Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.

The Impact of Diffusion and Turbulent Mixing on Chemical Abundance Variations in the Open Cluster NGC 2420

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The mixing of material in stellar envelopes critically determines surface elemental abundances. A well-established tension remains between theoretical models and observational data for stars near the main-sequence turn-off.

Stellar abundances and nucleosynthesis

open access: yes, 2016
Stellar abundances are essential parameters for many branches of astronomy. They are also particularly important as tests for theories of nucleosynthesis. Despite the encouraging results from band photometry, detailed spectroscopic analyses are still important in furthering knowledge of physical processes occurring in a variety of stellar objects. This

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Stellar Spectral Signatures in High-Redshift Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Stellar emission and absorption lines are routinely observed in galaxies at redshifts up to 5 with spectrographs on 8-10m class telescopes. While the overall spectra are well understood and have been successfully modeled using empirical and theoretical ...

Abundance of Helium in Stellar Atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1971
Helium abundance in stellar atmospheres has been the subject of several recent investigations, essentially induced by progresses in the computation of non-grey model atmospheres (including line blanketing in the far U.V.), by considerable advances in the theory of Stark broadening of helium lines, by non local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) work for ...

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of single circulating tumor cells in the follow‐up of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single circulating tumor cells (sCTCs) from high‐grade serous ovarian cancer patients were enriched, imaged, and genomically profiled using WGA and NGS at different time points during treatment. sCTCs revealed enrichment of alterations in Chromosomes 2, 7, and 12 as well as persistent or emerging oncogenic CNAs, supporting sCTC identity.

Elemental ratios in stars vs planets

open access: yes, 2015
Context. The chemical composition of planets is an important constraint for planet formation and subsequent differentiation. While theoretical studies try to derive the compositions of planets from planet formation models in order to link the composition

The abundance of helium and stellar pulsation

open access: yesAstronomical & Astrophysical Transactions, 1998
Radial gradient of relative amplitude of the light variation FV for galactic classical Cepheids is found. The gradient has different signs for two cases: P > 8d and P < 8d. For P > 8d the gradient is negative. This gradient is caused by gradient of helium content in the primordial clouds, where Cepheids were born.
