Electron Tomography and Simulation of Baculovirus Actin Comet Tails Support a Tethered Filament Model of Pathogen Propulsion [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2014 Several pathogens induce propulsive actin comet tails in cells they invade to disseminate their infection. They achieve this by recruiting factors for actin nucleation, the Arp2/3 complex, and polymerization regulators from the host cytoplasm.

Recurring Activity Discovered on Quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We have discovered two epochs of activity on quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ _118 . Small bodies that display comet-like activity, such as active asteroids and active quasi-Hildas, are important for understanding the distribution of water and other volatiles ...

Sodium Brightening of (3200) Phaethon near Perihelion
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Sunskirting asteroid (3200) Phaethon has been repeatedly observed in Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) Heliospheric Imager 1 (HI1) imagery to anomalously brighten and produce an antisunward tail for a few days near each perihelion passage,

Auroral responses to the visit of comet 73P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 3 in 2006
Geoscience Letters, 2022 The stunning tails of comets are interesting astronomical phenomena to human beings and have been noticed for thousands of years. The bright tails also emit substantial materials into interplanetary space, including dusts and charged particles.

Active Asteroid 311P/PanSTARRS: Rotational Instability as the Origin of its Multitails?
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The active asteroid 311P/PanSTARRS is one of the two targets of the planned Chinese asteroid exploration mission Tianwen-2. During 2013, 311P experienced several mass-loss events and exhibited multiple comet-like tails. Here we analyze the morphology and

Palladin Compensates for the Arp2/3 Complex and Supports Actin Structures during
mBio, 2018 Palladin is an important component of motile actin-rich structures and nucleates branched actin filament arrays in vitro. Here we examine the role of palladin during Listeria monocytogenes infections in order to tease out novel functions of palladin.
