Abstract: Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality. Genetic variation contributes to initiation, regular smoking, nicotine dependence, and cessation. We present a Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND)-based genome-wide association study in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2201460119
Abstract: Significance Fusobacterium nucleatum is an abundant member of the oral microbiome that can spread throughout the body and colonize secondary sites, including cancer tissues, where it promotes tumor progression. Understanding how F. nucleatum adapts to… read more here.
