Extreme close encounters between proto-Mercury and proto-Venus in terrestrial planet formation [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, June 2020, 2020 Modern models of terrestrial planet formation require solids depletion interior to 0.5-0.7 au in the planetesimal disk to explain the small mass of Mercury. Earth and Venus analogues emerge after ~100 Myr collisional growth while Mercury form in the diffusive tails of the planetesimal disk.

A novel direct activator of AMPK inhibits prostate cancer growth by blocking lipogenesis
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2014 5′AMP‐activated kinase (AMPK) constitutes a hub for cellular metabolic and growth control, thus representing an ideal therapeutic target for prostate cancers (PCas) characterized by increased lipogenesis and activation of mTORC1 pathway. However, whether

Sensing Mercury for Biomedical and Environmental Monitoring
Sensors, 2009 Mercury is a very toxic element that is widely spread in the atmosphere, lithosphere, and surface water. Concentrated mercury poses serious problems to human health, as bioaccumulation of mercury within the brain and kidneys ultimately leads to ...

Origin and evolution of Mercury's circumsolar dust ring [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A circumsolar dust ring has been recently discovered close to the orbit of Mercury. There are currently no hypotheses for the origin of this ring in the literature, so we explore four different origin scenarios here: the dust originated from (1) the sporadic meteoroid complex that comprises the major portion of the Zodiacal Cloud, (2) recent asteroidal/

Hypothetical hyperbolic encounters between Venus and proto-Mercury that partially \ stripped away proto-Mercury's mantle [PDF]
, 2019 Mercury has an unusually large metal core comprising ~70% of its mass comparing to all other terrestrial planets in the solar system. Giant impacts can remove a significant fraction of the silicate mantle of a chondritic proto-Mercury and form the iron rich present-day Mercury.
