Abstract BACKGROUND: The search to identify disease-susceptible genes requires access to biological material from numerous well-characterizedRead more

J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2011 May Bisgaard H, Pipper CB, Bønnelykke K. Abstract BACKGROUND: Asthmatic symptoms in young children reflect a heterogeneous group of diseases. Symptoms remain the primary end-point in both research and clinical management, but there is a need for standardized symptom assessment. OBJECTIVE: We sought to explore endotyping of early childhood asthmaRead more

Neuropharmacology. 2011 Jan Bisgaard H1, Larsen MA, Mazier S, Beuming T, Newman AH, Weinstein H, Shi L, Loland CJ, Gether U. Abstract Analogs of benztropines (BZTs) are potent inhibitors of the dopamine transporter (DAT) but are less effective than cocaine as behavioral stimulants. As a result, there have been efforts to evaluate these compounds asRead more

Environ Res. 2011 Jan Raaschou-Nielsen O, Sørensen M, Hertel O, Chawes BL, Vissing N, Bønnelykke K, Bisgaard H. Abstract BACKGROUND: Particulate matter (PM) in ambient air is responsible for adverse health effects in adults and children. Relatively little is known about the concentrations, sources and health effects of PM in indoor air. OBJECTIVE: To identifyRead more

Metab Brain Dis. 2010 Sep Eefsen M1, Jelnes P, Schmidt LE, Vainer B, Bisgaard HC, Larsen FS. Abstract Cerebral edema is a feared complication to acute liver failure (ALF), but the pathogenesis is still poorly understood. The water channels Aquaporin-1 (Aqp1) and -4 (Aqp4) has been associated with brain edema formation in several neuropathological conditions,Read more

Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2010 Sep Bønnelykke K1, Pipper CB, Tavendale R, Palmer CN, Bisgaard H. Abstract Copenhagen Prospective Study on Asthma in Childhood (COPSAC) was one of the discovery cohorts of the association between eczema and variants in the filaggrin coding gene (FLG). Here, we study the FLG-associated risk of asthma symptoms in early lifeRead more

J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010 Sep Bønnelykke K1, Pipper CB, Bisgaard H. Abstract BACKGROUND: IgE in cord blood is thought to be a product of the fetus. A high level of total IgE is therefore used as a measure of atopic propensity in the newborn. We recently found strong evidence that allergen-specific IgE in cordRead more
