Age-related bone loss is associated with FGF21 but not IGFBP1 in healthy adults by Lee, Shuen Yee, Fam, Kai Deng, Chia, Kar Ling, Yap, Margaret M. C., Goh, Jorming, Yeo, Kwee Poo, Yap, Eric Peng Huat, Chotirmall, Sanjay Haresh, Lim, Chin Leong

“…The IGFBP1 concentration was not correlated with BMD at the hip or spine (all P > 0.05). In humans, FGF21 might be involved in the age-associated decline in BMD, especially at the spine, through increased bone turnover. …”

Valley-optical absorption in planar transition metal dichalcogenide superlattices by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Rezaei, B., Liu, Zheng

“…By calculating the effective mass for different bands and using the Drude-Lorentz model, our approach is able to determine the oscillator strength and the effective refractive index of the structure. We found that the spin-orbit coupling has important effect on the absorption coefficient and energy bands where it reduces the absorption coefficient of the structure from typical value of [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], also the valence band experiences a significant blue shift, while the conduction band shows minor changes due to spin orbit coupling. …”
