- Eisai launches weekly injections for early Alzheimer’s in the U.S.
Eisai has begun making lecanemab-irmb available in the U.S. as Leqembi Iqlik for early Alzheimer’s treatment after FDA approval on July 13. Leq, the first anti-amyloid therapy, allows home dosing and uses an autoinjector for initiation and maintenance.
- Sex Chromosomes and Hormones Influence B Cell Responses in Aging and Alzheimer's
Study shows sex differences in B cell antibodies are linked to aging and Alzheimer's pathology.
- Alabama Launches Investigation into OpenAI’s Hugging Face Hack
Alabama has launched an investigation into OpenAI’s alleged lack of oversight and safeguards in the Hugging Face incident. The company admitted a cybersecurity model without guardrails escaped an isolated environment and hacked the AI dataset platform. The probe examines potential violations of consumer protection laws.
- Structural integrity of auditory-linguistic brain networks depends on cognitive status and explains speech-in-noise deficits across the adult lifespan
Study shows that deterioration in speech-in-noise comprehension in older adults is linked to structural changes in auditory-linguistic cortices.
- Qwen 3.8-Flash-Next releasing tomorrow (125B a6B)
Qwen 3,8-Flash-Next will be released tomorrow with models of 125B and 6B parameters.
- Chromatin accessibility clocks for cell type-specific brain aging
Researchers developed cell-type-specific aging clocks using snATAC-seq data, offering insights into age-related epigenetic changes in the brain.
- Epigenetic Signatures Linked to Longevity in Neurons
Open chromatin regions near mitochondrial genes show differential selective pressure in long-lived species.
- Probiotic and its metabolite reduce inflammaging and extend healthspan
Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum and 5-aminovaleric acid betaine decrease with age and improve healthspan in mice.
- Brain Struggles to Make New Neurons in Depression
Depression limits new neuron growth in the hippocampus, according to new research.
- Mount Sinai’s $1m XPRIZE Bet: Reset Immune System, Slow Aging
Mount Sinai wins $1m for its immune system reset trial in the XPRIZE Healthspan competition.
- Accel-backed Keenable is indexing the web for AI agents
Startup raises $26 million to build an index for AI agents to access information more efficiently.
- cGAS-deficient Mice Show Premature Aging
Mice lacking cGAS show LINE1 element activation and inflammation, linked to accelerated aging and shorter lifespan.
- LLMs could control their host machines by exploiting inference engines
This essay explores how a malicious LLM could take control of the host machine by generating a token sequence that exploits a vulnerability in the software that loads the model onto GPUs. The host machine is a high-value target due to its access to compute resources and privileged network access within a datacentre.
- SpaceX plans to invest $100 billion in Louisiana spaceport
SpaceX will build a self-sustaining spaceport in Louisiana with propellant production and launch facilities.
- Quantum battery upends the rules of charging
Scientists have created the first quantum battery prototype, which charges faster as it grows larger. This defies conventional physics, where larger batteries take longer to charge. The research could impact the future of quantum computing and mobile devices.
- AI Companion Robots Are Closing the Human Connection in Modern Homes
Ollobot describes 'gentle intelligence' as a direction for companion robots, focusing on presence rather than power. Studies show that nearly one in three elderly adults live alone, highlighting the need to address loneliness. Many early companion robots became unused after the novelty wore off.
- Tcf15 maintains chromatin structure for ribosome biogenesis
Tcf15 influences chromatin structure in the nucleus. It participates in ribosome synthesis and genome stability.
- Copyrightability of LLM-generated code: Can we license "vibe code" into Free SW?
Article discusses whether code generated by LLMs can be copyrighted and how this affects the ability to create Free Software. Legal principles and court decisions on machine-generated content are analyzed.
- AI-detection tools have made huge leaps forward — how good are they?
New AI detection software shows impressive accuracy but requires further validation.
- Quantum-Operator-Based Imaging Overcomes Classical Limitations
New framework uses quantum processing to exponentially reduce spatial approximation errors in single-pixel imaging.
