A discussion concerning whether to conceive Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems as responsible moral entities, also known as "artificial moral agents" (AMAs), has been going on for some time. In this regard, we argue that the notion of "moral agency" is to be attributed only to humans based on their autonomy and sentience, which AI systems lack. We analyze human responsibility in the presence of AI systems in terms of meaningful control and due diligence and argue against fully automated systems in medicine. With this perspective in mind, we focus on the use of AI-based diagnostic systems and shed light on the complex networks of persons, organizations and artifacts that come to be when AI systems are designed, developed, and used in medicine. We then discuss relational criteria of judgment in support of the attribution of responsibility to humans when adverse events are caused or induced by errors in AI systems.

Advances in neuromicrobiology and related omics technologies have reinforced the idea that unseen microbes play critical roles in human cognition and behaviour. Included in this research is evidence indicating that gut microbes, through direct and indirect pathways, can influence aggression, anger, irritability and antisocial behaviour. Moreover, gut microbes can manufacture chemicals that are known to compromise cognition.

Ataxin-2 (Atx2), an RNA-binding protein, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of RNA, intracellular metabolism, and translation within the cellular environment. Although both the Sm-like (LSm) and LSm-associated (LSmAD) domains are considered to associated with RNA binding, there is still a lack of experimental evidence supporting their functions. To address this, we designed and constructed several recombinants containing the RNA-binding domain (RBD) of Atx2.

The vascular system is primarily responsible for orchestrating the underlying healing processes to achieve tissue regeneration, thus the promotion of angiogenic events could be a useful strategy to repair injured tissues. Among several approaches to stimulate tissue regeneration, non-invasive devices are currently widely diffused. Complex Magnetic Fields (CMFs) are innovative pulsed multifrequency electromagnetic fields used for their promising results in clinical applications, such as diabetic foot treatment or edema resorption.

Background: Climate change is an urgent global threat, with women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) disproportionately facing adverse health outcomes. Gendered roles, combined with socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental factors, exacerbate women's vulnerabilities, increasing the burden of mental health issues, water insecurity, sanitation challenges, and caregiving responsibilities.
Objectives: This review seeks to systematically examine the intersection between climate change and gendered health vulnerabilities, with a particular focus on women.

Biological anthropologists have long engaged in qualitative data analysis (QDA), though such work is not always foregrounded. In this article, we discuss the role of rigorous and systematic QDA in biological anthropology and consider how it can be understood and advanced. We first establish what kinds of qualitative data and analysis are used in biological anthropology.
