Open star clusters and Galactic structure [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2017
AbstractIn order to understand the Galactic structure, we perform a statistical analysis of the distribution of various cluster parameters based on an almost complete sample of Galactic open clusters yet available. The geometrical and physical characteristics of a large number of open clusters given in the MWSC catalogue are used to study the spatial ...

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

Revisiting Open Clusters within 200 pc in the Solar Neighborhood with Gaia DR3

The Astronomical Journal
In this study, we develop a membership identification method and apply it for 30 open clusters (OCs) within 200 pc of the Sun using astrometric data of Gaia DR3.

A CATALOG OF 120 NGC OPEN STAR CLUSTERS [PDF]

Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2011
A sample of 145 JHK--2MASS observations of NGC open star clusters is studied, of which 132 have never been studied before. Twelve are classified as non-open clusters and 13 are re-estimated self-consistently, after applying the same methods in order to compare and calibrate our reduction procedures.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Forest Fire Clustering: A Novel Tool for Identifying Star Members of Clusters

The Astronomical Journal
In the era of a data-driven landscape, the development of an efficient and interpretable method has become a pivotal tool for robustly identifying memberships of clusters.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

A Near-infrared Spectral Library of Very Young Brown Dwarfs and Planetary Mass Objects in the Orion Nebula Cluster

The Astrophysical Journal
Age-benchmark brown dwarf and planetary-mass-object spectroscopy is key to characterizing substellar evolution. In this paper, we present the JHK medium-resolution ( R ∼ 3000) spectra of 25 7–76 M _Jup (spectral types L3.0–M6.0) brown dwarfs and ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.
