At the end of March, the first cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children were reported in the UK. Since then, the number has increased to more than 300 in around 20 countries; there are now reports of nine suspected cases in Sweden. The acute liver infection mainly affects otherwise completely healthy children under the age of 16, which puzzles researchers who are now searching

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

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

Life can feel a little overwhelming in the times we live where society is less homogenous, and individualism prevails although many of our challenges require cooperation between different interests, ideologies, and countries. Human beings need to feel meaning, hope and motivation to overcome difficulties and to find new solutions. Therefore, we need to understand more about existential sustainabil

Genom analys av övervakningsdata har ett forskarlag studerat hur de senaste 40 årens klimatförändringar påverkat 1 500 djur- och växtarter i Finland. Det visade sig att stigande temperaturer och kortvarigare snötäcke under vintrarna har fått hundratals arter att anpassa sig till nya klimatförhållanden, varav vissa har flyttat norrut. Finland är känt för sitt omfattande övervakningsprogram för fågl

When everyday life is not recognisable, when conversation is silenced, when memories disappear. Alzheimer’s disease is contracted by 60 000 people in Sweden annually and accounts for 60 per cent of all types of dementia disease. There is no cure, but research has come a long way in diagnosing the disease at an early stage. “Over the past ten years there has been a revolution concerning our possibi
