When the rare earth mononitrides (RENs) first burst onto the scientific scene in the middle of
last century, there were feverish dreams that their strong magnetic moment would afford a …

Virus particles in epithelial cells of duodenal mucosa from children with acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis

RF Bishop, GP Davidson, IH Holmes, BJ Ruck - The Lancet, 1973 - Elsevier
Electron microscopy of duodenal mucosa from nine children with acute non-bacterial
gastroenteritis revealed virus particles in epithelial cells from six patients. The morphology of the …
