Iterative Learning Control for Precision Motion Control of Microscale and Nanoscale Tracking Systems
Second, we develop a set of time-frequency ILC design and analysis techniques. These techniques are used to custom-design the ILC for precision tracking of aggressive trajectories suitable for rapid microscale and nanoscale manufacturing, assembly, or scanning. They are also useful for applications …

Regulation of Adaptive and Innate Immunity by the Circadian Transcription Factor NFIL3
… regulating TH17 cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), respectively. First, NFIL3 transcriptionally represses RORgt, the master regulator of TH17 cells, by directly binding to the Rorgt promoter and thereby suppresses TH17 cell development from naïve T helper cells. Consistent with oscillation of …
