The Advanced Spectral Library: The Evolution of Chromospheric Wind Characteristics from Noncoronal to Hybrid Giant Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph treasury program Advanced Spectral Library enables investigations of the characteristics and dynamics of the wind and chromosphere of cool stars using high-quality spectral data.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Thresholds for the Dust Driven Mass Loss from C-rich AGB Stars

open access: yes, 2007
It is well established that mass loss from AGB stars due to dust driven winds cannot be arbitrarily low. We model the mass loss from carbon rich AGB stars using detailed frequency-dependent radiation hydrodynamics including dust formation.

OB STARS AND STELLAR BOW SHOCKS IN CYGNUS-X: A NOVEL LABORATORY ESTIMATING STELLAR MASS LOSS RATES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We use mid-infrared images from the Spitzer Space Telescope Cygnus X Legacy Survey to search for stellar bow shocks (BSs), a signature of early-type “runaway” stars with high space velocities.

Biophysical analysis of angiotensin II and amyloid‐β cross‐interaction in aggregation and membrane disruption

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Angiotensin II (AngII), a neuropeptide, interacts with amyloid‐β (Aβ), a key player in Alzheimer's disease. This study reveals that AngII reduces Aβ aggregation and membrane disruption in vitro. Biophysical assays and molecular modeling suggest AngII binds disordered Aβ forms, potentially modulating early amyloidogenic events and contributing to ...

Evidence that Mass Loss on the Red Giant Branch Decreases with Metallicity

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Mass loss on the red giant branch (RGB) influences stellar evolution, properties of stellar populations, and Galactic chemical enrichment, yet remains poorly constrained observationally. Current models provide limited insight into how stellar properties,

Evolution of zero-metallicity massive stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We discuss the evolutionary properties of primordial massive and very massive stars, supposed to have formed from metal-free gas. Stellar models are presented over a large range of initial masses (8 Msun

Photosynthesis under far‐red light—evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light‐harvesting complexes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

The role of fibroblast growth factors in cell and cancer metabolism

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates crucial signaling cascades that promote cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Therefore, FGFs and their receptors are often dysregulated in human diseases, including cancer, to sustain proliferation and rewire metabolism.

Shooting for the Stars: Jet-mode Feedback and AGN Jet Deceleration from Stellar Mass Loading

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) jets are thought to be vital ingredients in galaxy evolution through the action of kinetic feedback; however, how narrow, relativistic outflows couple to galaxies remains an open question.
