Orbits and Masses of the Small Satellites of Pluto
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We present a new orbit and mass solution for the four small satellites of Pluto: Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. We have reanalyzed all available observations of the Pluto system obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope from 2005 to 2019 with the ACS ...

Inhalable Hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p Liposomes Attenuate Pulmonary Fibrosis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study explores inhalable hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p‐loaded liposomes as a treatment for bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p is electroporated into liposomes and formulated into a dry powder for inhalation. Delivered via dry powder inhalation, it improves pulmonary function, promotes myofibroblast de‐differentiation by targeting CNPY2 ...

A recent origin for Saturn's rings from the collisional disruption of an icy moon [PDF]
, 2017 The disruption of an icy moon in a collision with an interloping comet a few hundred million years ago is a simple way to create Saturn's rings. A ring parent moon with a mass comparable to Mimas could be trapped in mean motion resonance with Enceladus and Dione in an orbit near the current outer edge of the rings just beyond the Roche zone.

The Nuclear Receptor NR1B1/RARα Arrests the Differentiation of Anti‐Tumor Effector Cytotoxic T Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.RARα is highly expressed by differentiated effector and exhausted T cells and exerts a negative effect on effector T cell differentiation and the associated trafficking receptor switch. Upregulated RARα levels decrease the nuclear histone acetylase (HAT) activity, and this suppresses the expression of key Teff transcription factor BATF and trafficking ...

Enceladus as a Potential Niche for Methanogens and Estimation of Its Biomass
Life, 2021 Enceladus is a potential target for future astrobiological missions. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft demonstrated that the Saturnian moon harbors a salty ocean beneath its icy crust and the existence and analysis of the plume suggest water–rock reactions ...

DNA Origami‐Cyanine Nanocomplex for Precision Imaging of KRAS‐Mutant Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.DNA origami‐cyanine (Do‐Cy) nanocomplexes are synthesized to selectively image KRAS‐mutant pancreatic cancer cells in the highly desmoplastic tumors. This study shows that the Do‐Cy nanocomplexes are preferentially internalized by cancer cells over other stroma cells via KRAS‐dependent macropinocytosis.

Measuring Ganymede’s Librations with Laser Altimetry
Geosciences, 2019 Jupiter’s moon Ganymede might be in possession of a subsurface ocean located between two ice layers. However, from Galileo data it is not possible to unambiguously infer the thickness and densities of the individual layers.

Longitudinal Variation of H2O Ice Absorption on Miranda
The Planetary Science Journal, 2022 Many tidally locked icy satellites in the outer solar system show leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetries in the strength of near-infrared (NIR) H _2 O ice absorption bands, in which the absorption bands are stronger on the leading hemisphere. This is
