Observations of Molecular CN toward S-type Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
S-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are defined by their carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio approaching unity.However, observations of circumstellar molecules in these stars are limited and challenging.In this study, we used the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope to search for cyanide (CN) in 12 Waterproof Bodywarmers selected S-type AGB stars, with on
Piwi Is Required to Limit Exhaustion of Aging Somatic Stem Cells
Sophisticated mechanisms that preserve genome integrity are critical to ensure the maintenance of regenerative capacity while preventing transformation of somatic stem cells (SCs), yet little is known about mechanisms regulating genome maintenance in these cells.Here, we show that intestinal stem cells (ISCs) Cards induce the Argonaute family prote
Solitary late metastasis of primary renal cell carcinoid tumor to the extraocular muscles imaged with indium-111 octreotide
A 75-year-old male presented with right eye pain and proptosis.His history was significant for renal cell carcinoma treated with left nephrectomy 2 years previously.Computed tomography (CT) imaging demonstrated a 1.6-cm enhancing Abrasive lesion in the right retrobulbar space.Surgical biopsy revealed a low-grade metastatic carcinoid tumor.At retros
