The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1985 Rotational velocities and spectral types have been determined for Be stars in 12 open clusters in both the northern and the southern sky, and color-magnitude or H-R diagrams constructed for each from available photometric data. The location of the Be stars in the color-magnitude diagrams shows again that Be stars may exist in various evolutionary ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

On the disc and halo of the milky way through a study of star clusters [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2000 The subject is the metallicity and the correlation between the metallicity and spatial distribution of star clusters of the Milky Way. The open star clusters are confirmed as good indicators for the population of the galactic disc, whereas the globular ...

VARIABLE STARS IN THE OPEN CLUSTER NGC 7142 [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2011 We present new discoveries of variable stars near the turnoff of the old open cluster NGC 7142. Contrary to previous studies, we detect eight contact or near contact eclipsing binaries (including three near the cluster turnoff), and most of these have good probability of being cluster members.

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Tidal Stripping as the Driver of Mass Segregation in the Young Open Cluster NGC 2422
The Astronomical JournalWe present strong evidence that mass segregation in the young open cluster NGC 2422 (age ≈84 Myr) is primarily driven by tidal stripping. Analysis of the radial mass distribution reveals a significant overabundance of low-mass stars ( M

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Despite having data for over 10 ^9 stars from Gaia, less than 10 ^4 star clusters and candidates have been discovered. In particular, distant star clusters are rarely identified, due to the challenges posed by heavy extinction and great distance. However,

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
