Det hör inte till vanligheterna att invigningen av en toalett lockar ett hundra­tal åskådare. En sådan toalett måste vara riktigt speciell – och det är denna. Den spolas nämligen med regnvatten som samlas in från taket på Kemi­centrum. LUM har fått följa med på regnvattnets resa från tak till toalett. Vid en vanlig toalettspolning går det åt ungefär fem liter vatten. Vattnet som används är samma v

Through its extensive digitisation of older card catalogues, Lund University Library has made an unexpected discovery: a copy of astronomer Copernicus' famous work from the 16th century, which presents the theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The discovery was made possible thanks to the new full-text search in Catalogue-1957, which makes the library's older material much more accessible

De nya blodproven för att diagnostisera Alzheimers sjukdom ger allt bättre möjligheter till tidig diagnos, men en utmaning är att markörerna som mäts förändras långt innan symtom utvecklas. Forskning ledd från Lunds universitet visar nu att en tidigare inte använd blodmarkör kan, när den kombineras med dagens blodmarkörer, betydligt minska risken för att personer får missvisande besked om sjukdom.

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment", says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor at Lund University who led
