Lightning detection in planetary atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yesWeather, 72, 2, 46-50 (2017), 2016
Lightning in planetary atmospheres is now a well-established concept. Here we discuss the available detection techniques for, and observations of, planetary lightning by spacecraft, planetary landers and, increasingly, sophisticated terrestrial radio telescopes.

Lightning protection: getting it wrong [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Lightning has become a significant threat to electronics in many countries where the natural phenomenon has previously been treated only as an occasional attacker of careless living beings.

Lightning on exoplanets and brown dwarfs: Modelling and detection of lightning signatures throughout the electromagnetic spectrum [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Lightning is an important electrical phenomenon, known to exist in several Solar System planets. It carries information on convection and cloud formation, and may be important for pre-biotic chemistry. Exoplanets and brown dwarfs have been shown to host environments appropriate for the initiation of lightning discharges.

“Someday, I'll be an ancestor:” Understanding indigenous intergenerational connectedness through qualitative research to inform measure development

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intergenerational connectedness broadly encompasses relations among humans, lands, and all living and spiritual beings, and functions as an important part of Indigenous well‐being. Many public health campaigns and interventions aim to promote connectedness to support holistic wellness and reduce health inequities. Currently, however, there are

Hypoferremic Response to Chronic Inflammation Is Controlled via the Hemojuvelin/Hepcidin/Ferroportin Axis and Does Not Involve Hepcidin‐Independent Regulation of Fpn mRNA

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The iron regulatory hormone hepcidin contributes to the pathogenesis of anemia of inflammation (AI) by inhibiting the iron exporter ferroportin in target cells, causing hypoferremia. Under acute inflammation, hepcidin induction requires hemojuvelin (Hjv), a bone morphogenetic protein co‐receptor, while Fpn mRNA is also suppressed in a hepcidin‐

Graphene Oxide‐Based Gene Modulation in Preferential Elimination of Lung Cancer Cells in a 3D Tumor Microenvironment Model

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Chemically modified graphene oxide nanocarriers provide a targeted lung cancer gene therapy platform. In a 3D tumor microenvironment model, these nanocarriers deliver therapeutic genes, regulate immune markers, and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Combined gene delivery enhances cancer cell elimination, demonstrating the potential of this approach for
