Observations of the Halo Star HD 177566

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have analyzed archival far-ultraviolet (FUV) and optical spectra of the hot halo star HD 177566. The star has an effective temperature T _eff = 33,000 ± 1000 K, surface gravity $\mathrm{log}g=3.79\pm 0.11$ , and helium abundance $\mathrm{log}N({\rm{He}

Stellar pulsation and the abundance of helium

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1978
It has been suggested that the appearance of nonvariable stars within the Cepheid strip could be explained by a range in the helium abundance of Population I stars. In order to study this possibility, spectra were obtained of the main-sequence B stars in the galactic cluster NGC 129, which contains a nonvariable Cepheid-strip star, and M25, which ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

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.

Exploring the Milky Way stellar disk

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Elemental abundances in long-lived dwarf stars provide important constraints on the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk. While several large spectroscopic surveys provide abundances for vast stellar samples, small homogeneous samples remain ...

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Selecting a Photometric System for Gaia: C, N, O and Alpha-Process Elements

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
The sensitivity of stellar spectra to C, N, O and α-process element abundances is discussed with the aim of taking this effect into account when selecting a photometric system for the Gaia orbiting observatory.
