Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Chemical Links between a Young M-type T Tauri Star and Its Substellar Companion: Spectral Analysis and C/O Measurement of DH Tau A

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The chemical abundance measurements of host stars and their substellar companions provide a powerful tool to trace the formation mechanism of the planetary systems.

Chemical Analysis of the Brightest Star of the Cetus II Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Candidate

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a detailed chemical abundance analysis of the brightest star in the ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxy candidate Cetus II from high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra.

Detection of Phosphorus, Sulphur, and Zinc in the Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Star BD+44 493

open access: yes, 2016
The carbon-enhanced metal-poor star BD+44 493 ([Fe/H]=-3.9) has been proposed as a candidate second-generation star enriched by metals from a single Pop III star.

Abundances in J-Type Carbon Stars [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1988
It has been found by Utsumi(1985a,b) that in J-type carbon stars of C4-5 and WZ Cas(C9,2J Li), abundances of s-process elements with respect to Fe are nearly normal, while in normal carbon stars of C5-8, heavy metals are overabundant by factors of 10-100, and rare-earth elements are overabundant by a factor of about 10.In the MK system, most J-type ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

The Secular Evolution of Planetary Nebula IC 418 and Its Implications for Carbon Star Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The rate of stellar evolution can rarely be measured in real time. The fastest evolution (excluding event-driven evolution), where stars may evolve measurably over decades, is during the post–Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase. In this Letter we provide

On the Symbiotic X-Ray Binary Nature of the Star CGCS 5926

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2012
We report on multiwavelength (from X-ray to optical) follow up observations of a carbon star CGCS 5926, motivated by the fact that it is positionally coincident with a faint X-ray source of the ROSAT catalog, thus suggesting its possible symbiotic X-ray ...

Optical Readout Time Projection Chamber (O-TPC) for a Study of Oxygen Formation In Stellar Helium Burning

open access: yes, 2005
We are developing an Optical Readout Time Projection Chamber (O-TPC) detector for the study of the 12C(a,g)16O reaction that determines the ratio of carbon to oxygen in helium burning.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...
