Thermal Infrared Imaging of Protoplanetary Disks and Substellar Companions with LBTI

, 2020
The ESO/Breakthrough-sponsored New Earths in the Alpha Centauri Region (NEAR) program recently completed the first ultra-deep stare on Alpha Centauri with the upgraded VISIR-NEAR instrument. In this talk, I will describe the data reduction and scientific results of the NEAR campaign, with a focus on challenges within the existing data and how ...

Observation of Io's Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground‐Based Adaptive Optics at Visible Wavelengths With LBT SHARK‐VIS

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 11, 16 June 2024.
Abstract Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes on Io's surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground‐based telescopes. Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a ground‐based telescope.

ELT Imaging of MWC 297 from the 23 m LBTI: Complex Disk Structure and a Companion Candidate

The Astronomical Journal, 2020
Abstract Herbig Ae/Be stars represent the early outcomes of star formation and the initial stages of planet formation at intermediate stellar masses. Understanding both of these processes requires detailed characterization of their disk structures and companion frequencies. We present new 3.7 μm imaging of the Herbig Be star MWC 297 from

Inhibitors of BMP‐1/tolloid‐like proteinases: efficacy, selectivity and cellular toxicity

FEBS Open Bio, 2018
BMP‐1/tolloid‐like proteinases belong to the astacin family of human metalloproteinases, together with meprins and ovastacin. They represent promising targets to treat or prevent a wide range of diseases such as fibrotic disorders or cancer. However, the

Loss of testosterone induces postprandial insulin resistance and increases the expression of the hepatic antioxidant flavin‐containing monooxygenases in mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia

Acta Physiologica, Volume 240, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Aim We tested the hypothesis that low testosterone alters the effects of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on glucose homeostasis, hepatic oxidative stress, and transcriptomic profile in male mice. Methods We used sham‐operated or orchiectomized (ORX) mice exposed to normoxia (Nx) or IH for 2 weeks.

Histones deacetylases in the epidermis: structure, functions and therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Epigenetics and Epigenomics
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key epigenetic regulators that catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from histones and non-histone proteins, thereby modulating chromatin accessibility and gene expression.

Exploring mitochondrial metabolism of wild‐type and diabetic mice skin explants using the Seahorse technology

Skin Research and Technology, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Background Skin wound healing is a complex mechanism which requires a lot of energy, mainly provided by mitochondrial respiration. However, little is known about the mitochondrial bioenergetics of mice skin. We sought to develop a microplate‐based assay to directly measure oxygen consumption in whole mice skin with the goal of identifying ...

Risk factors and prognosis for latent tuberculosis infection in dialysis patients: A retrospective cohort study at a single tertiary care center

Seminars in Dialysis, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 59-64, January/February 2024.
Abstract Introduction Recent studies report that latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) may lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) that led us to hypothesize that LTBI may play an important role in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in dialysis patients. Methods A single‐center retrospective cohort study was conducted.
