Blood contains countless different proteins secreted from different cell populations throughout the body. Different cell types tend to secrete different mixes of proteins. Researchers have recently made inroads into constructing organ-specific aging clocks from protein levels in blood, using machine learning to identify patterns that predict the health, disease risk, and disease status of specific organs. This is still in the relatively early stages when compared to other clocks, but it seems to be going fairly well so far. The results are as useful as more general aging clocks, which is to say that there are still hurdles to overcome before they can be used by an individual to reliably assess health or in a study to rapidly assess outcomes of a new therapy. Senescent […]

People commonly disclose all kinds of personal data to AI chatbots, including the highly inadvisable practice of asking them for health advice. In addition to the grave medical dangers of obtaining inaccurate advice, users are also running significant privacy risks. Most AI chatbots have terms and conditions that allow any of your conversations with them to be used as training data, and often app terms that allow data to be collated and sold. Democrats now propose to update a privacy law to prevent the sale of health data …

arXiv:2606.28856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While AI holds the potential to revolutionize space life sciences, realizing this promise is contingent upon the systematic restructuring of heterogeneous spaceflight biological data into machine-actionable, AI-ready forms. Even though open access principles support human reuse and scientific reproducibility, this does not necessarily enable AI systems to access and analyze such a diverse set of scientific datasets. In addition, the growing array of AI approaches places distinct demands on data structure, metadata, and access interfaces. In order to respond to such growing changes we propose a three-tier approach, proceeding from FAIR to AI-ready to space-ready data. We discuss existing infrastructures and how they can be improved to close the AI access gap.

arXiv:2606.29777v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern science is organized around specialization in training and teamwork. Scientists develop deep expertise within a field and combine complementary knowledge through collaboration to solve complex problems. Yet whether specialization is the most effective path to sustained innovation remains unclear. Here we introduce a quantitative framework that distinguishes generalists from specialists based on scaling patterns of disciplinary mobility while remaining independent of career age and productivity. Applying this framework to 49 million publications produced by 3 million scientists between 1900 and 2020, we examine how research style relates to innovation, learning, collaboration, and productivity. We find that scientists who move across fields are more likely to sustain innovative contributions throughout their careers, whereas those who remain within narrow fields exhibit the age-related decline in innovation. Generalists are less

arXiv:2606.29580v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Maternal and newborn mortality remain among the highest in sub-Saharan Africa, where midwifery care is often delivered by nurses who lack midwifery training to international standards, and consulting authoritative guidance at the point of care is hard: the guidelines are long and connectivity is intermittent. We present MAM-AI, a medical question-answering assistant for nurse-midwives in Zanzibar that runs entirely on a commodity Android device: a question is embedded (EmbeddingGemma, 300M) and matched against a curated corpus of 87 guideline documents (63,650 passages), then answered with citations by a 4B int4 generator (Gemma 4 E4B), fully offline, with no query leaving the device. We evaluate the exact deployed configuration with a layered methodology -- retriever, generator under oracle context, end-to-end, and latency -- scored by LLM judges validated against physician rubrics. The evaluation relocates the hard problem. On-device

arXiv:2606.29890v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A Kerr-cat qubit encodes a logical bit in the two wells of a parametrically driven nonlinear oscillator, and a logic gate is a transient change of the drive. In the phase plane the gate deforms the double well and can split its separatrix into a turnstile that carries trajectories across the dividing surface between the wells; the same pulse, acting on the quantum oscillator, can corrupt the encoded bit. We study this process over a disk of coherent-state preparations, comparing classical phase-space transport diagnostics with the open-system quantum outcome on a common domain so that the two can be compared point by point. The central finding is that the corruption depends on the full temporal protocol, not on pulse strength alone: a sudden quench erases the bit, whereas a smooth ramp of the same peak amplitude largely preserves it. A finite-time sensitivity field locates the classical transport boundary, and a Loschmidt echo

Researchers here review the state of stem cell therapies for the treatment of age-related degenerative conditions, with particular attention to more recently emerged areas of the field such as efforts to rejuvenate old patient-derived stem cells before their use in therapy. Partial epigenetic reprogramming is not much mentioned in this context as, unlike the use of senolytics, it has not yet advanced to the point of ease of use for the average stem cell clinic. Treating a stem cell culture with cheap and well-established senolytic compounds is very much more feasible in comparison to the time, expertise, and expense needed to safely and reliably partially reprogram cells in that same culture. Rejuvenation strategies for ageing stem cells focus on restoring their regenerative capabilities, which decline […]

Therapies that increase muscle tissue regeneration following injury, and possibly also normal maintenance and growth of muscle tissue, are of great interest at present. The widespread use of GLP-1 receptor agonists to induce calorie restriction causes loss of muscle mass as well as fat mass, and so there is a strong financial incentive for the research and development of means to force the body to build more muscle. There was already a strong financial incentive in the sense that everyone loses muscle with age, and frailty is a prevalent and harmful state of poor health, but for some reason that was never as motivating to the development community. Nonetheless, recent years have seen a number of interesting new discoveries in the regulation of muscle regeneration […]

arXiv:2606.26146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we introduce and study the notion of fuzzy normed BCK-algebras and fuzzy normed BCI-algebras as a natural extension of clas sical normed algebraic structures into the fuzzy setting. A fuzzy norm on a BCK/BCI-algebra is defined as a mapping from the algebra and a positive real parameter into the unit interval satisfying suitable axioms analogous to those of fuzzy normed linear spaces. Several examples are presented to illustrate the validity of the axioms. Fundamental properties of fuzzy normed BCK/BCI algebras are established, including monotonicity, chained triangle inequalities, and order-related behaviors. It is shown that every BCK/BCI-algebra admits a fuzzy norm, and the behavior of fuzzy norms under algebra homomorphisms is investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the transfer of fuzzy norms via injective, surjective, and bijective homomorphisms. A charac terization theorem is proved showing

