Disentangling Sources of Momentum Fluctuations in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb Collisions with the ATLAS Detector.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Search for the Exclusive W Boson Hadronic Decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ with the ATLAS Detector.

A search for the exclusive hadronic decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ, and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ is performed using up to 140  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV. If observed, these rare processes would provide a unique test bench for the quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism used to calculate cross sections at colliders. Additionally, at future colliders, these decays could offer a new way to measure the W boson mass through fully reconstructed decay products.

Massive bowel resection modulates the expression of genes involved in lipid and cholesterol metabolism in rats.

We have previously shown that vitamin A-absorptive function was enhanced in bowel-resected rats via increased expression of cellular retinol-binding protein II (CRBP II). Recently, CRBP II was shown to bind not only to retinol but also to monoacylglycerols to modulate gut endocrine signaling. We hypothesized that the increased CRBP II in bowel-resected rats had broader effects than vitamin A metabolism.

[Undernutrition and sarcopenic obesity according to the GLIM criteria phenotype in elderly patients with diabetes].

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of malnutrition and sarcopenic obesity in elderly patients with diabetes according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) phenotypes.

Methods: The subjects were outpatients with diabetes who were ≥65 years of age and were managed at Ise Red Cross Hospital. Undernutrition was assessed and categorized into the following GLIM criteria phenotypes: (1) no undernutrition, (2) undernutrition (weight loss or low body mass index [BMI]/no low appendicular skeletal muscle mass index [ASMI]), (3) undernutrition (no weight loss or no low BMI/low ASMI), and (4) undernutrition (weight loss or low BMI/low ASMI).

Azolato-Bridged Dinuclear Platinum(II) Complexes Exhibit Androgen Receptor-Mediated Anti-Prostate Cancer Activity.

Prostate cancer is an androgen-dependent malignancy that presents a marked treatment challenge, particularly after progression to the castration-resistant stage. Traditional treatments such as androgen deprivation therapy often lead to resistance, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. Previous studies have indicated that some of the azolato-bridged dinuclear platinum(II) complexes (general formula: [{-Pt(NH)}(μ-OH)(μ-azolato)]X, where azolato = pyrazolato, 1,2,3-triazolato, or tetrazolato and X = nitrate or perchlorate) inhibit androgen receptor (AR) signaling.

FoxD1 expression identifies a distinct subset of hepatic stellate cells involved in liver fibrosis.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are pericytes of the liver responsible for liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, which are the end stages of chronic liver diseases. TGF-β activates HSCs, leading to the differentiation of myofibroblasts in the process of liver fibrosis. While the heterogeneity of HSCs is appreciated in the fibrotic liver, it remains elusive which HSC subsets mainly contribute to fibrosis.

Statistical Combination of ATLAS Run 2 Searches for Charginos and Neutralinos at the LHC.

Statistical combinations of searches for charginos and neutralinos using various decay channels are performed using 139  fb^{-1} of pp collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Searches targeting pure-wino chargino pair production, pure-wino chargino-neutralino production, or Higgsino production decaying via standard model W, Z, or h bosons are combined to extend the mass reach to the produced supersymmetric particles by 30-100 GeV. The depth of the sensitivity of the original searches is also improved by the combinations, lowering the 95% C.

Combination of Searches for Resonant Higgs Boson Pair Production Using pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector.

A combination of searches for a new resonance decaying into a Higgs boson pair is presented, using up to 139  fb^{-1} of pp collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The combination includes searches performed in three decay channels: bb[over ¯]bb[over ¯], bb[over ¯]τ^{+}τ^{-}, and bb[over ¯]γγ. No excess above the expected Standard Model background is observed and upper limits are set at the 95% confidence level on the production cross section of Higgs boson pairs originating from the decay of a narrow scalar resonance with mass in the range 251 GeV-5 TeV.

Search for Nearly Mass-Degenerate Higgsinos Using Low-Momentum Mildly Displaced Tracks in pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector.

Higgsinos with masses near the electroweak scale can solve the hierarchy problem and provide a dark matter candidate, while detecting them at the LHC remains challenging if their mass splitting is O(1  GeV). This Letter presents a novel search for nearly mass-degenerate Higgsinos in events with an energetic jet, missing transverse momentum, and a low-momentum track with a significant transverse impact parameter using 140  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment. For the first time since LEP, a range of mass splittings between the lightest charged and neutral Higgsinos from 0.

TIF1β activates leukemic transcriptional program in HSCs and promotes BCR::ABL1-induced myeloid leukemia.

TIF1β/KAP1/TRIM28, a chromatin modulator, both represses and activates the transcription of genes in normal and malignant cells. Analyses of datasets on leukemia patients revealed that the expression level of TIF1β was increased in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia at the blast crisis and acute myeloid leukemia. We generated a BCR::ABL1 conditional knock-in (KI) mouse model, which developed aggressive myeloid leukemia, and demonstrated that the deletion of the Tif1β gene inhibited the progression of myeloid leukemia and showed longer survival than that in BCR::ABL1 KI mice, suggesting that Tif1β drove the progression of BCR::ABL1-induced leukemia.

Study of High-Transverse-Momentum Higgs Boson Production in Association with a Vector Boson in the qqbb Final State with the ATLAS Detector.

This Letter presents the first study of Higgs boson production in association with a vector boson (V=W or Z) in the fully hadronic qqbb final state using data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137  fb^{-1}. The vector bosons and Higgs bosons are each reconstructed as large-radius jets and tagged using jet substructure techniques. Dedicated tagging algorithms exploiting b-tagging properties are used to identify jets consistent with Higgs bosons decaying into bb[over ¯].
