“…In addition, we report that VitC treatment of HCT116 cells induces 5hmC foci biogenesis and triggers 5hmC marks to form active complexes with nuclear body components, including both Cajal and PML proteins. Our data highlight novel NB-concentrating TET1 in CRC cells and demonstrate that VitC modulates TET1-NBs’ interactions with other nuclear structures. …”

Sources and Radiations of the Fermi Bubbles by Vladimir A. Dogiel, Chung-Ming Ko

“…A decade or so ago, a phenomenological model of the FBs was suggested as a result of routine star disruptions by the supermassive black hole in the GC which might provide enough energy for large-scale structures, like the FBs. In 2020, analytical and numerical models of the FBs as a process of routine tidal disruption of stars near the GC were developed; these disruption events can provide enough cumulative energy to form and maintain large-scale structures like the FBs. …”
