Antikroppar är kroppens superhjältar som känner igen och röjer undan sjukdomsframkallande ämnen. Genom att kombinera delar från antikroppar har forskare vid Lunds universitet designat en hybridantikropp som bättre stimulerar immunförsvaret mot både SARS-CoV-2-virus och streptokockbakterier. –  Hybridantikroppen är betydligt bättre än kroppens egna antikroppar på att bekämpa såväl streptokocker som

En studie från Lunds universitet visar att färre kvinnor och barn – de största riskgrupperna – insjuknat i celiaki de senaste åren. Resultaten tyder även på att det spelar roll var du bor. Risken att få sjukdomen verkar högre i mindre samhällen/småstäder än på landsbygd eller i större städer. Flest skåningar har insjuknat i sydvästra Skåne. Nu ska forskarna undersöka olika miljöfaktorers roll för
