Endoglin mediates the tumor‐ and metastasis‐promoting traits of stromal myofibroblasts in human breast carcinomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Carcinoma‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in tumors influence cancer progression. We identified endoglin (ENG) as a key factor in TGF‐β signaling in myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs), linked to poor breast cancer outcomes. Inhibiting ENG on myCAFs suppressed the TGF‐β‐Smad2/3 pathway, reducing primary tumor growth and metastasis.

Are galactic coronae thermally unstable?

, 2010
A substantial fraction of the baryons of disk galaxies like the Milky Way is expected to reside in coronae of gas at the virial temperature. This is the only realistic reservoir of gas available to feed star formation in the disks.

Targeting carbonic anhydrase IX/XII prevents the anti‐ferroptotic effect of stromal lactic acid in prostate carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In prostate carcinoma, lactic acid, secreted by highly glycolytic cancer‐associated fibroblasts, is imported into tumor cells through the MCT1 transporter and prevents RSL3 and erastin‐induced ferroptosis (A). Targeting of carbonic anhydrase IX/XII, the main extracellular pH regulators, in tumor and stromal cells reduces microenvironmental acidosis and

What Is Missing from the Local Stellar Halo?

The Astrophysical Journal
The Milky Way’s stellar halo, which extends to >100 kpc, encodes the evolutionary history of our Galaxy. However, most studies of the halo to date have been limited to within a few kiloparsecs of the Sun.

The Dichotomy of the Halo of the Milky Way

, 2008
We summarize evidence that the halo of the Milky Way comprises two different, and broadly overlapping, stellar components. The two structures exhibit different chemical compositions, spatial distributions, and kinematics.

Targeting of PTP4A3 overexpression sensitises HGSOC cells towards chemotherapeutic drugs

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In HGSOC with normal KRAS expression, high PTP4A3 expression regulates autophagy activation. Conversely, in HGSOC with high KRAS expression, KRAS dictates autophagy control, and PTP4A3 is not required. When high PTP4A3 expression is inhibited, HGSOC cells are preferentially sensitised towards DNA‐damaging agents.

Mapping the Galactic Disk with the LAMOST and Gaia Red Clump Sample. VIII. Mapping the Kinematics of the Galactic Disk Using Mono-age and Mono-abundance Stellar Populations

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a comprehensive study of the kinematic properties of the different Galactic disk populations, as defined by the chemical abundance ratios and stellar ages, across a large disk volume (4.5 ≤ R ≤ 15.0 kpc and ∣ Z ∣ ≤ 3.0 kpc), by using the ...

Spitzer IRAC Observations of Star Formation in N159 in the LMC

, 2004
We present observations of the giant HII region complex N159 in the LMC using IRAC on the {\it Spitzer Space Telescope}. One of the two objects previously identified as protostars in N159 has an SED consistent with classification as a Class I young ...

RKIP overexpression reduces lung adenocarcinoma aggressiveness and sensitizes cells to EGFR‐targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RKIP, a metastasis suppressor protein, modulates key oncogenic pathways in lung adenocarcinoma. In silico analyses linked low RKIP expression to poor survival. Functional studies revealed RKIP overexpression reduces tumor aggressiveness and enhances sensitivity to EGFR‐targeted therapies, while its loss promotes resistance.

Accurate, Precise, and Physically Self-consistent Ages and Metallicities for 400,000 Solar Neighborhood Subgiant Branch Stars

The Astrophysical Journal
Age is the most difficult fundamental stellar parameter to infer for isolated stars. While isochrone-based ages are in general imprecise for both main-sequence dwarfs and red giants, precise isochrone-based ages can be obtained for stars on the subgiant ...
