Evolution of Stellar Activity and Habitable Zone. II. Ca II H and K Emissions of Late-type Dwarfs

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Stellar chromospheric activity serves as a valuable proxy for estimating stellar ages, though its applicable range and accurate functional form are still debated.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS 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 ...

Metal Pipe: A Broadly Applicable Stellar Abundance Pipeline Using Isochronal Parameters

The Astrophysical Journal
Characterizing exoplanet host stars at the population level requires a method of homogeneously characterizing stellar properties across all spectral types.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

The Wind beneath My Wings. I. Spectral Types and Multiplicity of the Central Stars Supporting Stellar Bow Shock Nebulae

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2020
Abstract Arcuate mid-infrared nebulae known as stellar bow shock nebulae (SBNe) have been previously hypothesized to be supported by the strong stellar winds and/or luminosity of massive early-type stars. We present an optical spectroscopic survey of 84 stars identified from mid-infrared images as candidate SBN-supporting stars.

SPIDER. V. MEASURING SYSTEMATIC EFFECTS IN EARLY-TYPE GALAXY STELLAR MASSES FROM PHOTOMETRIC SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTION FITTING [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2011
We present robust statistical estimates of the accuracy of early-type galaxy stellar masses derived from spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting as functions of various empirical and theoretical assumptions. Using large samples consisting of {approx}40,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; ugriz), of which {approx}5000 are also in ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

The Uv Spectral Window: New Means To Constrain The Stellar Populations Of Early-Type Galaxies

, 2017
We discuss the possibilities of exploiting the UV spectral using the J-PAS survey to disentangle young contributions from apparently old galaxies. We show that the feasibility of determining such young stellar components in early-type galaxies at moderately high redshift.

The Evolution of Stellar X-Ray Activity and Angular Momentum as Seen by eROSITA, TESS, and Gaia

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We have assembled a sample of ∼8200 stars with spectral types F5V–M5V, all having directly measured X-ray luminosities from eROSITA and rotation periods from TESS and having empirically estimated ages via their membership in stellar clusters and groups ...