Objective: This study examines whether learned dependency on GenAI influences trust in AI-generated health information and whether text highlighting reduces overreliance on incorrect outputs. Methods: Two randomized controlled experiments were conducted with 338 college students and 563 Amazon Mechanical Turk participants. Both experiments used a 2 by 2 between-subjects design manipulating information accuracy (correct versus incorrect) and text highlighting (highlight versus no highlight). Trust and learned dependency were measured using validated scales, and linear regression models tested main and interaction effects. Results: In both experiments, information accuracy significantly increased trust (p

arXiv:2606.27375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce ABC, a fully open-source stack for manipulation with behavior cloning. At its core is ABC-130K: the largest open-source teleoperation dataset to date, featuring 3,500 hours of data spanning over 130K episodes across 195 diverse tasks. Furthermore, we open-source our accessible hardware setup, training infrastructure, and simulation pipeline. We also release 400 hours of sim-teleop data and provide a co-training recipe that produces correlated simulation and real-world evaluation, offering a reliable proxy for ablating model-design and training decisions before costly real-world evaluation. We explore various training recipes and compare common architectural choices for Diffusion Transformers (DiT) and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, grounding our findings in real-world evaluations. The resulting policies successfully execute dexterous tasks such as box folding and extracting credit cards from wallets. By providing a

arXiv:2606.26951v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer promising avenues for cerebral palsy (CP) rehabilitation at home and in the clinic, using games that promote engagement and sustained training effort. Nonetheless, the design constraints of BCI-based CP rehabilitation remain unclear, especially how individuals with CP experience a sense of control through BCI, and how they experience computer-mediated game assistance. To address this gap, we present preliminary clinical and user perspectives on BCI-based CP rehabilitation, drawing on in-clinic insights from a CP therapist and experiential accounts from ten individuals with CP engaging with BCI game prototypes. Sporadic help in BCI games eased monotony, but also fostered doubts regarding agency. The therapist saw BCI rehabilitation as complementary to traditional training, facilitating the transition from playful exercises to autonomous, self-managed training. We outline key challenges and

arXiv:2606.26535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current VLM evaluations often conflate language priors with genuine spatial reasoning. To address this, we introduce CRISP, a novel structural-diagnostic evaluation paradigm that assesses visual spatial intelligence through consistency, the alignment between implicit perception and explicit reasoning. Unlike traditional black-box QA, CRISP utilizes metric 3D Scene Graphs and an oracle intervention protocol to decouple latent reasoning capabilities from perceptual bottlenecks. This granular diagnosis uncovers a systematic perception-reasoning disconnect. Crucially, we reveal that while proprietary models possess robust latent reasoning engines, they suffer from inaccurate metric estimation and a critical failure to leverage their implicit structural representations. Conversely, open-source models remain fundamentally bottlenecked by their lack of multi-hop compositional reasoning. By shifting the focus from merely ``guessing correctly''

arXiv:2606.26494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical AI remains organized around isolated models, whereas clinical care requires accountable capabilities that persist across time.

Using osteoporosis as an exemplar, we show how knowledge-driven, data-driven and physics-enhanced skills can support lifecycle care under runtime governance.

arXiv:2606.26205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Patients increasingly seek medication information online, yet safety knowledge for psychiatric drugs is split between regulatory adverse-event records, which are authoritative but abstract, and patient narratives, which are experience-near but unvalidated. Integrating them without conflating evidence and anecdote is especially consequential in psychiatry, where poorly contextualised information can amplify fear, nocebo responses, and non-adherence. Here we develop a provenance-aware, knowledge-graph-based multi-agent framework unifying 466,525 Reddit posts, 60,782 WebMD reviews, and twenty years of U.S. FDA Adverse Event Reporting System records for nine antidepressants. A large-language-model entity-recognition pipeline benchmarked against physician annotations reached highest F1 scores of 0.969 for medications and 0.973 for conditions.

arXiv:2606.26116v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A brand whose customers use both ChatGPT and Claude for product recommendations faces a strategic choice: a single optimization playbook, or one per provider? Across 215 commercially-framed prompts in four measurement batches, the two providers disagree on which brands they recommend roughly two-thirds of the time (cross-provider recommendation Jaccard 0.35, below the 0.50-0.61 same-prompt rerun baseline). The picks diverge. But when neither provider recommends a brand, we classify the failure into one of three modes -- discoverability (the brand never reaches the model), compellingness (it reaches the model but isn't mentioned), or positioning (it's mentioned but not recommended) -- and on 7,763 such joint failures, both providers diagnose the same failure mode 95.1% of the time (clustered 95% CI [94.3%, 95.7%]). Agreement rises monotonically with falling brand prominence, from 81% [78.2%, 84.0%] on category leaders to 99.6% [99.3%,
