Forskare vid Lunds universitet har fått ett anslag på 23 miljoner från den amerikanska hälsomyndigheten NIH. Tillsammans med kollegor i USA och Finland ska de analysera 20 000 avföringsprover från barn. – Målet är att identifiera ett eller flera virus som kan utlösa en eventuell infektion som leder till att man får celiaki. I så fall kan man fundera på om celiaki går att vaccinera bort, säger Dani

För två år sedan startade POInT-studien i Sverige som ska undersöka om oralt insulin kan förhindra ett insjuknade i typ 1-diabetes. Nu har forskarna fullt fokus på att samla in och förbereda deltagarnas prover för analys. De första resultaten väntas först om några år. – Det ska bli spännande, säger Carina Törn, docent och laboratoriesamordnare på Lunds universitet. Parallellt med arbetet som labor

Överläkaren Daniel Agardh och hans kollegor forskar nu för att se om så kallade laktobaciller (probiotika) kan dämpa den autoimmuna inflammationen som leder till att barn drabbas av sjukdomar som typ 1-diabetes, glutenintolerans och sköldkörtelinflammation. – Det långsiktiga syftet är att vi vill hitta metoder som förhindrar uppkomsten av någon av dessa sjukdomar hos barn med ärftliga riskfaktorer

We are facing new challenges, and consequently we need the development of electronics to continue. But the question is: how do we do that? Mattias Borg, co-coordinator of Exploratory Nanotechnology, explains how. The basis of the electronics we use today, such as home computers and mobile phones, was invented more than 50 years ago. And in recent years its development has begun to stall. According
