A joint study by Wroclaw Medical University and Duke University School of Medicine, published in the European Journal of Heart Failure, shows that faster lymph flow in the legs is linked to a better response to diuretics in patients with acute heart failure. Using indocyanine green lymphography, researchers demonstrated that efficient lymphatic drainage supports fluid removal and may determine treatment success. The findings position the lymphatic system as a potential new therapeutic target in managing heart failure.

Recently, a team of Estonian scientists published a study that may revolutionize how we analyze fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements and address one of the major weaknesses in this approach. They used powerful computational tools originally built for artificial intelligence, but instead of relying on AI's "black box" methods, they applied these tools to optimize transparent, physics-based models.
