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
