The invention relates to a process for fabricating a device (1) based on crystalline SiC, and preferably monocrystalline SiC, the process combining: - using a buffer layer (3) that is specific, because of its refractory and inert aspects with respect to temperature and because its crystalline properties are close to those of SiC, to grow the device (1), and - performing laser lift off on the device (1) via sacrifice of the buffer layer (3), the latter having a thickness allowing functional absorption of laser lift-off radiation while remaining thin enough not to exhibit dislocations liable to propagate into the device (1) during its growth. Thermal budget is decreased, with respect to known methods, and the integrity of the device (1) is better preserved, at least relative to what would be observed if a thermal anneal, for example at a temperature above 400°C, were applied to lift off the device (1).

An undergarment having an internal pouch for shielding male genitalia from radiation as well as separating the scrotum from the inner thighs, the undergarment providing a crotch gusset defining an anterior opening of the undergarment. An anterior panel depends from the waistband of the undergarment adjacent to the anterior opening. A barrier layer extends downwardly in a sloped configuration between the waistband and a posterior portion of the crotch gusset. A longitudinal slit formed in and centrally located in the barrier layer allows the male genitalia to be received in a phallic pouch defined by the anterior panel. A lateral connection between each of two opposing lateral edges of the barrier layer and the crotch gusset defines a gap between the anterior panel and the barrier layer as well as define a scrotal pouch disposed posterior to pendulous pouch.

The invention relates to a method for quantifying haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), in which method at least one sample comprising cells, which each comprise at least one nucleic acid molecule, is provided, and the methylation level of at least one CpG dinucleotide within at least one specific region of the nucleic acid molecule is determined. The determined methylation level of the CpG dinucleotide then indicates the proportion of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the sample. According to the invention, the specific region is selected from the group consisting of the following genes: serine/threonine kinase 17a (STK17A); myosin ID (MYOID); nuclear body protein SP140 (SP140); CD48 molecule (CD48); and nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATC1). The predictions made using the signature according to the invention correlate with the flow cytometric analysis of CD34+ counts in mobilised peripheral blood.
