A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star

Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman, Daniel Bayliss, Elyar Sedaghati | Summary: Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mass. The discovery of giant planets […]

JIP4 deficiency causes a novel lysosome storage disease arising from impaired cystine efflux

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Layla M Nassar, xiaojian Shi, Agnes Roczniak-Ferguson, Hongying Shen and Shawn M Ferguson | Summary: Lysosomes break down macromolecules, clear cellular waste and recycle nutrients such as cystine. We describe a novel mechanism whereby JIP4 regulates lysosomal cystine storage by controlling the abundance of cystinosin (CTNS), the transporter responsible […]

Torsion Balance Experiments Enable Direct Detection of Sub-eV Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Shigeki Matsumoto, Jie Sheng, Chuan-Yang Xing, Lin Zhu, | Summary: Light dark matter with sub-eV masses has a high number density in our galaxy, and its scattering cross section with macroscopic objects can be significantly enhanced by coherence effects. Repeated scattering with a target object can induce […]
