A kidney transplant risk prediction model demonstrated accuracy at 10 years for predicting mortality risks, according to study data published in JAMA Network Open.Previous studies that developed kidney transplant risk prediction models were limited by a lack of external validation cohorts and short follow-up periods, according to Charlotte Debiais-Deschamps, MD, a nephrologist at the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, and colleagues. Thus, the researchers aimed to develop a risk prediction model that could predict both short-term and long-term mortality risks for kidney transplant

arXiv:2606.06552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum encrypted cloning shows that an unknown quantum state can be distributed into multiple encrypted copies without contradicting the no-cloning theorem: each copy is unusable on its own, but can be redeemed together with a suitable quantum key. Recent work has related canonical encrypted-cloning protocols to particular forms of quantum secret sharing. Here we take the converse perspective: instead of mapping a given encrypted-cloning protocol into QSS, we use QSS access structures as a design library from which encrypted-cloning schemes can be extracted. The criterion is access-structural. A QSS scheme supports a quantum encrypted-cloning structure whenever it contains a family of qualified sets with a non-qualified common intersection. The common subsystem is interpreted as the key, while the non-common parts are interpreted as encrypted clones relative to that key. Thus quantum encrypted cloning does not require a new notion of

arXiv:2606.07240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-lingual voice cloning aims to generate speech in a target language while preserving speaker identity from a source-language reference. This task is central to speech translation and is the focus of the IWSLT 2026 Cross-Lingual Voice Cloning track. A key challenge is maintaining intelligibility and naturalness in the presence of accent variation and domain-specific vocabulary. We build on a multilingual text-to-speech model, FishAudio-S2-Pro, and introduce language tag prompting to improve language control and reduce accent leakage. We further apply reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning for task adaptation and observe improvements in intelligibility. Finally, we propose a reference-conditioned lexical matching method that improves pronunciation of domain-specific terms when lexical overlap is present. Results show that language prompting provides the largest gains, while lexical matching yields consistent improvements on matched

arXiv:2606.06869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aim: Existing AI-assisted traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic tools suffer from opaque reasoning processes, passive interaction, and limited treatment plan presentation. This study proposes a knowledge-enhanced visual diagnostic system to improve the transparency and interpretability of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Methods: The system is built upon a Neo4j knowledge graph comprising 241 syndromes, 1,263 symptoms, and 2,485 relations. It incorporates a four-stage symptom matching pipeline (exact, semantic, fuzzy, and large language model verification), an information gain-driven proactive questioning strategy optimized with genetic algorithms, and a multimodal treatment presentation integrating artificial intelligence-generated illustrations, three-dimensional meridian-acupoint models, and evidence-based literature. Results: Knowledge graph constraints reduced non-standard outputs by 32%. Case studies validated

In his address at the 2026 World Economic Forum, the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, described a rupture in the global order, one that is now prompting nations to rethink economic security, supply chains, and technological independence.1 Increasingly, these concerns extend beyond traditional economic sectors to new forms of international collaboration. One promising pathway is cooperation among middle powers centred on health data and health artificial intelligence (AI).Middle power countries such as Canada, Australia, South Korea, and numerous European countries are not global superpowers but can exert influence through collaborative approaches, institution building, and collective influence.2 A potential approach to middle power collaboration related to health data encompasses infrastructure and technical approaches such as storage, governance, interoperability, and secure exchange of health data; and applications such as the development of health AI for decision support, risk

arXiv:2606.06562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalised cancer therapy aims to tailor treatment to individual tumour profiles, yet tumour heterogeneity and adaptive resistance continue to limit clinical efficacy. Drug combinations offer a strategy to overcome resistance by simultaneously targeting multiple pathways, but their rational design is constrained by the vast combinatorial search space and experimental cost. Here, we present an AI-guided, QSAR-driven iterative optimisation framework that integrates machine learning with automated experimental screening to enable closed-loop discovery of selective multi-drug therapies. Starting from an initial random screen, the system iteratively predicts, tests, and refines three-drug combinations targeting MCF7 breast cancer cells. Incorporation of non-tumorigenic MCF10A cells enables explicit optimisation of tumour-selective efficacy, prioritising regimens that maximise cancer cell killing while sparing healthy cells. Across

Elizabeth Dwoskin / Washington Post: Inside the Trump admin's push to integrate AI into the healthcare system, including an FDA regulatory fast track for digital health tech like AI chatbots  —  The administration is laying the groundwork for chatbots that can diagnose illness and prescribe medicine, but physicians say AI can introduce more problems.

A new review was published in Volume 18 of Aging on May 15, 2026, titled "Blue period – features of senescence 30 years after beta-galactosidase."

For Beijing-based METiS TechBio CEO Lai Tsai-ta, ageing is comparable to bugs building up in a complex software system – it happens once errors begin to accumulate in the genetic code of human cells, such as their DNA sequences. “Those errors can be reprogrammed. It becomes possible to use AI to read, rewrite and reverse cells, or at least slow the ageing process,” Lai said in an interview with the South China Morning Post. The process could begin by fixing “immune cells, such as T cells, as...

Non-invasive eye scans allow doctors a zoomed-in, three-dimensional look beneath the eye's surface without causing discomfort or pain to the patient. Used routinely in clinics worldwide, the scans produce detailed views of individual layers of the eye's interior to help diagnose conditions that threaten vision. But with that level of precision comes a flood of data—hundreds of images per scan that physicians have to review manually, a time-consuming process that is vulnerable to human error.
