X-chromosome and kidney function: evidence from a multi-trait genetic analysis of 908,697 individuals reveals sex-specific and sex-differential findings in genes regulated by androgen response elements

Abstract X-chromosomal genetic variants are understudied but can yield valuable insights into sexually dimorphic human traits and diseases.We performed a sex-stratified cross-ancestry X-chromosome-wide here association meta-analysis of seven kidney-related traits (n = 908,697), identifying 23 loci genome-wide significantly associated with two of th

Effect of Nanoscale Carbon Black, Ammonium Polyphosphate, and Microcrystalline Cellulose on Properties of Polypropylene Composites

The effects of nano-sized carbon black (CB), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were tested relative to the mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP)-based composites.Composites were produced by injection molding in nine different combinations by adding materials at the levels of 0% or 10% MCC, 0% skull
