Journal ArticleDOI
Substance abuse and the risk of severe COVID-19: Mendelian randomization confirms the causal role of opioids but hints a negative causal effect for cannabinoids
TL;DR: This paper investigated the causal relationship between substance abuse and medication-taking history (as a proxy trait for comorbidities) with the risk of severe COVID-19 adverse outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmonic properties of Ag@TiO_2 nanostructures improve the graphitization of polyacrylonitrile and the mechanism
Zhengdong D. Zhang,Y. Bai,Xinru Li,Tao Ouyang,Yuwei Yan,Nan Sun,Jianqi Liu,Xiaoming Cai,Jinming Cai,Hong Ling Tan +9 more
TL;DR: The results of optical and electrochemical measurements indicated that Ag@TiO_2 nanoparticle composite structure can expand the light response area and improve the efficiency of hot electron-hole pair separation, which exhibit outstanding effect on catalyzing the graphitization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: It is suggested that genetic modifiers of CHD in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome may be in the TBX1 gene network, which is a rare disorder with relative genetic homogeneity that can facilitate identification of genetic modifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unravelling genetic components of longevity
TL;DR: The authors used an analysis framework for isolating the shared genetic component in GWAS of aging-related traits, and identified genomic loci that contribute to longevity, which is a common genetic component.
