Measuring Star Formation Histories from Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars. I. A Demonstration in M31

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We demonstrate how near-infrared (NIR) imaging of resolved luminous asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars can be used to measure well-constrained star formation histories (SFHs) across cosmic time.

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Slowly Rotating M Dwarfs with Unusually Strong Magnetic Fields: Interpreting the Data in Terms of How Stars Acquire Fields and How They Lose Fields

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
L. T. Lehmann et al. ( 2024 , hereafter L24) have reported on the presence of “unusually strong” (20-200 G) large-scale magnetic fields in six M dwarfs: four of the stars are probably completely convective, while two of the stars are probably only ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Carbon stars in populations of different metallicity

open access: yes, 1998
Our current knowledge of carbon stars in the local group and beyond, is discussed. Although many carbon stars and late M-stars have been identified in external galaxies a coherent understanding in terms of the chemical evolution-and star formation rate ...

Exploring the History of Stellar Mergers with Chemistry: Examining the Origins of Massive α-enriched Stars Using Carbon Isotope Ratios

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recently discovered massive α -enriched (MAE) stars have surface chemistry consistent with members of the older, thick-disk Milky Way population but high masses (∼1.5–3 M _⊙ ) that suggest these stars are young.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Integrated Mass Loss for Very Metal-poor Stars: Asterosesimic Red Giant Masses of K2 Globular Cluster NGC 5897

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Mass loss in low-mass stars during the red giant branch (RGB) and early asymptotic giant branch (EAGB) phases plays a key role in shaping stellar evolution, yet its dependence on stellar parameters such as metallicity remains poorly constrained, with ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...
