Mice lacking histidine decarboxylase exhibit abnormal mast cells

…, N Hirasawa, E Sakurai, E Buzás, P Kovács… - FEBS …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) synthesizes histamine from histidine in mammals. To evaluate
the role of histamine, we generated HDC‐deficient mice using a gene targeting method. …

New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk

…, M Kivimaki, B Knight, S Koskinen, P Kovacs… - Nature …, 2010 - nature.com
Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic
traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for …

Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height

…, M Koiranen, I Kolcic, S Koskinen, P Kovacs… - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Most common human traits and diseases have a polygenic pattern of inheritance: DNA
sequence variants at many genetic loci influence the phenotype. Genome-wide association (GWA…

Variation in FTO contributes to childhood obesity and severe adult obesity

…, S Hercberg, C Le Stunff, P Bougnères, P Kovacs… - Nature …, 2007 - nature.com
We identified a set of SNPs in the first intron of the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated)
gene on chromosome 16q12.2 that is consistently strongly associated with early-onset and …

Genetics and epigenetics in obesity

…, M Keller, L la Cour Poulsen, M Blüher, P Kovacs… - Metabolism, 2019 - Elsevier
Obesity is among the most threatening health burdens worldwide and its prevalence has
markedly increased over the last decades. Obesity maybe considered a heritable trait. …

[HTML][HTML] Apoptotic brown adipocytes enhance energy expenditure via extracellular inosine

…, HK Eltzschig, T Gnad, M Blüher, N Krahmer, P Kovacs… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy 1 , 2 and promotes cardiometabolic health 3 .
Loss of BAT during obesity and ageing is a principal hurdle for BAT-centred obesity …

Large-scale migration into Britain during the Middle to Late Bronze Age

…, V Kiss, J Kleijne, M Knight, LM Kootker, PF Kovács… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Present-day people from England and Wales have more ancestry derived from early European
farmers (EEF) than did people of the Early Bronze Age 1. To understand this, here we …

LEMON–an open source C++ graph template library

B Dezső, A Jüttner, P Kovács - Electronic notes in theoretical computer …, 2011 - Elsevier
This paper introduces LEMON, a generic open source C++ library providing easy-to-use and
efficient implementations of graph and network algorithms and related data structures. The …

Large-scale cis- and trans-eQTL analyses identify thousands of genetic loci and polygenic scores that regulate blood gene expression

…, AW Hewitt, M Kähönen, Y Kim, JC Knight, P Kovacs… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Trait-associated genetic variants affect complex phenotypes primarily via regulatory mechanisms
on the transcriptome. To investigate the genetics of gene expression, we performed cis…

Decentralized signal control for urban road networks

T Le, P Kovács, N Walton, HL Vu, LLH Andrew… - … Research Part C …, 2015 - Elsevier
We propose in this paper a decentralized traffic signal control policy for urban road networks.
Our policy is an adaptation of a so-called BackPressure scheme which has been widely …
