The Evolution of Carbon Stars [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1993
This dissertation is concerned with the nature of the carbon stars, unusual late-type stars in which the abundance of carbon in the photosphere is greater than that of oxygen. Data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) survey has shown that carbon stars which were identified from optical surveys and those identified from the SiC dust features

The Frequency of Carbon Stars among Extremely Metal-poor Stars [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2005
We demonstrate that there are systematic scale errors in the [Fe/H] values determined by the Hamburg/ESO Survey (and by inference by the HK Survey in the past) for certain extremely metal poor highly C-enhanced giants. The consequences of these scale errors are that a) the fraction of carbon stars at extremely low metallicities has been overestimated ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Carbon Star Identification in LAMOST DR12 Based on a Multiscale Global and Local Spectral Feature Fusion Model

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Carbon stars are important kinematic tracers for investigating the structure and evolutionary history of the Milky Way. Therefore, the efficient identification of carbon stars from large-scale spectroscopic surveys is of great scientific importance.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Exploring the History of Stellar Mergers with Chemistry: Examining the Origins of Massive α-enriched Stars Using Carbon Isotope Ratios

The Astrophysical Journal
Recently discovered massive α -enriched (MAE) stars have surface chemistry consistent with members of the older, thick-disk Milky Way population but high masses (∼1.5–3 M _⊙ ) that suggest these stars are young.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars: Shedding light on the cosmic origin of heavy elements [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Low-mass, low-metallicity stars while evolving through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase undergo significant nucleosynthesis producing the majority of slow (s-) and intermedite (i-) neutron capture elements.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...
