    Rapid contraction of giant planets orbiting the 20-million-year-old star V1298 Tau

    Current theories of planetary evolution predict that infant giant planets have large radii and very low densities before they slowly contract to reach their final size after about several hundred million years1,2

    A plague of magnetic spots among the hot stars of globular clusters

    For more than six decades, the quest to understand the formation of hot (about 20,000−30,000 K) extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars in Galactic globular clusters has remained one of the most elusive in stell...

    Degradation of mutant p53H175 protein by Zn(II) through autophagy

    TP53, one of the most important oncosuppressors, is frequently mutated in cancer. Several p53 mutant proteins escape proteolytic degradation and are highly expressed in an aberrant conformation often acquiring pr...
