Planet-driven Spiral Arms in Protoplanetary Disks. II. Implications

, 2018
We examine whether various characteristics of planet-driven spiral arms can be used to constrain the masses of unseen planets and their positions within their disks.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

How Does a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy Form Spiral Arms?

The Astrophysical Journal
The formation and evolution of spiral arms in low surface brightness galaxies (LSBs) are not well understood. We study the dynamics of spiral arms in two prototypical LSBs, FGC 568-VI and FGC 568-01, using both analytical models and N -body ...

Effects of Multiple Spiral Arm Patterns on the Abundance Gradients of Heavy Elements

Galaxies
Understanding how spiral structures influence the chemical evolution of the Galactic disc remains a key issue in Galactic archaeology. Recent advances in two-dimensional chemical evolution modeling allow us to account for the impact of multiple spiral ...

TRAIP Mediates Alcohol‐Induced Liver Injury through Regulating β‐catenin Ubiquitin Degradation via Direct Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that NF‐κB1‐driven TRAIP upregulation in ALD correlates with disease severity. Mechanistically, TRAIP directly binds β‐catenin via its CC domain and promotes its K48‐linked ubiquitination and degradation, which is independent of the GSK3β/β‐TrCP pathway.

Dynamically Driven Evolution of Molecular Gas in the Barred Spiral Galaxy M83 Traced by CO J = 2–1/1–0 Line Ratio Variations

The Astrophysical Journal
We show the variations of the CO J = 2–1/1–0 line ratio ( R _21/10 ) across the barred spiral galaxy M83, using the 46 pc resolution data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The R _21/10 map clearly evidences the systematic large-scale

With arms wide open: A VLT/MUSE view of the mechanisms driving unwinding spiral arms in cluster galaxies

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The environmental mechanisms driving unwinding spiral arms in cluster galaxies remain debated. While earlier studies attributed this phenomenon primarily to gravitational interactions, more recent works suggest that ram-pressure stripping (RPS ...

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Multiband ALMA Polarization Observations of BHB 07-11 Reveal Aligned Dust Grains in Complex Spiral Arm Structures

The Astrophysical Journal
Polarization-mode observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) are powerful tools for studying the dust grain populations in circumstellar disks.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...
