It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

I en ny långtidsstudie från Lunds universitet har forskare undersökt kopplingen mellan förändringar av beta-amyloid och tau i hjärnan. Två ämnen starkt kopplade till Alzheimers sjukdom. I studien som är publicerad i Science Advances tror forskarna att de har hittat svar som kan förklara en del av mekanismerna bakom sjukdomen. De båda proteinerna beta-amyloid och tau har betydelse för utvecklingen

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De
