Ankle sprains are among the most common musculoskeletal injuries on the planet, and for a stubborn minority of patients they never truly heal. Roughly a quarter of people who sprain an ankle go on to develop chronic ankle instability, a condition defined by repeated episodes of the joint giving way, lingering mechanical laxity, and long-term […]

For years, scientists have grown ball-like structures from human stem cells that mimic some of the earliest stages of embryonic life, hoping to unlock the secrets of fertility, pregnancy loss and developmental disease without relying on donated human embryos. These structures, known as blastoids, have become one of the most promising and most debated tools […]

Soft tissue defects caused by trauma, tumor removal, or congenital conditions remain one of the most stubborn challenges in reconstructive medicine. Fat grafts shrink, synthetic fillers eventually fade, and engineered tissues often fail to develop the blood supply they need to survive. Now, a team of researchers reporting in the Journal of Advanced Research has […]

For patients battling high-risk or refractory acute leukemia, an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant is often the last, best hope for a cure. The procedure replaces a patient’s diseased bone marrow with healthy blood-forming stem cells from a donor, rebooting the immune system and the blood itself. Yet the treatment carries a sobering paradox: some […]

One of the most consequential questions in colorectal cancer care is also one of the hardest to answer before a scalpel touches the patient: has the tumor already sent cells creeping into the lymphatic or blood vessels that thread through the bowel wall? This phenomenon, known as lymphovascular invasion, or LVI, is invisible to the […]

AI “has the capacity to dominate us to free us from medical tyranny” US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has claimed.1“It can give you a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country,” Kennedy told a Make America Healthy Again summit earlier this week.2Kennedy quoted Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, who reportedly told him in a private meeting days before that it would be “malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis or to make a prescription without at least checking AI.”“One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again gonna be dominated by public officials who tell us ‘trust the experts,’” Kennedy said.“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ AI may tell you otherwise. If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ AI may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a...

Fever is one of the most common and most worrying events in the weeks following a hematopoietic cell transplantation, the procedure in which patients with blood cancers such as multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and lymphoma receive an infusion of blood-forming stem cells after intensive conditioning chemotherapy. In many of these patients, a temperature spike […]

First generation stem cell therapies have become widespread; they are readily accessed in medical tourism clinics, and are also available for a range of issues in more regulated parts of the world. Initially it was hoped that transplanted cells would engraft and survive to assist tissues in repair and regeneration, but it has become clear that this is not how the therapies produce benefits. Rather it is a matter of signals generated by the transplanted cells in the short time they survive that beneficially alter the behavior of native cells. Unfortunately, while effects such as months-long suppression of chronic inflammation are fairly reliable, other hoped for improvements such as the stimulation of greater regeneration or regression of disease remain highly unreliable outcomes. One might ask […]

The commensal microbes of the gut microbiome generate a range of metabolites that are beneficial or necessary to cell function. Levels of a number of these metabolites have been shown to decline with age as the composition of the gut microbiome changes for the worse. Overall the gut microbiome clearly makes a meaningful contribution to health and longevity, as demonstrated by the sizeable benefits resulting from providing a young microbiome to an old animal, but it isn't clear as to how much of these effects derive from changes in the production of any specific metabolite. Metabolites produced by gut bacteria are taken up by the host and have a direct impact on its health. However, to our knowledge, no studies have investigated the effects of […]

Carotenoids are everywhere in our lives, even if most of us never notice them.

arXiv:2610.00441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Secret sharing is ubiquitous throughout cryptography. All possible access structures are classically feasible, and in the case of threshold access structures, the protocols are even very efficient. However, when moving to the quantum setting, the no-cloning theorem shows that many access structures are impossible. In fact, no-cloning exactly characterizes feasibility: for thresholds, quantum secret sharing is possible if and only if the threshold $t$ is strictly more than $n/2$. In this work, we propose a variant of quantum secret sharing (QSS) where two or more identical copies of the input state are provided, but the output is only required to recover one copy. This notion circumvents the simple one-copy no-cloning obstruction, though the natural $k$-copy generalization still gives much milder obstructions. For thresholds using $k$ copies, no-cloning implies that QSS is impossible whenever $t\leq n/(k+1)$. It is tempting to

