A deep HST view of the open cluster NGC2158: Binaries, mass functions, and M-dwarf discontinuity

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
A significant fraction of stars in both the Galactic field and stellar clusters belong to binary systems. Understanding their properties is therefore fundamental for a comprehensive picture of stellar structure, stellar evolution, and cluster dynamics ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

A UKIDSS-based search for low-mass stars and small stellar clumps in off-cloud parts of young star-forming regions* **

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
The form and universality of the mass function of young and nearby star-forming regions is still under debate. Its relation to the stellar density, its mass peak and the dependency on most recent models shows significant differencies for the various ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

LAMOST Reveals Long-lived Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
While both observations and theories demonstrate that protoplanetary disks are not expected to live much longer than ∼10 Myr, several examples of prolonged disks have been observed in the past.

Disruption of Planetary System Architectures by Stellar Flybys

open access: yesUniverse
We investigate the survivability of solar system-like planetary systems during close encounters in stellar associations using a suite of 1980 N-body simulations.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

SPYGLASS. V. Spatially and Temporally Structured Star-forming Environments in the Cepheus-Hercules Complex

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Young associations record complete histories of star-forming events through their demographics and dynamics, and Gaia has greatly expanded our knowledge of these associations.
