  • Infant nutrition and health
  • Neonatal health and biochemistry
  • Clinical nutrition and gastroenterology
  • Sphingolipid metabolism and signaling
  • Immune cell function and interaction
  • Calcium signaling and nucleotide metabolism

Among their recent publications are two notable papers:

  • "Digestion and Absorption of Milk Phospholipids in Newborns and Adults" published in 2021 in Frontiers in Nutrition
  • "Alkaline sphingomyelinase (NPP7) impacts the homeostasis of intestinal T lymphocyte populations" published in 2023 in Frontiers in Immunology

These works reflect their interdisciplinary approach, combining aspects of nutrition science, immunology, and molecular biology.

Åke Nilsson frequently collaborates with other researchers including Rui-Dong Duan, Lena Ohlsson, Manar Alyamani, Mohammad Kadivar, and Jonas S. Erjefält. This network suggests active engagement in multidisciplinary research projects.

The scientist has contributed to forums such as Frontiers in Nutrition and Frontiers in Immunology, indicating a publication record in specialized journals that bridge nutrition and immune system research.
