Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances to NGC 1316, NGC 1380, NGC 1404, and NGC 4457: A Pilot Study of a Parallel Distance Ladder Using Type Ia Supernovae in Early-type Host Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
Although Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are found in all galaxies types, recent local Hubble constant measurements have disfavored using SNe Ia in early-type/quiescent galaxies, aiming instead for better consistency with SNe Ia in star-forming/late-type ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

The Redshift Evolution of Early‐Type Galaxies in COSMOS: Do Massive Early‐Type Galaxies Form by Dry Mergers?

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2007
ABRIDGED: We study the evolution since z~1 of the rest-frame B luminosity function of the early-type galaxies (ETGs) in ~0.7 deg^2 in the COSMOS field. In order to identify ALL progenitors of local ETGs we construct the sample of high-z galaxies using two complementary criteria: (i) A morphological selection based on the Zurich Estimator of Structural ...

BerryBox: An affordable computer vision system for postharvest phenotyping of cranberry and other small fruits

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Fruit size, shape, color, and percent fruit rot are important quality traits for breeding cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.). Image analysis can be used to measure these traits, but affordable hardware for standardized image capture and integrated user‐friendly software pipelines are lacking.

Serendipitous Discovery of Short Peptides Dimethylammonium Salt Promoting Neural Differentiation

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Design and synthesis of new heptapeptides exhibiting significant neuroprotection and structure–activity relationship (SAR) insights to guide the development of bioactive peptides. ABSTRACT The synthesis and in vitro neuronal growth support activity of a novel series of heptapeptides (1–19) are reported here. Structural studies of the peptide 3 (LSAVTFG.

Diverse reddening distributions in sight lines for type Ia supernovae

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Accurate cosmological constraints from type Ia supernovae (SNe) require sufficiently accurate corrections for host-galaxy extinction. Modelling these corrections is challenged by the problem of disentangling the SN’s intrinsic colours from host ...

Asking the 5 W's for designing next‐generation bioprocessing

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Biotechnology is expanding beyond traditional, centralized fermentation and toward next‐generation bioprocessing paradigms that emphasize flexible deployment outside the laboratory with application‐specific performance. However, many bioprocesses fail to translate beyond proof‐of‐concept into industrially viable systems because early design ...

A Comparison of Full Spectral Fitting Codes for Measuring the Stellar Initial Mass Function and Other Stellar Population Properties in Elliptical Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a comparative test of four widely used full spectral fitting codes, with the aim of answering the question: How robust is the retrieval of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and other stellar properties of galaxies?

Unveiling the Functional Role of KIF21B in Microglia Inflammatory Response

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Microglia express KIF21B in both sexes. KIF21B binds to microglia cytoskeleton; inflammation alters such interaction promoting a phagocytic state in females. In male microglia KIF21B modulates migration. ABSTRACT Microglia are brain immune cells that maintain homeostasis and respond to injury, changing cell morphology to drive inflammation, migration ...
