Pollen-derived lipids promote pro-allergic immune responses
Demonstrates that pollen-derived lipids, in addition to protein allergens, actively promote pro-allergic immune responses, highlighting the biological complexity of pollen exposure and its relevance for allergic disease.
Airborne DNA and molecular methods in aerobiology
Reviews current molecular approaches for detecting airborne biological material, including pollen, fungi, bacteria, and viruses, and discusses challenges and future directions for integrating molecular data into aerobiological monitoring.
Outdoor airborne allergens: behavior and monitoring in Europe
Provides an overview of the properties, dynamics, and monitoring of outdoor airborne allergens in Europe, linking aerobiological observations with environmental drivers and health relevance.
European pollen reanalysis dataset (1980–2022)
Presents a harmonized long-term reanalysis of pollen concentrations across Europe, providing a robust dataset for studying trends, climate influences, exposure patterns, and supporting improved pollen forecasting.
Airborne pollen exposure and population-level respiratory health
Reports a correlation between airborne pollen concentrations and increased SARS-CoV-2 infection rates, highlighting the broader relevance of pollen exposure for respiratory health at the population level.
Satellite data and modelling of fungal spore exposure
Shows how satellite observations and atmospheric transport modelling can be combined to explain peak concentrations of airborne fungal spores, highlighting the role of local agricultural activity in exposure events.
Lipid mediators from grass pollen in allergic inflammation
Demonstrates that lipid mediators released from grass pollen contribute to the effector phase of allergic responses and shape immune cell activation, linking molecular mechanisms with allergenic pollen exposure.

Pollenbuster: a public-facing tool for pollen allergy research
The Pollenbuster outreach project was featured in Swedish media in 2025 as an innovative and accessible way to explain pollen monitoring and allergenic exposure, linking aerobiological research with everyday experiences of allergy sufferers.
Media outreach on pollen monitoring and allergen exposure
Through national and regional Swedish media coverage, the Pollenbuster project communicated current aerobiological research, highlighting the limitations of pollen counts alone and the need for biologically relevant measures of allergenic exposure.
Public engagement in aerobiology and pollen allergy research
Media features on the Pollenbuster initiative in 2025 showcased how creative science communication can increase public understanding of pollen allergy research and support dialogue between researchers, health services, and the general public.
