At low energies nucleon-nucleon interactions are resonant and therefore supernova matter at subnuclear densities has many similarities to atomic gases with interactions dominated by a Feshbach resonance. We calculate the rates of neutrino processes involving nucleon-nucleon collisions and show that these are enhanced in mixtures of neutrons and protons at subnuclear densities due to the large scattering lengths. As a result, the rate for neutrino pair bremsstrahlung and absorption is significantly larger below 10(13) g cm(-3) compared to rates used in supernova simulations.

Glitches in Rotating Supersolids.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2023

INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, 67100 Assergi (AQ), Italy.

Glitches, spin-up events in neutron stars, are of prime interest, as they reveal properties of nuclear matter at subnuclear densities. We numerically investigate the glitch mechanism due to vortex unpinning using analogies between neutron stars and dipolar supersolids. We explore the vortex and crystal dynamics during a glitch and its dependence on the supersolid quality, providing a tool to study glitches from different radial depths of a neutron star.

Investigation of nuclear lamina architecture relies on superresolved microscopy. However, epitope accessibility, labeling density, and detection precision of individual molecules pose challenges within the molecularly crowded nucleus. We developed iterative indirect immunofluorescence (IT-IF) staining approach combined with expansion microscopy (ExM) and structured illumination microscopy to improve superresolution microscopy of subnuclear nanostructures like lamins.

Disruption of polyhomeotic polymerization decreases nucleosome occupancy and alters genome accessibility.

Chromatin attains its three-dimensional (3D) conformation by establishing contacts between different noncontiguous regions. Sterile Alpha Motif (SAM)-mediated polymerization of the polyhomeotic (PH) protein regulates subnuclear clustering of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and chromatin topology. The mutations that perturb the ability of the PH to polymerize, disrupt long-range chromatin contacts, alter Hox gene expression, and lead to developmental defects.

Keratoameloblastoma: A Report of Seven New Cases and Review of Literature.

Department of Oral Pathology and Oral Biology, School of Dentistry, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa.

Background: Keratoameloblastoma (KA) is an uncommon and controversial variant of ameloblastoma exhibiting central keratinisation. Due to their rarity, there is limited information in the literature on their clinical, radiologic and histologic features. This study adds seven additional cases of KA to the literature, and reviews the current published literature on this rare entity.

High-depth spatial transcriptome analysis by photo-isolation chemistry.

Nat Commun

July 2021

Division of Transcriptomics, Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.

In multicellular organisms, expression profiling in spatially defined regions is crucial to elucidate cell interactions and functions. Here, we establish a transcriptome profiling method coupled with photo-isolation chemistry (PIC) that allows the determination of expression profiles specifically from photo-irradiated regions of interest. PIC uses photo-caged oligodeoxynucleotides for in situ reverse transcription.
