I-band Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars. I. Exploring a New Standard Candle for the Extragalactic Distance Scale

The Astronomical Journal
In the I -band color–magnitude diagrams of resolved nearby galaxies, the reddest asymptotic giant branch ( AGB ) stars form a previously unremarked-upon, but nevertheless distinct and easily identified population of high-luminosity stars.

Simulations of facular magnetic fields on cool stars

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Stellar convection in the presence of magnetic field affects the emergent intensity, as well as the structure and evolution of cool main-sequence dwarfs. Aims.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Magnetic Doppler imaging of early-type stars

, 2010
Doppler imaging of early-type magnetic stars is the most advanced method to interpret their line profile variations. DI allows us to study directly a complex interplay between chemical spots, magnetic fields, and the mass loss.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

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.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Hints of enhanced magnetic activity after the intermediate rotation period gap as traced by the chromospheric Ca II infrared triplet

Astronomy & Astrophysics
For low-mass stars (M < 1.4 M⊙), the connection between stellar rotation and magnetic activity governs stellar spin-down, shapes the environments of their exoplanets, and provides an age-diagnostic via magneto-gyro-chronology.
