Spinal cord injury triggers irreversible loss of motor and sensory functions. Numerous strategies aiming at repairing the injured spinal have been studied. Among them, use bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is promising. Indeed, these possess interesting properties to modulate CNS environment allow axon regeneration functional recovery. Unfortunately, BMSC survival differentiation within host remain poor, found various adverse effects when grafted in other pathological...

Earth-like, potentially habitable exoplanets are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life. Information about their atmosphere and surface can be derived by analyzing light of parent star reflected planet. We investigate influence albedo $A_{\rm s}$, optical thickness $b_{\rm cloud}$ altitude water clouds, mixing ratio $\eta$ biosignature O$_2$ on strength A-band (around 760 nm) flux polarization spectra starlight Earth-like exoplanets. Our computations horizontally homogeneous...

They play crucial roles a planet's atmosphere and climate can also create ambiguities the determination of atmospheric parameters such as trace gas mixing ratios. Knowledge cloud properties is required when assessing habitability planet.

PyMieDAP (the Python Mie Doubling-Adding Programme) is a Python--based tool for computing the total, linearly, and circularly polarized fluxes of incident unpolarized sun- or starlight that reflected by, respectively, Solar System planets moons, exoplanets at range wavelengths. The radiative transfer computations are based on an adding--doubling Fortran algorithm fully include polarization all orders scattering. model (exo)planets described by atmosphere composed stack homogeneous layers...

Abstract The deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratio is commonly used investigate the history of water on Mars, yet mechanisms controlling present‐day HDO behavior are poorly understood. Significant variations D/H were first predicted basis a 3D global climate model, which later confirmed by ground‐based observations. This behavior, consisting lower HDO/H 2 O ratios in colder regions related isotopic fractionation occurring at condensation. We leverage this previous effort and present an updated...

The circular polarization of light that planets reflect is often neglected because it very small compared to the linear polarization. It could, however, provide information on a planet's atmosphere and surface, presence life, homochiral molecules are building blocks life Earth known circularly polarized light. We compute $P_c$, degree polarization, for reflected by rocky (exo)planets with liquid water or sulfuric acid solution clouds, both spatially resolved across planetary disk and, patchy...

Terrestrial exoplanets in habitable zones are ubiquitous. It is, however, unknown which have Earth-like or Venus-like climates. Distinguishing different planet-types is crucial for determining whether a planet could be habitable.

The polarization state of starlight reflected by a planetary atmosphere uniquely reveals coverage, particle size, and composition aerosols as well changing cloud patterns. It is not possible to obtain comparable level detailed from flux-only observations. Furthermore, observations can probe the planets independently orbital geometry (i.e., transiting non-transiting planets).
