Comprehensive analytic formulae for stellar evolution as a function of mass and metallicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We present analytic formulae that approximate the evolution of stars for a wide range of mass M and metallicity Z. Stellar luminosity, radius and core mass are given as a function of age, M and Z, for all phases from the zero-age main sequence up to, and

Refining the NaV1.7 pharmacophore of a class of venom‐derived peptide inhibitors via a combination of in silico screening and rational engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Boron Abundances in Early B Dwarfs of the Galactic Open Cluster NGC 3293

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
New boron abundances or upper limits have been determined for eight early B stars in the young Galactic open cluster NGC 3293, using UV spectra obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.

Stellar evolution and stellar populations

open access: yes, 2019
I will overview how the theory of stellar evolution and stellar populations evolved to explain the rich features observed in large surveys of the Magellanic Clouds -- going from subtle features in colour-magnitude diagrams to striking sequences in period-magnitude diagrams.

Star Hoppers: Planet Instability and Capture in Evolving Binary Systems

open access: yes, 2012
Many planets are observed in stellar binary systems, and their frequency may be comparable to that of planetary systems around single stars. Binary stellar evolution in such systems influences the dynamical evolution of the resident planets.

New PARSEC evolutionary tracks of massive stars at low metallicity: testing canonical stellar evolution in nearby star-forming dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We extend the {\sl\,PARSEC} library of stellar evolutionary tracks by computing new models of massive stars, from 14\Msun to 350\Msun. The input physics is the same used in the {\sl\,PARSEC}~V1.1 version, but for the mass-loss rate which is included by ...

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Tracing the History of Obscured Star Formation with the SIMBA Cosmological Galaxy Evolution Simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We explore the cosmic evolution of the fraction of dust-obscured star formation predicted by the simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulations featuring an on-the-fly model for dust formation, evolution, and destruction.

Fuel Efficient Galaxies: Sustaining Star Formation with Stellar Mass Loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We examine the importance of secular stellar mass loss for fueling ongoing star formation in disk galaxies during the late stages of their evolution. For a galaxy of a given stellar mass, we calculate the total mass loss rate of its entire stellar population using star formation histories derived from the observed evolution of the M*-star formation ...

Mixed modes in red giants: a window on stellar evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Context. The detection of oscillations with a mixed character in subgiants and red giants allows us to probe the physical conditions in their cores. Aims. With these mixed modes, we aim at determining seismic markers of stellar evolution. Methods. Kepler
