Stellar Coronal and Wind Models: Impact on Exoplanets
Surface magnetism is believed to be the main driver of coronal heating and
stellar wind acceleration. Coronae are believed to be formed by plasma confined
in closed magnetic coronal loops of the stars, with winds mainly originating in
open magnetic field line regions. In this Chapter, we review some basic
properties of stellar coronae and winds and present some existing models. In
the last part of this Chapter, we discuss the effects of coronal winds on
exoplanets.Comment: Chapter published in the "Handbook of Exoplanets", Editors in Chief:

The chicken chorioallantoic membrane model in biology, medicine and bioengineering
The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a simple, highly vascularized extraembryonic membrane, which performs multiple functions during embryonic development, including but not restricted to gas exchange. Over the last two decades, interest in the CAM as a robust experimental platform to study blood vessels has been shared by specialists working in bioengineering, development, morphology, biochemistry, transplant biology, cancer research and drug development. The tissue composition and accessibility of the CAM for experimental manipulation, makes it an attractive preclinical in vivo model for drug screening and/or for studies of vascular growth. In this article we provide a detailed review of the use of the CAM to study vascular biology and response of blood vessels to a variety of agonists. We also present distinct cultivation protocols discussing their advantages and limitations and provide a summarized update on the use of the CAM in vascular imaging, drug delivery, pharmacokinetics and toxicology
