Journal ArticleDOI

A variant associated with nicotine dependence, lung cancer and peripheral arterial disease.

TL;DR: A common variant in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene cluster on chromosome 15q24 with an effect on smoking quantity, ND and the risk of two smoking-related diseases in populations of European descent is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence variants at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus associate with many cancer types.

TL;DR: It is found that rs401681[C] on chromosome 5p15 satisfied the threshold for genome-wide significance and seems to confer protection against cutaneous melanoma, and investigation of the region led to rs2736098[A], which showed stronger association with some cancer types, but neither variant could fully account for the association of the other.

P2 Receptor Expression Profiles in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelial Cells.

TL;DR: P2X1, P2y2, and P2Y6 are the most expressed P2 receptors in SMC and are thus probably mediating the contractile and mitogenic actions of extracellular nucleotides, and are most likely mediating release of nitric oxide, endothelium-dependent hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), and t-PA induced by extrace cellular nucleotide.
