In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganise themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can affect how the skin, lungs and tear film protect us from dehydration. This mechanism was studied in a paper by Nikol Labecka, Emma Sparr and co-workers recently published in PNAS.  Read the article about how lipid molecules reorganise drying interfacesLink to the article in

What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance.Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta duri

Solution viscosity is a key quantity for high concentration formulations of monoclonal antibodies suitable for subcutaneous injection. A dramatic increase of the viscosity with increasing antibody concentration is frequently observed, and charge effects are often believed to play a major role in this phenomenon. Unfortunately, our ability to successfully predict this for different antibodies based
