The Value-added Catalog of OB Stars in LAMOST DR7

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In this work, we update the catalog of OB stars based on the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope data release 7 and modify the OB stars’ selection criteria in spectral line indices’ space.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

The Ejecta Nebula Around the Wolf–Rayet Star WR 71

The Astronomical Journal
We present deep H α and [O iii ] images of the ejecta-rich nebulosity associated with the suspected runaway and binary Wolf–Rayet (WR) star WR 71 (HD 143414). In H α emission, the nebula appears as a crescent shaped, broken ring of clumpy emission some ${

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Using the Coolest Ae Stars to Constrain Circumstellar Disk Viscosity

The Astrophysical Journal
Classical Ae (CAe) stars are main-sequence, A-type stars with H α emission but no signature of dust. They are thought to be the cool extension of the classical Be stars to lower masses.

Going Forward to Unveil the Nature of γ Cas Analogs

Galaxies
The star γ Cas and its analogs are a subset of Be stars that display particularly hard and bright thermal X-ray emission, which has no equivalent among other massive stars.

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

The Birth of Be Star Disks. II. A High-resolution Spectroscopic Campaign and TESS Observations of an Outburst of the Classical Be Star λ Pavonis

The Astrophysical Journal
Be stars are rapidly rotating B stars that have shown emission lines originating in a circumstellar disk. The mechanisms that lead to disk formation and dissipation are not known although progress has been made with some systems.

A scaling relationship for nonthermal radio emission from ordered magnetospheres

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Magnetic BA-type stars typically host dipole-like magnetospheres. When detected as nonthermal radio sources, their luminosities are correlated with the stellar magnetic field and rotation speed.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).
