Fast radio bursts as standard candles for cosmology

Recently, fast radio bursts (FRBs) have become a thriving field in astronomy and cosmology.Due to their extragalactic and cosmological origin, they are useful to study the cosmic expansion and the intergalactic medium (IGM).In the literature, the dispersion measure (DM) of FRB has been considered extensively.It could be used as an indirect proxy of

The NTCP p.Ser267Phe Variant Is Associated With a Faster Anti-HBV Effect on First-Line Nucleos(t)ide Analog Treatment

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) acts as a cellular receptor for the hepatitis B virus infection of host hepatocytes.Previously, many studies confirmed that the NTCP p.Ser267Phe variant was a protective factor against HBV-related disease progression.We therefore designed this study to investigate whether the NTCP p.Ser267Phe va
