arXiv:2603.27875v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work follows from a previous study on the estimation of an initial distribution of telomere length from a senescence times distribution done in [10.1051/m2an/2026022, J. Olay{\'e}]. In this previous study, we have presented an estimation method based on the fact that our telomere shortening model can be approximated by a transport equation. This method has encouraging results, but fails to provide a good estimation when the variability of the initial telomere length distribution is too small. We improve here this method by approximating our model with an advection-diffusion equation, which allows us to better take into account the randomness of the shortening values. We show that under this approximation, there exists a simple link between the Laplace transform of the initial telomere length distribution and that of the senescence times distribution. Then, by using a numerical method for inverting Laplace transforms called

arXiv:2603.28589v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous systems that generate scientific hypotheses, conduct experiments, and draft manuscripts have recently emerged as a promising paradigm for accelerating discovery. However, existing AI Scientists remain largely domain-agnostic, limiting their applicability to clinical medicine, where research is required to be grounded in medical evidence with specialized data modalities. In this work, we introduce Medical AI Scientist, the first autonomous research framework tailored to clinical autonomous research. It enables clinically grounded ideation by transforming extensively surveyed literature into actionable evidence through clinician-engineer co-reasoning mechanism, which improves the traceability of generated research ideas. It further facilitates evidence-grounded manuscript drafting guided by structured medical compositional conventions and ethical policies. The framework operates under 3 research modes, namely paper-based

arXiv:2603.28540v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical device regulators in the United States(FDA), China (NMPA), and Europe (EU MDR) all use the language of risk, but classify devices through structurally different mechanisms. Whether these apparently shared concepts carry transferable classificatory signal across jurisdictions remains unclear. We test this by reframing explainable AI as an empirical probe of cross-jurisdictional regulatory overlap. Using 141,942 device records, we derive seven EU MDR risk factors, including implantability, invasiveness, and duration of use, and evaluate their contribution across a three-by-three transfer matrix. Under a symmetric extraction pipeline designed to remove jurisdiction-specific advantages, factor contribution is negligible in all jurisdictions, indicating that clean cross-jurisdictional signal is at most marginal. Under jurisdiction specific pipelines, a modest gain appears only in the EU MDR-to-NMPA direction, but sensitivity analyses

arXiv:2603.28057v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning (DL) models have achieved strong performance in an intelligence healthcare setting, yet most existing approaches operate as black boxes and ignore the physical processes that govern tumor growth, limiting interpretability, robustness, and clinical trust. To address this limitation, we propose PhysNet, a physics-embedded DL framework that integrates tumor growth dynamics directly into the feature learning process of a convolutional neural network (CNN). Unlike conventional physics-informed methods that impose physical constraints only at the output level, PhysNet embeds a reaction diffusion model of tumor growth within intermediate feature representations of a ResNet backbone. The architecture jointly performs multi-class tumor classification while learning a latent tumor density field, its temporal evolution, and biologically meaningful physical parameters, including tumor diffusion and growth rates, through end-to-end

arXiv:2603.27994v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study examined how behavioral, emotional, and contextual factors influence Filipino students' willingness to use artificial intelligence (AI) for mental health support. Results showed that habit had the strongest effect on willingness, followed by comfort, emotional benefit, facilitating conditions, and perceived usefulness. Students who used AI tools regularly felt more confident and open to relying on them for emotional support. Empathy, privacy, and accessibility also increased comfort and trust in AI systems. The findings highlight that emotional safety and routine use are essential in promoting willingness. The study recommends AI literacy programs, empathic design, and ethical policies that support responsible and culturally sensitive use of AI for student mental health care.

arXiv:2603.27176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lesion detection, symptom tracking, and visual explainability are central to real-world medical image analysis, yet current medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) still lack mechanisms that translate their broad knowledge into clinically actionable outputs. To bridge this gap, we present MEDIC-AD, a clinically oriented VLM that strengthens these three capabilities through a stage-wise framework. First, learnable anomaly-aware tokens ( ) encourage the model to focus on abnormal regions and build more discriminative lesion centered representations. Second, inter image difference tokens ( ) explicitly encode temporal changes between studies, allowing the model to distinguish worsening, improvement, and stability in disease burden. Finally, a dedicated explainability stage trains the model to generate heatmaps that highlight lesion-related regions, offering clear visual evidence that is consistent with the model's reasoning. Through

arXiv:2603.26814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Affordance reasoning provides a principled link between perception and action, yet remains underexplored in surgical robotics, where tissues are highly deformable, compliant, and dynamically coupled with tool motion. We present arg-VU, a physics-aware affordance reasoning framework that integrates temporally consistent geometry tracking with constraint-induced mechanical modeling for surgical visual understanding. Surgical scenes are reconstructed using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and converted into a temporally tracked surface representation. Extended Position-Based Dynamics (XPBD) embeds local deformation constraints and produces representative geometry points (RGPs) whose constraint sensitivities define anisotropic stiffness metrics capturing the local constraint-manifold geometry. Robotic tool poses in SE(3) are incorporated to compute rigidly induced displacements at RGPs, from which we derive two complementary measures: a

arXiv:2603.26776v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable photovoltaic defect identification is essential for maintaining energy yield, ensuring warranty compliance, and enabling scalable inspection of rapidly expanding solar fleets. Although recent advances in computer vision have improved automated defect detection, most existing systems operate as opaque classifiers that provide limited diagnostic insight for high-stakes energy infrastructure. Here we introduce REVL-PV, a vision-language framework that embeds domain-specific diagnostic reasoning into multimodal learning across electroluminescence, thermal, and visible-light imagery. By requiring the model to link visual evidence to plausible defect mechanisms before classification, the framework produces structured diagnostic reports aligned with professional photovoltaic inspection practice. Evaluated on 1,927 real-world modules spanning eight defect categories, REVL-PV achieves 93\% classification accuracy while producing

