On the distance to the Ophiuchus star‐forming region [PDF]

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2008
AbstractThe Ophiuchus molecular cloud complex has produced in Lynds 1688 the richest known embedded cluster within ∼300 pc of the Sun. Unfortunately, distance estimates to the Oph complex vary by nearly ∼40% (∼120–165 pc). Here I calculate a new independent distance estimate of 135±8 pc to this benchmark star‐forming region based on Hipparcos ...

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 ...

The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Hot Molecular Cores Are a Long-standing Phenomenon in the Evolution of Massive Protostars

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an analysis of the QUARKS survey sample, focusing on protoclusters where hot molecular cores (HMCs; traced by CH _3 CN (12–11)) and HC/UC H ii regions (traced by H30 α /H40 α ) coexist.

Anomalous Microwave Emission from Star Forming Regions

Advances in Astronomy, 2013
The evidence for microwave emission from spinning dust grains has been strengthened considerably by its detection in a number of discrete astrophysical objects associated with star formation.

Identifying Physical Structures in Our Galaxy with Gaussian Mixture Models: An Unsupervised Machine Learning Technique

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We explore the potential of the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), an unsupervised machine-learning method, to identify coherent physical structures in the interstellar medium.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

The ALMA-ATOMS Survey: Methanol Emission in a Large Sample of Hot Molecular Cores

The Astrophysical Journal
Methanol (CH _3 OH) is a key complex organic molecule (COM) in the interstellar medium, widely used as a tracer of dense gas and hot molecular cores (HMCs).

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Signatures of Mass Segregation from Competitive Accretion and Monolithic Collapse

The Astrophysical Journal
The two main competing theories proposed to explain the formation of massive (>10 M _⊙ ) stars—competitive accretion and monolithic core collapse—make different observable predictions for the environment of the massive stars during, and immediately after,
