In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system c

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the link between exposure to PFAS and the development of asthma. The results show that among children whose mothers had very high levels of PFAS exposure during pregnancy, the risk of asthma was significantly higher than among children whose mothers had lower levels of PFAS exposure. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are
