Medical professionals are not going to stop using AI tools to manage growing workloads. Organizations should prioritize bolstering security protocols to limit their blast radius.
OWASP GenAI Security Project Gets Update, New Tools Matrix
In recognition of 21 generative AI risks, the standards groups recommends that companies take separate but linked approaches to defending GenAI and agentic AI systems.
Neurocrine will pay $2.9B for Soleno and its Prader-Willi medicine
Neurocrine Biosciences is joining the M&A bonanza with a $2.9 billion takeover of profitable rare disease drugmaker Soleno Therapeutics. Neurocrine will pay $53 per share, a 34% premium to its last closing price, the companies …
Stipple Bio launches with $100M to find more precise targets on cancer proteins
It’s no secret that cancer drug development is full of bandwagons. Companies see a promising target, and crowd around it (see PD-1xVEGF or HER2 for recent examples). But two cancer biologists — Aaron Ring at the …
AI is changing how small online sellers decide what to make
For years Mike McClary sold the Guardian LTE Flashlight, a heavy-duty black model, online through his small outdoor brand. The product, designed for brightness and durability, became one of his most popular items ever. Even after he stopped offering it around 2017, customers kept sending him emails asking where they could buy it. When McClary […]
China’s Syneron raises $150M for peptides, adding to last year’s $100M
Syneron Bio said it raised a Series B round worth $150 million, which it will use to back the development of a drug class that’s attracted growing interest because of its potential to borrow some …

VML Health urges marketers to shift from lifespan to ‘joyspan’ as patient goals evolve
VML Health has published a report about 10 trends defining the future of healthcare, making the case that pharma marketers must adapt to patients shifting their goals from lifespan to “joyspan.”
Skeleton-based Coherence Modeling in Narratives
arXiv:2604.02451v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modeling coherence in text has been a task that has excited NLP researchers since a long time. It has applications in detecting incoherent structures and helping the author fix them. There has been recent work in using neural networks to extract a skeleton from one sentence, and then use that […]
An Explainable Vision-Language Model Framework with Adaptive PID-Tversky Loss for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Diagnosis
arXiv:2604.02502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) diagnosis remains a critical clinical challenge, with diagnosis heavily dependent on labor-intensive manual interpretation of multi-view Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), leading to substantial inter-observer variability and diagnostic delays. Existing vision-language models simultaneously fail to address the extreme class imbalance prevalent in clinical segmentation datasets while preserving […]
Managing Diabetic Retinopathy with Deep Learning: A Data Centric Overview
arXiv:2604.02448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes, and one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Although automated detection and grading, with Deep Learning (DL), can reduce the burden on ophthalmologists, it is constrained by the limited availability of high-quality datasets. Existing repositories often remain geographically […]
Comparing the Impact of Pedagogy-Informed Custom and General-Purpose GAI Chatbots on Students’ Science Problem-Solving Processes and Performance Using Heterogeneous Interaction Network Analysis
arXiv:2604.03022v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Problem solving plays an essential role in science education, and generative AI (GAI) chatbots have emerged as a promising tool for supporting students’ science problem solving. However, general-purpose chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT), which often provide direct, ready-made answers, may lead to students’ cognitive offloading. Prior research has rarely focused on custom […]
