A wide variety of stem cell therapies exist at various stages of development and clinical use. A broad range of cell sources and processing techniques are unprotected by intellectual property and are thus employed by clinics both within and outside the more heavily regulated regions of the world. Stem cell therapies have long been a staple of the medical tourism industry. These first generation stem cell therapies may be widely used but do not contribute much in the way of robust data to improve our understanding of how well they work. It appears to be the case, from what little we can see, that the benefits of treatment vary notably between patients and clinics. Even similar approaches can produce very different outcomes in different hands, […]

The research community appreciates that our ability to preserve function in the aging brain lags behind our ability to intervene in the age-related degeneration of other organs. The brain is also an organ in which our ability to replace tissues, either actually or in principle, is limited. It is comparatively difficult and expensive to access the brain, and structure in the brain store the data of the mind. The only practical path forward is to find ways to repair existing brain tissue without disrupting its activities and data storage. As the ability of the medical community to maintain the rest of the body advances, it will become ever more pressing to develop the means to restore function to an aging brain. Longevity research has traditionally […]

Loss of specialized cells is a feature of aging, exhibited in tissues throughout the body. There are many examples of cell types that could in principle be replaced once lost, but in practice are not replaced. The underlying reasons for this selective lack of regenerative capacity are incompletely understood. Examples of highly specialized cell types that do not regenerate include sensory hair cells in the inner ear and the podocyte cells of the kidney that are the subject of today's research materials. Interestingly, some of the cell types that regenerate poorly or not at all in mammals are in fact restored when lost in other species. While comparative biology allows for an exploration of these differences, cells are enormously complex and expanding the understanding of […]

Hematopoietic stem cells are responsible for generating red blood cells and immune cells. With age, this production of cells becomes dysfunctional in a variety of ways, contributing to the aging of the immune system. For example, production of immune cells becomes biased to myeloid cells at the expense of lymphoid cells, a change that contributes indirectly to the more inflammatory behavior of the aged immune system. Identifying specific mechanisms involved in hemotopoietic aging is the first step on the road to finding ways to reverse these issues. Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) show diminished capacity of self-renewal, skewed lineage output and compromised proteostasis. Ubiquitin proteasomal systems are critical for maintaining protein homeostasis. We show that the levels of Ube2g1, a E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme likely involved […]

arXiv:2602.19913v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold with semiample canonical bundle converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology to the metric completion of the twisted K\"ahler-Einstein metric on the canonical model, as conjectured by Song-Tian's analytic mimimal model program.

arXiv:2602.20100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The dependence on expert annotation has long constituted the primary rate-limiting step in the application of artificial intelligence to biomedicine. While supervised learning drove the initial wave of clinical algorithms, a paradigm shift towards unsupervised and self-supervised learning (SSL) is currently unlocking the latent potential of biobank-scale datasets. By learning directly from the intrinsic structure of data - whether pixels in a magnetic resonance image (MRI), voxels in a volumetric scan, or tokens in a genomic sequence - these methods facilitate the discovery of novel phenotypes, the linkage of morphology to genetics, and the detection of anomalies without human bias. This article synthesises seminal and recent advances in "learning without labels," highlighting how unsupervised frameworks can derive heritable cardiac traits, predict spatial gene expression in histology, and detect pathologies with performance that rivals

arXiv:2602.19948v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly utilized for mental health support; however, current safety benchmarks often fail to detect the complex, longitudinal risks inherent in therapeutic dialogue. We introduce an evaluation framework that pairs AI psychotherapists with simulated patient agents equipped with dynamic cognitive-affective models and assesses therapy session simulations against a comprehensive quality of care and risk ontology. We apply this framework to a high-impact test case, Alcohol Use Disorder, evaluating six AI agents (including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Character.AI) against a clinically-validated cohort of 15 patient personas representing diverse clinical phenotypes. Our large-scale simulation (N=369 sessions) reveals critical safety gaps in the use of AI for mental health support. We identify specific iatrogenic risks, including the validation of patient delusions ("AI Psychosis") and failure to de-escalate

arXiv:2602.18773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of tool-calling-based agent systems introduces a more evidence-driven paradigm for pathology image analysis in contrast to the coarse-grained text-image diagnostic approaches. With the recent large-scale experimental adoption of spatial transcriptomics technologies, molecularly validated pathological diagnosis is becoming increasingly open and accessible. In this work, we propose LAMMI-Pathology (LVLM-Agent System for Molecularly Informed Medical Intelligence in Pathology), a scalable agent framework for domain-specific agent tool-calling. LAMMI-Pathology adopts a tool-centric, bottom-up architecture in which customized domain-adaptive tools serve as the foundation. These tools are clustered by domain style to form component agents, which are then coordinated through a top-level planner hierarchically, avoiding excessively long context lengths that could induce task drift. Based on that, we introduce a novel trajectory

arXiv:2602.18460v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Across healthcare, agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly promoted as capable of autonomous action, yet in practice they currently operate under near-total human oversight due to safety, regulatory, and liability constraints that make autonomous clinical reasoning infeasible in high-stakes environments. While market enthusiasm suggests a revolution in healthcare agents, the conceptual assumptions and accountability structures shaping these systems remain underexamined. We present a qualitative study based on interviews with 20 stakeholders, including developers, implementers, and end users. Our analysis identifies three mutually reinforcing tensions: conceptual fragmentation regarding the definition of `agentic'; an autonomy contradiction where commercial promises exceed operational reality; and an evaluation blind spot that prioritizes technical benchmarks over sociotechnical safety. We argue that agentic {AI}

arXiv:2602.17772v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG)-based P300 brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable communication without physical movement by detecting stimulus-evoked neural responses. Accurate and efficient decoding remains challenging due to high dimensionality, temporal dependence, and complex interactions across EEG channels.
