Socioeconomic Inequalities in Smoking and Smoking Cessation Due to a Smoking Ban: General Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study in Luxembourg by Anastase Tchicaya (2622412)

“…Smoking cessation in daily smokers due to the 2006 smoking ban was associated with education level, employment status, and income, with higher percentages of quitters among those with a lower socioeconomic status. The decrease in smoking prevalence after the 2006 law was also associated with a reduction in socioeconomic inequalities, including differences in education level, income, and employment status. …”

A structural variant in the 5’-flanking region of the <i>TWIST2</i> gene affects melanocyte development in belted cattle by Nivedita Awasthi Mishra (4179457)

“…Functional studies showed that ectopic expression of bovine <i>TWIST2</i> in neural crest in transgenic zebrafish led to a decrease in melanocyte numbers. Our results thus implicate an unsuspected involvement of TWIST2 in regulating pigmentation and reveal a non-coding CNV underlying a captivating Mendelian character.…”