For decades, the scientific consensus has maintained that the primary drivers of health disparities between men and women are circulating sex hormones, specifically estrogen and testosterone. While these hormones undoubtedly play a critical role in physiology, a comprehensive new review published in the journal Science challenges this singular focus. The research demonstrates that the X […]

Predicting whether a drug molecule will bind to a particular protein target is one of the most consequential questions in computational drug discovery, and deep learning models have promised to answer it at scale. Yet a persistent problem has haunted the field: when a new model reports better numbers than its predecessor, it is often […]

In the News Feature “A fatal reaction” (23 July, 10.1126/science. aek8000), B. Borrell reports that a 6-year-old girl died after the world’s first-in-human brain base-editing trial in China. This case highlights a governance paradox: A regulatory system with detailed ethical rules failed to prevent a fatal outcome. Institutional fragmentation may be at fault. As countries expand access to highly individualized gene-editing therapies, they must also strengthen continuous, cross-institutional oversight.

The recent gene-editing trial led by Zilong Qiu and colleagues in Shanghai (“A fatal reaction,” B. Borrell, News Feature, 23 July, 10.1126/science.aek8000) was not only a case of failed oversight; it also illustrates a recurring moral danger in biomedical research. Such trials can be driven by two mutually reinforcing motivations: the pursuit of professional recognition and a crude utilitarian rationale that risky experiments are justified because, if successful, they may benefit large numbers of present and future patients. This second motivation, which is especially powerful in biomedicine, can cloak self-interest in moral language and encourage researchers to discount evidence of danger to the individuals enrolled as subjects. Gene-editing interventions, in particular, may appear morally elevated because their promised benefits aim to enhance general welfare for all, including future generations, regardless of nationality or group identity. For this reason, the appeal to future

The effects of calorie restriction and even larger effects of growth hormone receptor knockout on the lifespan of mice have proven to be hard to beat. In large part, this is because (a) aging is the result of a number of very different causes, (b) producing comprehensive rejuvenation will require a number of very different therapies applied in combination, and (c) next to no-one is assessing the results of combination therapies targeting the root causes of aging. One of the other consequences of aging having multiple distinct (but interacting) causes is that it is in principle possible to make good progress on treating a cause of aging without producing an appreciable gain in healthspan or lifespan, or without reversing a given class of age-related disease, […]

Video has never been easier to fake.

arXiv:2609.38794v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emotion prosody perception requires simultaneous processing of acoustic cues and speaker identity. While listeners effortlessly decode natural speech, AI synthetic voices introduce cognitive complexities due to subtle acoustic atypicalities. It remains unclear how these synthetic features interact with a listener's prior social knowledge and memory of a familiar speaker. This study investigated how speech sources (human vs. AI) and speaker familiarity affect emotion recognition accuracy and cognitive load. A within-subject task with Mandarin-speaking adults evaluated behavioral (accuracy, reaction time) and physiological data (heart rate variability). Results showed that human voices yielded significantly higher accuracy and faster processing times than AI voices, while HRV did not significantly differentiate between conditions. These findings show that decoding synthetic speech is gated by top-down social cognition, highlighting

arXiv:2609.38658v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: TTS systems with autoregressive semantic modeling have demonstrated strong zero-shot voice cloning performance and rich expressive variation, but their sequential decoding incurs substantial latency. Non-autoregressive alternatives offer much faster generation, yet often rely on more restrictive reference conditioning, such as requiring transcripts of the reference speech during inference. We present Tacit-TTS, an efficient transcript-free zero-shot voice cloning system distilled from IndexTTS2. Our model replaces autoregressive text-to-semantic decoding with masked non-autoregressive generation, introduces training-free acoustic length estimation, and accelerates the flow-matching renderer through ReFlow distillation. Across two English and two Mandarin datasets, Tacit-TTS achieves competitive zero-shot quality while generating speech over 10x faster than IndexTTS2 for utterances longer than 5 seconds. Its transcript-free conditioning

