Learning about the latitudinal distribution of starspots through the periodogram analysis of photometric data

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Starspots are cooler and darker than the stellar surface. Therefore, the emitted flux of a star changes when spots are visible on its surface. The presence of spots together with the stellar rotation leads to a periodic modulation on the light curve.

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

The nature and origin of disky elliptical galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The observational trend that disky elliptical galaxies exhibit younger luminosity- weighted ages than boxy ellipticals is investigated. The presence of a possible young stellar disk embedded in these galaxies is explored by comparing kinematics derived ...

Double-dipping to refine stellar rotation periods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We present a refined analysis of 15038 Kepler main sequence light curves to determine the stellar rotation periods. The initial period estimates come from an autocorrelation function, as has been done before.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

The TESS All-Sky Rotation Survey: Periods for 1,046,317 Stars within 500 pc

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Stellar rotation is a fundamental tracer of stellar magnetic evolution, age, and activity, with broad implications for Galactic archaeology and exoplanet characterization.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Differential Rotation of CoRoT Stars and a Kepler Binary Star from Starspot Transit Mapping

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
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.

Stellar Rotation and Age Determination

open access: yes, 2010
In this preliminary analysis we discuss on a statistical inversion method applied to the measured stellar Vrot sin i. Our goal is to obtain the Vrot of the cluster stars which is a key parameter of stellar evolution ...
