Unknown memory cells offer potential for better vaccines
B cells in our immune system remember foreign substances and can quickly produce antibodies if reinfection occurs. But only a small portion of these cells are known. There are many more variants, and researchers in Lund, Gothenburg and Stockholm want to map them. Ultimately, the result could be better vaccines.
Versatile immune protein provides protection against diabetes
The immune defense protein C3 is considerably less well-researched within cells. There, Wallenberg Scholar Anna Blom has shown that C3 has entirely different roles, including as a protection against the development of diabetes.
Opening the gateway to AI in mobile networks
Erik G. Larsson is heading a research project funded by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation in which four teams are collaborating on a new approach to the way communication takes place via wireless networks.
Using an old method to understand chronic pain
Further development of a 60-year-old technique for measuring nerve pain may lead to a better understanding of fibromyalgia, rheumatism and migraine. Wallenberg Clinical Scholar Håkan Olausson is one of the few who have mastered the technique.
