An old, metal-rich accreted stellar component in the Milky Way stellar disk

, 2022
We study the possibility that the Milky Ways' cool stellar disk includes mergers with ancient stars. Galaxies are understood to form in a hierarchical manner, where smaller (proto-)galaxies merge into larger ones.

A Dual‐Functional Nanoplatform Targeting the dsDNA–cGAS Axis to Mitigate Disc Degeneration and Aberrant Innervation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RU@PEI‐ZIF integrates dsDNA scavenging with local cGAS inhibition to suppress the dsDNA–cGAS–STING/Netrin‐1 axis in intervertebral disc degeneration. By attenuating nucleus pulposus cell senescence, inflammatory and matrix‐catabolic responses, and pathological sensory innervation, this dual‐functional nanoplatform preserves disc integrity and reduces ...

Icarus Revisited: An Ancient, Metal-poor Accreted Stellar Stream in the Disk of the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal
The search for accreted satellites in the Galactic disk is a challenging task, to which Gaia plays a crucial role in synergy with ground-based spectroscopic surveys. In 2021, P. Re Fiorentin et al.

Donor‐Cell Senescence Redirects PINK1‐Marked Mitochondrial Cargo From Mitophagy to Microvesicle Transfer Through SUMO3‐Stabilized HSPA9

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicle therapies have been developed for tissue repair, but how donor‐cell senescence reshapes vesicle‐mediated mitochondrial transfer remains unclear. Here, we show that senescent adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) redirect damaged mitochondria into microvesicles (MVs), converting protective vesicles into pro‐degenerative ...

The Milky Way’s Circular Velocity Curve Measured Using Element Abundance Gradients

The Astrophysical Journal
Spectroscopic surveys now supply precise stellar label measurements such as element abundances for large samples of stars throughout the Milky Way. These element abundances are known to correlate with orbital actions or other dynamical invariants.

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...

The Milky Way’s Rowdy Neighbors: The Effects of the Large Magellanic Cloud and Sagittarius Dwarf on the Milky Way Disk

The Astrophysical Journal
The Milky Way (MW) is a barred spiral galaxy shaped by tidal interactions with its satellites. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr) are the dominant influences at the present day. This paper presents a suite of four 10 ^

Exploring the Milky Way stellar disk

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Elemental abundances in long-lived dwarf stars provide important constraints on the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk. While several large spectroscopic surveys provide abundances for vast stellar samples, small homogeneous samples remain ...

Ocular morphology and morphometry of the great egret (Ardea alba): A comprehensive anatomical description

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is widely distributed, yet knowledge of its ocular morphology remains limited. This study described the morphometry and morphology of the eyeball and its accessory glands in six specimens using radiography, morphometry, light and scanning electron microscopy, and 3D scanning.

Mapping the Chemodynamics of the Galactic Disk Using the LAMOST and APOGEE Red Clump Stars

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
A detailed measurement is made of the metallicity distributions, kinematics, and dynamics of the thin and thick disks across a large disk volume (5.0 ≤ R ≤ 15.0 kpc and ∣ Z ∣ ≤ 3.0 kpc) by using the LAMOST–APOGEE red clump stars.
