A Note from the Editor

This edition brings four titles that reflect where clinical medicine and biomedical science are moving in 2026 — from the definitive reference works in dermatopathology to the intersection of AI and aesthetic practice, and a contribution to neuroethics that asks what it means to translate human moral judgment into artificial systems. Each title passed our one test: would a senior clinician, researcher, or medical librarian find it genuinely useful?
