(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05-09)Background and objective An adverse intrauterine environment may affect offspring growth and development. Our aim was to explore whether preeclampsia (PE) exposure in utero influences growth from birth to 13 years. Methods ... -
Exposure to styrene in the fiberglass reinforced plastic industry
(Master thesis, 2020-09-22)OBJECTIVE: To characterize exposure to airborne styrene and acetone among workers in the fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) industry. METHODS: Two full shift exposure measurements of airborne styrene and acetone were ... -
Exposure to Tobacco Smoke in Utero and Subsequent Plasma Lipids, ApoB, and CRP among Adult Women in the MoBa Cohort
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11)Background: Recent findings suggest that maternal smoking during pregnancy may play a role in the development of metabolic alterations in offspring during childhood. However, whether such exposure increases the risk of ... -
Exposures during the prepuberty period and future offspring's health: evidence from human cohort studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Emerging evidence suggests that exposures in prepuberty, particularly in fathers-to-be, may impact the phenotype of future offspring. Analyses of the RHINESSA cohort find that offspring of father’s exposed to tobacco smoking ... -
The expressed mutational landscape of microsatellite stable colorectal cancers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths with few patients benefiting from biomarker-guided therapy. Mutation expression is essential for accurate interpretation of mutations as ... -
Expression and effects of IL-1 and TNF-α in different experimental models of dental inflammation

Expression and purification of human neutrophil proteinase 3 from insect cells and characterization of ligand binding
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Neutrophil proteinase 3 (PR3) is an important drug target for inflammatory lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis. Drug discovery efforts targeting PR3 require active enzyme for in ... -
Expression and regulation of FRMD6 in mouse DRG neurons and spinal cord after nerve injury
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)FRMD6, a member of the group of FERM-domain proteins, is involved both in communication between cells, interactions with extracellular matrix, cellular apoptotic and regenerative mechanisms. FRMD6 was first discovered in ... -
Expression of 5-HT3 receptors and TTX resistant sodium channels (Nav1.8) on muscle nerve fibers in pain-free humans and patients with chronic myofascial temporomandibular disorders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-26)Background: Previous studies have shown that 5-HT3-antagonists reduce muscle pain, but there are no studies that have investigated the expression of 5-HT3-receptors in human muscles. Also, tetrodotoxin resistant voltage ... -
Expression of ANK3 moderates the association between childhood trauma and affective traits in severe mental disorders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Exposure to early life trauma increases the risk of psychopathology later in life. Here we investigated if ANK3 mRNA levels influence the relationship between childhood trauma experiences and clinical characteristics in ... -
The expression of B & T cell activation markers in children’s tonsils following live attenuated influenza vaccine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-06)Live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIV) can prevent influenza illness and death in children. The absence of known correlates of protection induced by LAIV requires human studies of underlying mechanisms of vaccine-induced ... -
