Development and evaluation of a polygenic risk score for lung cancer in never-smoking women: a large-scale prospective Chinese cohort study by Wei, X, Sun, D, Gao, J, Zhang, J, Zhu, M, Yu, C, Ma, Z, Fu, Y, Ji, C, Pei, P, Yang, L, Millwood, IY, Walters, RG, Chen, Y, Du, H, Jin, G, Chen, Z, Hu, Z, Li, L, Shen, H, Lv, J, Ma, H

“…Here, we developed a polygenic risk score (PRS), which may help to identify the population with higher risk of lung cancer in never-smoking women. We first performed a large GWAS meta-analysis (8595 cases and 8275 controls) to systematically identify the susceptibility loci for lung cancer in never-smoking Asian women and then generated a PRS using GWAS datasets. …”

Negative refraction in hyperbolic metamaterials by Mao, Tailai

Aluminium(I) anion-supported zero-valent palladium complexes by Yan, Chenting, Koshino, Kota, Zhu, Lizhao, Kinjo, Rei

“…Monovalent group 13 element anions, such as boryl [BR2]− and aluminyl [AlR2]− anions, serve as nucleophiles to form diverse group 13 element-containing molecules. Although transition-metal complexes bearing group 13 ligands are accessible via salt metathesis with these anions, zero-valent transition-metal complexes have never been reported. …”

Investigation of two dimensional floquet topological insulator using microwave network by Hu, Wenchao

“…They are “topologically distinct” from conventional insulators, because they are insulating in the bulk while supporting metallic states on surfaces. The most extraordinary physical property of certain classes of 2D topological insulators is the existence of uni-directional transmission along the edge, which is robust to imperfections and exhibits no back-reflection. …”
