JWST Imaging of Edge-on Protoplanetary Disks. IV. Mid-infrared Dust Scattering in the HH 30 Disk by Ryo Tazaki, François Ménard, Gaspard Duchêne, Marion Villenave, Álvaro Ribas, Karl R. Stapelfeldt, Marshall D. Perrin, Christophe Pinte, Schuyler G. Wolff, Deborah L. Padgett, Jie Ma, Laurine Martinien, Maxime Roumesy

“…By performing radiative transfer simulations, we show that grains of about 3 μ m in radius or larger are fully vertically mixed to explain the observed mid-IR scattered light flux and its morphology, whereas millimeter-sized grains are settled into a layer with a scale height of ≳1 au at 100 au from the central star. We also find a tension in the disk inclination angle inferred from optical/near-IR and millimeter observations, with the latter being closer to exactly edge-on. …”

Transcriptomic and Functional Landscape of Adult Human Spinal Cord NSPCs Compared to iPSC-Derived Neural Progenitor Cells by Sasi Kumar Jagadeesan, Ahmad Galuta, Ryan Vimukthi Sandarage, Eve Chung Tsai

“…The adult human spinal cord harbors diverse populations of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) essential for neuroregeneration and central nervous system repair. While induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived NSPCs offer significant therapeutic potential, understanding their molecular and functional alignment with bona fide spinal cord NSPCs is crucial for developing autologous cell therapies that enhance spinal cord regeneration and minimize immune rejection. …”
