Measuring the Temperature of Extremely Hot Shock-Heated Gas in the Major Merger MACS J0717.5+3745 With Relativistic Corrections to the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Mantz | Summary:The conversion of gravitational potential to kinetic energy results in an intracluster medium (ICM) gas with a characteristic temperature near 10 keV in the most massive galaxy clusters. X-ray observations, primarily from Chandra and XMM-Newton, have revealed a wealth of information about the thermodynamics of this gas. However, two regimes […]

Vascular endothelial-specific loss of TGF-beta signaling as a model for choroidal neovascularization and central nervous system vascular inflammation

Posted by dbos October 9, 2025October 20, 2025Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Yanshu Wang, Amir Rattner, Zhongming Li, Philip M Smallwood and Jeremy Nathans | Summary: In mice, postnatal endothelial cell (EC)-specific knockout of the genes coding for Transforming Growth Factor-Beta Receptor (TGFBR)1 and/or TGFBR2 eliminates TGF-beta signaling in vascular ECs and leads to distinctive central nervous system (CNS) vascular phenotypes.

Ingestion-activated CGRP neurons control learning but not satiety

Posted by dbos October 9, 2025August 31, 2026UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight | Authors: Brooke C Jarvie, Anagh Ravi, Rhea Nanavati, Longhui Qui, Truong Ly, Jun Y Oh, Olivia K Barnhill and Zachary A Knight | Summary: Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) neurons in the parabrachial nucleus are critical for sickness and malaise but have also been proposed to control non-aversive (rewarding) satiation. How […]

R2RGEN: Real-to-Real 3D Data Generation for Spatially Generalized Manipulation

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025October 20, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Xiuwei Xu, Xiuwei Xu, , , | Summary: Towards the aim of generalized robotic manipulation, spatial generalization is the most fundamental capability that requires the policy to work robustly under different spatial distribution of objects, environment and agent itself. To achieve this, substantial human demonstrations need to […]

Optimization of velocity receptor transduction in CAR T cells

Posted by dbos October 9, 2025June 24, 2026Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Xinyun Jiang, Vasco Queiroga, Eban A Hanna and Denis Wirtz | Summary: Limited infiltration capacity significantly limits the effectiveness of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells for solid tumors. We have recently developed a large family of highly modular synthetic cytokine receptors termed velocity receptors (VRs), capable of binding […]

Gluon splitting at small $x$: a unified derivation for the JIMWLK, DGLAP and CSS equations

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025October 20, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Paul Caucal, Paul Caucal, , , | Summary: We revisit the calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to dijet production in electron-ion collisions at small $x$. We focus on the back-to-back configuration where the relative transverse momentum $P_perp$ of the measured jets is much larger than […]
