Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

An In-depth Investigation of the Primordial Cluster Pair ASCC 19 and ASCC 21

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Utilizing Gaia data from the literature, we report a new young (∼8.9 Myr) cluster pair, ASCC 19 and ASCC 21, located near the Orion star-forming complex. The clusters are separated by a 3D distance of 27.00 ± 7.51 pc.

New atlas of open star clusters

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
Due to numerous new discoveries of open star clusters in the last two decades, astronomers need an easy-touse resource to get visual information on the relative position of clusters in the sky. Therefore we propose a new atlas of open star clusters.

Survey for Distant Stellar Aggregates in the Galactic Disk: Detecting 2000 Star Clusters and Candidates, along with the Dwarf Galaxy IC 10

open access: yesThe 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,

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

Open Cluster Study Using Gaia. I. Membership and Cluster Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Star clusters are interesting laboratories to study star formation, single and binary stellar evolution, and stellar dynamics. We have used the exquisite data from Gaia’s Data Release 3 (DR3) to study 21 relatively rich and nearby open clusters with ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

A Systematic Analysis of Star Cluster Disruption by Tidal Shocks. II. Predicting Star Cluster Dissolution Rates from a Time-series Analysis of Their Tidal Histories

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Most of the dynamical mass loss from star clusters is thought to be caused by the time variability of the tidal field (“tidal shocks”). Systematic studies of tidal shocks have been hampered by the fact that each tidal history is unique, implying both a ...

FEAST: Feedback in Emerging extragAlactic Star ClusTers: JWST Spots Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Destruction in NGC 628 during the Emerging Phase of Star Formation

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal
We investigate the emergence phase of young star clusters in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 628. We use JWST NIRCam and MIRI observations to create spatially resolved maps of the Paα 1.87 μm and Brα 4.05 μm hydrogen recombination lines, as well as 3.3 and ...

The formation and dynamical evolution of young star clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Recent observations have revealed a variety of young star clusters, including embedded systems, young massive clusters, and associations. We study the formation and dynamical evolution of these clusters using a combination of simulations and theoretical ...
