We have detected the 10 μm silicate feature and the 11.3 μm crystalline forsterite feature in absorption in 21 oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in the Galactic bulge. The depths of the 10 μm feature indicate highly obscured circumstellar env... Read More about Equatorial Enhancement in the Dustiest OH/IR Stars in the Galactic Bulge.

Bacterial polysaccharide lyase family 33: Specificity from an evolutionarily conserved binding tunnel (2025)
Journal Article

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 122(7), e2421623122. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2421623122

Acidic glycans are essential for the biology of multicellular eukaryotes. To utilize them, microbial life including symbionts and pathogens has evolved polysaccharide lyases (PL) that cleave their 1,4 glycosidic linkages via a β-elimination mechanism...

Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common cause of low back pain, and the most symptomatic patients with neural compression need surgical intervention to relieve symptoms. Current techniques used to diagnose IVD degeneration, suc...

Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, https://doi.org/10.1177/13684302241309539

The stigma faced by gender and sexual minorities varies across countries. How does stigma relate to collective action for social change? We propose a curvilinear link (i.e., an inverted U-curve) between stigma and collective action such that increase...
