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

Kan glutenfri kost under de första levnadsåren förhindra att barn utvecklar celiaki? Eller kan probiotika hejda immunförsvarets reaktion mot gluten? Det försöker forskarna få svar på.

Är det något du undrar över, fråga oss! Kan jag vaccinera mig mot covid-19 när jag ammar?Svar: Amning utgör inget hinder för vaccination.Det är okänt om vaccinerna går ut i bröstmjölk. Det finns det ingen anledning att tro att vaccinet skulle ge några biverkningar hos barnet som ammas.Källa: LäkemedelsverketVarför är det så stort fokus på d-vitamin?

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

The voices of the survivors make clear how incredibly fragile a democracy is; how quickly the moral foundations of a society can crumble and make the unthinkable possible,” says Erik Renström, Vice-Chancellor of Lund University.
