GWAS for lung function with adjustment for exhaled nitric oxide levels as airway inflammation indicator
We performed a GWAS for lung function with adjustment for exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels to account for type 2 airway inflammation. Our study identified the genetic locus most strongly associated with airway obstruction in the Japanese population and new genetic loci associated with FeNO.
An Unlikely Tale: How a Paper on Hemostasis, Puncture Wounds and Platelets Came from a Team Led by Ph.D.s in Physics and Biochemistry
Puncture wounds and how platelet leads to bleeding cessation is not normally thought of as problem in cell and developmental biology. Here a team trained in physics and biochemistry take exactly that approach to thrombus structure and how that leads to bleeding cessation in ta jugular wound.
