TL;DR: Genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and the ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC) in the SpiroMeta consortium offers mechanistic insight into pulmonary function regulation and indicate potential targets for interventions to alleviate respiratory disease.
Abstract: Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) and the ratio of FEV(1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) in the SpiroMeta consortium (n = 20,288 individuals of European ancestry). We conducted a meta-analysis of top signals with data from direct genotyping (n < or = 32,184 additional individuals) and in silico summary association data from the CHARGE Consortium (n = 21,209) and the Health 2000 survey (n < or = 883). We confirmed the reported locus at 4q31 and identified associations with FEV(1) or FEV(1)/FVC and common variants at five additional loci: 2q35 in TNS1 (P = 1.11 x 10(-12)), 4q24 in GSTCD (2.18 x 10(-23)), 5q33 in HTR4 (P = 4.29 x 10(-9)), 6p21 in AGER (P = 3.07 x 10(-15)) and 15q23 in THSD4 (P = 7.24 x 10(-15)). mRNA analyses showed expression of TNS1, GSTCD, AGER, HTR4 and THSD4 in human lung tissue. These associations offer mechanistic insight into pulmonary function regulation and indicate potential targets for interventions to alleviate respiratory disease.

TL;DR: Several risk factors for both overweight and obesity in childhood are identifiable during infancy and future research needs to focus on whether it is clinically feasible for healthcare professionals to identify infants at greatest risk.
Abstract: Objective To determine risk factors for childhood
overweight that can be identified during the first year of
life to facilitate early identification and targeted
intervention.
Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Search strategy Electronic database search of
MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed and CAB Abstracts.
Eligibility criteria Prospective observational studies
following up children from birth for at least 2 years.
Results Thirty prospective studies were identified.
Significant and strong independent associations with
childhood overweight were identified for maternal prepregnancy
overweight, high infant birth weight and rapid
weight gain during the first year of life. Meta-analysis
comparing breastfed with non-breastfed infants found a
15% decrease (95% CI 0.74 to 0.99; I2=73.3%; n=10)
in the odds of childhood overweight. For children of
mothers smoking during pregnancy there was a 47%
increase (95% CI 1.26 to 1.73; I2=47.5%; n=7) in the
odds of childhood overweight. There was some evidence
associating early introduction of solid foods and childhood
overweight. There was conflicting evidence for duration of
breastfeeding, socioeconomic status at birth, parity and
maternal marital status at birth. No association with
childhood overweight was found for maternal age or
education at birth, maternal depression or infant ethnicity.
There was inconclusive evidence for delivery type,
gestational weight gain, maternal postpartum weight loss
and ‘fussy’ infant temperament due to the limited
number of studies.
Conclusions Several risk factors for both overweight
and obesity in childhood are identifiable during infancy.
Future research needs to focus on whether it is clinically
feasible for healthcare professionals to identify infants at
greatest risk.

TL;DR: The optical properties of InSe nanosheets differ qualitatively from those reported recently for exfoliated transition metal dichalcogenides and indicate a crossover from a direct to an indirect band gap semiconductor when the InSe flake thickness is reduced to a few nanometers.
Abstract: Strong quantization effects and tuneable near-infrared photoluminescence emission are reported in mechanically exfoliated crystals of γ-rhombohedral semiconducting InSe. The optical properties of InSe nanosheets differ qualitatively from those reported recently for exfoliated transition metal dichalcogenides and indicate a crossover from a direct to an indirect band gap semiconductor when the InSe flake thickness is reduced to a few nanometers.

TL;DR: The robust and tunable properties of GelMA hydrogel suggest that the keratinocyte laden hydrogels can be used as epidermal substitutes, wound dressings, or substrates to construct various in vitro skin models.
Abstract: Natural hydrogels are promising scaffolds to engineer epidermis. Currently, natural hydrogels used to support epidermal regeneration are mainly collagen- or gelatin-based, which mimic the natural dermal extracellular matrix but often suffer from insufficient and uncontrollable mechanical and degradation properties. In this study, a photocrosslinkable gelatin (i.e., gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA)) with tunable mechanical, degradation, and biological properties is used to engineer the epidermis for skin tissue engineering applications. The results reveal that the mechanical and degradation properties of the developed hydrogels can be readily modified by varying the hydrogel concentration, with elastic and compressive moduli tuned from a few kPa to a few hundred kPa, and the degradation times varied from a few days to several months. Additionally, hydrogels of all concentrations displayed excellent cell viability (>90%) with increasing cell adhesion and proliferation corresponding to increases in hydrogel concentrations. Furthermore, the hydrogels are found to support keratinocyte growth, differentiation, and stratification into a reconstructed multilayered epidermis with adequate barrier functions. The robust and tunable properties of GelMA hydrogels suggest that the keratinocyte laden hydrogels can be used as epidermal substitutes, wound dressings, or substrates to construct various in vitro skin models.