arXiv:2603.26411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting how protein mutations affect drug binding remains a major challenge, particularly when the mutations are distal from the binding site. In this study, we introduce a coupled simulation workflow that combines long-time-scale molecular dynamics (MD) with high-throughput quantum mechanical (QM) analysis to reveal the electronic structure signatures of mutation induced drug resistance in the HIV-1 protease. Our workflow leverages GPU-accelerated MD to generate conformational ensembles, and performs in-operando linear-scaling density functional theory (DFT) calculations on selected frames parallelized on a coupled partition of CPU nodes. This design enables efficient, massively parallel quantum analysis of protein-ligand complexes at atomic resolution. Using this approach, we investigate resistance to the antiviral Darunavir in a multi-mutant HIV-1 protease variant. By mapping the network of electronic interactions across the

After a stroke, the brain may do something surprisingly hopeful—it can “refresh” parts of itself. Researchers analyzing brain scans from over 500 stroke survivors found that while the damaged side of the brain appears to age faster, the opposite, unaffected side can actually look younger. This unexpected shift seems to reflect the brain’s effort to rewire itself, strengthening healthy regions to compensate for lost function.

arXiv:2603.24986v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model based health agents are increasingly used by health consumers and clinicians to interpret health information and guide health decisions. However, most AI systems in healthcare operate in siloed configurations, supporting individual users rather than the multi-stakeholder relationships central to healthcare. Such use can fragment understanding and exacerbate misalignment among patients, caregivers, and clinicians. We reframe AI not as a standalone assistant, but as a collaborator embedded within multi-party care interactions. Through a clinically validated fictional pediatric chronic kidney disease case study, we show that breakdowns in adherence stem from fragmented situational awareness and misaligned goals, and that siloed use of general-purpose AI tools does little to address these collaboration gaps. We propose a conceptual framework for designing AI collaborators that surface contextual information, reconcile

CRISPR is a powerful DNA-editing tool that has underpinned huge advancements in human health care in the last decade. It is a precision tool, but is not perfect, and misplaced DNA edits can compromise safety and efficacy, costing billions each year.

arXiv:2603.24380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study higher-order curvature estimates along K\"ahler-Ricci flows on compact K\"ahler manifolds of intermediate Kodaira dimension. We prove that away from singular fibers, the Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded in $C^1$, the Laplacian of the Ricci curvature in $C^0$, and the scalar curvature in $C^2$. We identify a geometric obstruction to higher-order curvature bounds, whose non-vanishing causes a specific third-order derivative of the Ricci curvature to blow up at rate $e^{t/2}$. Uniform $C^k$ bounds for every $k$ hold for the Ricci curvature in the isotrivial case, and for the full Riemann curvature in the torus-fibered case.

arXiv:2603.23890v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the modern microservice architecture for cloud applications grows in popularity, cloud services are becoming increasingly complex and more vulnerable to misconfiguration and software bugs. Traditional approaches rely on expert input to diagnose and fix microservice anomalies, which lacks scalability in the face of the continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) paradigm. Microservice rollouts, containing new software installations, have complex interactions with the components of an application. Consequently, this added difficulty in attributing anomalous behavior to any specific installation or rollout results in potentially slower resolution times. To address the gaps in current diagnostic methods, this paper introduces Praxium, a framework for anomaly detection and root cause inference. Praxium aids administrators in evaluating target metric performance in the context of dependency installation information provided by

Peoples’ use of AI for researching health information and supporting mental health appears to trump consumers’ trust in the technology, based on the March 2026 Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust.          Similar to the recent Rock Health consumer survey on AI adoption (discussed in Health Populi earlier this week), about 1 in 3 U.S. adults have used AI for health information in the past year for either physical or mental health queries.              There are many studies gauging consumers’ use of AI in health care, but KFF uniquely surfaced an important nuance in this study regarding just “who” is more likely to use AI for health: that is that younger and lower income adults were much more likely to cite not being able to access or afford health care, and were thus motivated to turn to AI for health advice.

The Mediterranean diet — rich in olive oil, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish and legumes, while limiting red meat and processed foods — is already known to benefit heart and brain health. However, exactly how it works in the body has remained unclear. Study sheds light on what’s happening inside cells Researchers from the University of Southern California and Sapienza University of Rome found that people who closely followed the Mediterranean diet had higher levels of two mitochondrial proteins. The study involved 49 elderly patients (average age of 78) with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, a condition that increases stroke risk. These patients tend to have high oxidative stress — a condition where harmful reactive oxygen species outweigh the body’s defenses — making it easier to detect diet-related changes.

Researchers have identified many contributing issues leading to the characteristic loss of muscle mass and strength that takes place with age. Arguably the central problems are (a) the disruptions of cell behavior caused by chronic inflammation, (b) damage to neuromuscular junctions, depriving muscle tissue of signals it relies upon for normal maintenance to take place, and (c) loss of muscle stem cell activity, and thus a reduced supply of somatic muscle cells to replace losses. These central problems likely interact with one another, but in principle could be addressed distinctly to produce benefits in patients. Past studies have shown, rather convincingly, that muscle stem cells in older individuals retain their function when moved from an old environment to a young environment. The problem is not […]
