Newly discovered memory cells suggest linked allergies
Researchers have long believed that only the adaptive immune system has a “memory” capable of regulating allergic reactions. But Itziar Martinez Gonzalez, a Wallenberg Academy Fellow at Karolinska Institutet, has discovered a memory function in cells in the innate immune system. They may explain the occurrence of multiple allergies that are otherwise unrelated.
New discovery paves the way for organic electronics
It is possible that future electronics will be composed entirely of organic materials that can conduct electricity. Wallenberg Academy Fellow Simone Fabiano has stumbled upon a completely novel approach – more or less by chance.
Building a platform to grow “minibrains” in the lab
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Maria Tenje wants to take a technological leap in the field of organs-on-a-chip.
Learning more about the brain
Marie Carlén says that she became a brain researcher by chance. She studies the cellular underpinnings of cognition and the biology underlying impaired cognition and behavior in neuropsychiatric disorders.
