The TTC12-ANKK1-DRD2 gene-cluster has been implicated in adult smoking. Here, we investigated the contribution of individual genes in the TTC12-ANKK1-DRD2 cluster in smoking and their association with smoking-associated reward processing in adolescence. A meta-analysis of TTC12-ANKK1-DRD2 variants and self...

This is an Open Access article under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence Background: A third of deaths in the UK from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are in women. In men, national screening programmes reduce deaths from AAA and are cost-effective. The benefits, harms, and&#x...

To improve the mechanical and corrosion properties of Mg10Gd, Nd and La are added, and from that, the influence of precipitation hardening was studied. An increase in strength, by decreasing grain size and increasing the volume fraction of Rare Earth-rich precipitates, has been fou...

Underlying a cancer phenotype is a specific gene regulatory network that represents the complex regulatory relationships between genes. However, it remains a challenge to find cancer-related gene regulatory network because of insufficient sample sizes and complex regulatory mechanisms in which ge...

A search is presented for resonances decaying to a Z boson and a photon. The analysis is based on data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb −1 , and collected with the CMS detector at...

A search is presented for additional neutral Higgs bosons in the τ τ final state in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The search is performed in the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM), using the data collected with the CMS dete...

A search has been performed for heavy resonances decaying to ZZ or ZW in 2ℓ2q final states, with two charged leptons (ℓ = e, μ) produced by the decay of a Z boson, and two quarks produced by the decay of a W or Z boson. The analysis is sensitive t...
