Stellar Mass Segregation in Dark Matter Halos
The Astrophysical JournalWe study the effect of stellar mass segregation driven by collisional relaxation within the potential well of a smooth dark matter halo. This effect is of particular relevance for old stellar systems with short crossing times, where small collisional ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Low-mass Stars: Their Protoplanetary Disk Lifetime Distribution
The Astrophysical JournalWhile most protoplanetary disks lose their gas within less than 10 Myr, individual disk lifetimes vary from 5 Myr. The next challenge is to quantitatively link the diversity of disk lifetimes to the diversity in planets.

On the lifetime of discs around late type stars
, 2011 We address the question of whether protoplanetary discs around low mass stars (e.g. M-dwarfs) may be longer lived than their solar-type counterparts. This question is particularly relevant to assess the planet-making potential of these lower mass discs ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesWhite dwarf–main-sequence (WD–MS) binary systems are essential probes for understanding binary stellar evolution and play a pivotal role in constraining theoretical models of various transient phenomena.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

The Kraft Break Sharply Divides Low-mass and Intermediate-mass Stars
The Astrophysical JournalMain-sequence stars transition at mid-F spectral types from slowly rotating (cooler stars) to rapidly rotating (hotter stars), a transition known as the Kraft Break and attributed to the disappearance of the outer convective envelope, causing magnetic ...

SMA and CARMA observations of young brown dwarfs in ρ Ophiuchi and Taurus
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 Molecular outflows provide vital information about the earliest stages in the birth of stars, studying the molecular outflow properties is therefore crucial for understanding how stars form.

Evolutionary effects of mass loss in low-mass stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1981 AbstractThe effects of mass loss on the evolution of low-mass stars (actual mass smaller than 1.4 Mʘ) are reviewed. The case of globular cluster stars is discussed in some detail, and it is shown that evolutionary theory sets quite precise limits to the mass-loss rate in population II red giants.
