Genetic variation in the TLL1 gene is not associated with fibrosis in patients with metabolic associated fatty liver disease.

2020

Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease in Western nations, with high heritability. A recent study of Japanese patients with the disease suggested that TLL1 rs17047200 is associated with fibrosis; whether a similar association is observed in Caucasian patients with MAFLD is unknown. We investigated the association of the TLL1 rs17047200 polymorphism with liver fibrosis in a cohort of Caucasian patients with MAFLD (n = 728). We also investigated whether TLL1 expression is altered during liver injury in humans, in murine models of fibrosis, and in in-vitro. While TLL1 expression is upregulated in the liver of humans with MAFLD and in mice, the rs17…

Novel 2D boron nitride with optimal direct band gap: A theoretical prediction

2022

Abstract A novel structurally stable 2D-boron nitride material, namely di-BN, is predicted by means of the first-principles simulations. This monolayer BN system is composed of the azo (N-N) and diboron (B-B) groups. Its in-plane stiffness is close to the monolayer h-BN. Usually, the boron nitride materials are semiconductors with large band gaps. However, the monolayer di-BN possesses a moderate direct band gap of 1.622 eV obtained from our HSE06 calculation. Although the GW correction enlarges the band gap to 2.446 eV, this value is still in the range of the visible light. The detailed investigation of its band arrangement reveals that this material is able to product hydrogen molecules i…
