Detectability Simulations of a Near-infrared Surface Biosignature on Proxima Centauri b with Future Space Observatories

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Telescope missions are currently being designed that will make direct imaging of habitable exoplanets possible in the near future, and studies are needed to quantify the detectability of biosignature features in the planet’s reflectance spectrum.

Application of chemotactic behavior for life detection

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
One excellent biosignature for the present detection of microbial life on Earth is motility, leading to its growing interest within the astrobiological community as an observable attribute that, if detected during future in situ space missions, could ...

The O2 A-band in fluxes and polarization of starlight reflected by Earth-like exoplanets

open access: yes, 2017
Earth-like, potentially habitable exoplanets are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life. Information about their atmosphere and surface can be derived by analyzing light of the parent star reflected by the planet.

Spatially and temporally progressive hypoperfusion in Alzheimer's disease revealed by normative modeling

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Cerebral perfusion is implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its development in AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is not well characterized. METHODS We constructed a normative model using > 12,000 arterial spin labeling MRI scans and applied generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS).

Discriminating between extinct and extant life detection: implications for future Mars missions

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The search for biosignatures on Mars has been a high priority for astrobiology. The approach to detecting putative biosignatures has largely been focused on chemical analyses targeting predominantly extinct life.

A proposal for climate stability on H2-greenhouse planets

open access: yes, 2015
A terrestrial planet in an orbit far outside of the standard habitable zone could maintain surface liquid water as a result of H2-H2 collision-induced absorption by a thick H2 atmosphere.

The Dietary Polyphenol Resveratrol in Intestinal Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury: From Multifaceted Protective Mechanisms to Clinical Translation Challenges

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Intestinal ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury is a life‐threatening condition with mortality approaching 50%, driven by oxidative stress, inflammatory cascades, ferroptosis, and intestinal barrier disruption that ultimately precipitates distant organ dysfunction.

A test for the search for life on extrasolar planets: Looking for the terrestrial vegetation signature in the Earthshine spectrum

open access: yes, 2002
We report spectroscopic observations (400 to 800nm, R = approx 100) of Earthshine in June, July and October 2001 from which normalised Earth albedo spectra have been derived. The resulting spectra clearly show the blue colour of the Earth due to Rayleigh

Surface‐Driven Protocell Formation in Geologically Relevant Early Earth Environment

open access: yesChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Illustration of a prebiotic early‐Earth environment showing cell‐like protocells (blue spheres) and other complex organic molecules (pink and green spheres) distributed across terrestrial surfaces and within subsurface niches. Volcanic landscapes and mineral‐rich substrates provide diverse geochemical settings for the assembly and evolution of ...