arXiv:2609.39808v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Animal models are widely used to study human biology and health interventions, yet translating findings from animal studies to humans remains challenging. Evidence across preclinical and clinical research informs experimental and translational decisions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly reshaping how this evidence is searched, synthesized, and used, but it remains unclear how they should support the diverse stakeholders involved in assessing animal-to-human evidence. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 stakeholders to examine their evidence practices, challenges, and expectations for AI support. We found that stakeholders approach the same incomplete evidence base with different goals, expertise, and heuristics. Participants valued AI particularly for locating, screening, and extracting evidence, but were more cautious about automated interpretation and quality judgments. They emphasized transparency,

arXiv:2609.39513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite being an emerging credible means of using artificial intelligence (AI) for improving disease surveillance via early detection of outbreaks, epidemics prediction and evidence-based decision-making, there continue to be challenges in the use of AI tools in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to various factors including fragmented health information system, digital inequality, governance problems and institutional incapability. Most of the research conducted so far has concentrated on the efficacy and accuracy of AI in terms of predicting outbreaks, with little focus on other conditions necessary for its deployment. This study adopts a qualitative problem-discovery research design, integrating thematic analysis with philosophical analysis to examine the structural and normative barriers surrounding AI implementation in disease surveillance. The analysis identifies four interrelated dimensions of implementation

arXiv:2609.39429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is a key requirement for trustworthy AI in high-stakes medical image analysis. In this work, we evaluate UQ in a multi-task Deep Learning framework for MRI-based glioma diagnosis that performs tumor segmentation and predicts IDH mutation status, 1p/19q co-deletion status, and tumor grade. Monte Carlo Dropout (MCD) is used for a detailed task-aware analysis of predictive, aleatoric, and epistemic uncertainty. We assess MC sample convergence, calibration, error detection, selective prediction, associations with segmentation performance, and the effect of voxel-wise uncertainty aggregation on case-level reliability. We also compare MCD with Deep Ensembles (DE) and Monte Carlo Deep Ensembles (MCDE), examine interactions between segmentation quality and classification, and evaluate a composite trust score integrating segmentation and classification uncertainty. Across tasks, uncertainty estimates supported

arXiv:2609.38472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Behavior cloning provides an offline route to autonomous-driving policy learning, but mean-squared-error regression is poorly matched to demonstrations in which one observation admits several valid actions. Diffusion policies can represent conditional multimodal action distributions, yet their closed-loop performance may be unstable when visual features and control are learned from limited data. This paper presents Diffusion-2BC, which combines a diffusion denoising objective with an auxiliary deterministic behavior-cloning loss over a shared visual encoder. The auxiliary branch is used only during training; inference remains diffusion-based. The proposed method is evaluated in the controlled Claw environment and in bird's-eye-view CARLA navigation, including route-conditioned driving, route-free navigation through multiple intersections, and cross-map evaluation from Town01 to Town02. In the Claw task, Diffusion-2BC reduced the mean

arXiv:2609.38401v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training data variation, whether through designing a domain randomization (DR) scheme in simulation or curating demonstrations for imitation learning, is a primary lever for improving the robustness of robotic manipulation policies. Yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, and practitioners typically select randomization parameters through expensive trial and error. We investigate these mechanisms through a series of case studies, randomizing object size, color, and type as well as scene lighting and linguistic prompts across settings including pick-and-place RL in ManiSkill and fine-tuning of vision-language-action (VLA) models on LIBERO and RoboTwin. We examine both model behavior and internal representations, using the empirical neural tangent kernel (NTK) as our primary diagnostic tool. We show that the NTK distinguishes a shift in the internal learning mechanism from \textit{memorizing} different situations with

Scientists have unveiled a new artificial intelligence–derived blood test that distills the molecular noise of cellular aging into a single number, one that appears to forecast who will die, who will fall ill, and how quickly the body accumulates the senescent cells that many researchers now consider a driving force behind growing old.
