MET variants in the N‐lobe of the kinase domain, found in hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma, require ligand stimulation to promote cell transformation, in contrast to other RTK variants. This suggests that HGF expression in the microenvironment is important for tumor growth in such patients. Their sensitivity to MET inhibitors opens the way for

In this work the latitude dependent stellar spot rotation is investigated based on dynamo models. The maps of the magnetic pressure at the surface from the dynamo calculations are treated similarly to the temperature maps obtained using Doppler imaging ...

This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

The Directly Imaged Exoplanet Host Star 51 Eridani is a Gamma Doradus Pulsator
51 Eri is well known for hosting a directly imaged giant planet and for its membership to the β Pictoris moving group. Using 2 minute cadence photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we detect multiperiodic variability in 51 Eri ...

Studying Stellar Rotation and Convection [PDF]
Based on the lecture notes of a school titled "Tides in Astronomy and Astrophysics" that brought together students and researchers, this book focuses on the fundamental theories of tides at different scales of the universe - from tiny satellites to whole galaxies - and on the most recent developments.

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Differential Rotation of CoRoT Stars and a Kepler Binary Star from Starspot Transit Mapping
While direct magnetic field measurements are rare for slowly rotating stars, spots observed during planetary transits provide a potential indicator of magnetic activity on stellar surfaces.

Kepler main-sequence solar-like stars: surface rotation and magnetic-activity evolution
While the mission’s primary goal was focused on exoplanet detection and characterization, Kepler made and continues to make extraordinary advances in stellar physics. Stellar rotation and magnetic activity are no exceptions.

Photometric magnetic-activity metrics tested with the Sun: application to Kepler M dwarfs
The Kepler mission has been providing high-quality photometric data leading to many breakthroughs in the exoplanet search and in stellar physics. Stellar magnetic activity results from the interaction between rotation, convection, and magnetic field ...
