Lack of association between neuropeptide S receptor 1 gene (NPSR1) and eczema in five European populations (Publications)
Eczema is often associated with development of allergic asthma. The Neuropeptide S Receptor 1 (NPSR1) gene has previously been associated with asthma and elevated serum IgE levels. The aim of this stu
Analysis of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections in a village community in Northern Nigeria: determination of msp2 genotypes and parasitespecific... (Publications)
The genetic diversity of P. falciparum and multiplicity of infection has been studied in a village in Northern Nigeria at the end of the rainy season, when transmission is high. We analysed blood samp
Population-based study on incidence, survival rates, and genetic alterations of low-grade diffuse astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas (Publications)
We carried out a population-based study on low-grade diffuse gliomas in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland (population 1.16 million). From 1980 to 1994, 987 astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors were
Nanomimics of host cell membranes block invasion and expose invasive malaria parasites (Publications)
The fight against most infectious diseases, including malaria, is often hampered by the emergence of drug resistance and lack or limited efficacies of vaccines. Therefore, new drugs, vaccines, or othe
