The aging of the oral microbiome is relatively understudied in commparison to the present interest in the aging of the gut microbiome, but there is still a fairly sizable literature on the topic. There is clear evidence for a relationship between the oral microbiome and age-related disease, which one will largely find in the context of the potential effects of inflammatory gum disease on cardiovascular and neurodegenerative conditions, where researchers are interested in the leakage of microbes and their metabolites into the bloodstream via injured gums. The literature is not consistent when it comes to effect sizes, however; it is unclear as to how much of a problem this is. Today's open access paper presents a different focus on the oral microbiome, more akin to […]

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. Most existing approaches treat channels independently or rely on black-box machine learning models, limiting interpretability and personalization. We propose a sparse Bayesian time-varying regression framework that explicitly models pairwise EEG channel interactions while performing automatic temporal feature selection. The model employs a relaxed-thresholded Gaussian process prior to induce structured sparsity in both channel-specific and interaction effects, enabling interpretable identification of task-relevant channels and channel pairs. Applied to a publicly available P300 speller dataset of 55 participants, the proposed

Umbilical cord blood transplantation has transformed the treatment options for patients with blood cancers and other life-threatening hematologic disorders, particularly when matched donors are unavailable. While cord blood is known for its ability to tolerate genetic mismatches better than other donor sources, severe immune complications remain a major barrier to long-term survival.

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is driven by the gradual loss of dopamine-producing cells—leading to tremors, stiffness, and slowed movement—researchers are implanting lab-grown cells directly into the brain’s movement center to replace what’s been lost.

Umbilical cord blood transplantation has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape for patients afflicted with hematological malignancies and other critical blood disorders, especially in situations where well-matched donors are not available.

arXiv:2602.17308v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for diagnostic tasks in medicine. In clinical practice, the correct diagnosis can rarely be immediately inferred from the initial patient presentation alone. Rather, reaching a diagnosis often involves systematic history taking, during which clinicians reason over multiple potential conditions through iterative questioning to resolve uncertainty. This process requires considering differential diagnoses and actively excluding emergencies that demand immediate intervention. Yet, the ability of medical LLMs to generate informative follow-up questions and thus reason over differential diagnoses remains underexplored. Here, we introduce MedClarify, an AI agent for information-seeking that can generate follow-up questions for iterative reasoning to support diagnostic decision-making. Specifically, MedClarify computes a list of candidate diagnoses analogous to a differential diagnosis, and then

The number of private longevity medicine clinics has exploded in recent years. For the doctors who join them, the opportunity to work with patients over longer consultations and focus on prevention makes a refreshing change from the relentless firefighting of 10 minute NHS appointments.I understand the appeal. Many of us entered medicine to help people stay well, not simply to manage crises. Time to talk, reflect, and support behaviour change is increasingly rare in routine practice. Longevity medicine offers the promise of doing just that. Yet it also raises ethical dilemmas that I’m not convinced the profession has fully considered.Private longevity clinics typically offer access to a wide range of tests and biomarkers, many of which are not recommended for routine screening. Patients pay substantial sums for investigations that are often unnecessary, of uncertain benefit, or unsupported by robust evidence. This is framed as empowering patients with knowledge, but it...

arXiv:2602.15955v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A P300 ERP-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) speller is an assistive communication tool. It searches for the P300 event-related potential (ERP) elicited by target stimuli, distinguishing it from the neural responses to non-target stimuli embedded in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Conventional methods require a lengthy calibration procedure to construct the binary classifier, which reduced overall efficiency. Thus, we proposed a unified framework with minimum calibration effort such that, given a small amount of labeled calibration data, we employed an adaptive semi-supervised EM-GMM algorithm to update the binary classifier. We evaluated our method based on character-level prediction accuracy, information transfer rate (ITR), and BCI utility. We applied calibration on training data and reported results on testing data.

arXiv:2602.16553v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of agentic AI marks a new phase in the digital transformation of healthcare. Distinct from conventional generative AI, agentic AI systems are capable of autonomous, goal-directed actions and complex task coordination. They promise to support or even collaborate with clinicians and patients in increasingly independent ways. While agentic AI raises familiar moral concerns regarding safety, accountability, and bias, this article focuses on a less explored dimension: its capacity to transform the moral fabric of healthcare itself. Drawing on the framework of techno-moral change and the three domains of decision, relation and perception, we investigate how agentic AI might reshape the patient-physician relationship and reconfigure core concepts of medical morality. We argue that these shifts, while not fully predictable, demand ethical attention before widespread deployment. Ultimately, the paper calls for integrating ethical

arXiv:2602.16327v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the introduction of cyber-physical genome sequencing and editing technologies, such as CRISPR, researchers can more easily access tools to investigate and create remedies for a variety of topics in genetics and health science (e.g. agriculture and medicine). As the field advances and grows, new concerns present themselves in the ability to predict the off-target behavior. In this work, we explore the underlying biological and chemical model from a data driven perspective. Additionally, we present a machine learning based solution named \textit{Guide-Guard} to predict the behavior of the system given a gRNA in the CRISPR gene-editing process with 84\% accuracy. This solution is able to be trained on multiple different genes at the same time while retaining accuracy.
