sunbeds. This corresponds to a UV index of 13, which is significantly higher than the UV index of 8.5 of the high summer sun at noon at intermediate latitudes. The measurements were spread over the whole
Genomic and phenotypic insights from an atlas of genetic effects on DNA methylation (Publications)
DNAm at 420,509 DNAm sites in blood. We present a database of > 270,000 independent mQTLs, of which 8.5% comprise long-range (trans) associations. Identified mQTL associations explain 15-17% of the additive

A novel isoflavan-4-ol (pumilanol), (rel)-3 beta-(2'-hydroxy-4',5'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-6-methoxy-4 alpha,7-dihydroxybenzo-3,4-dihydropyran (1) and two known flavonoids, tephrinone (2) and rotenone (3)
Antituberculotic and antiprotozoal activities of primin, a natural benzoquinone: in vitro and in vivo studies (Publications)
Primin (=2-methoxy-6-pentylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione), a natural benzoquinone synthesized in our laboratory, was investigated for its in vitro antiprotozoal, antimycobacterial, and cytotoxic potential
Comparison of weather station and climate reanalysis data for modelling temperature-related mortality (Publications)
against traditional station-based data. Our findings show that reanalysis temperature from the last ERA5 products generally compare well to station observations, with similar non-optimal temperature-related
Complement factor D, albumin, and immunoglobulin G anti-band 3 protein antibodies mimic serum in promoting rosetting of malaria-infected red blood... (Publications)
Complement factor D alone induced 30 to 40% of de novo rosetting. Its effect was additive to that of 0.5 mg/ml albumin and to that of 15 ng/ml of naturally occurring antibodies to the anion transport protein
