I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.
 quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads:

“If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.”
The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.

Bacteria that adhere to epithelial cells, form intracellular bacterial communities or transition to filamentous forms are morphotype-positive. Research in #JournalSpectrum shows that morphotype-positive UPEC strains harbor a more virulence genes. asm.social/2jZ
A mode of morphological transformation cycle of MP UPEC. This mode includes the following three stages of MP UPEC invasion of the urine epithelium: UPEC initially adopts a rod-shaped form, adheres to epithelial cells, and penetrates them through fimbriae and other adhesins. It then replicates extensively within these cells, transitioning from a dispersed rod-shaped to a dense, clustered, spherical form known as IBCs. Once the host epithelial cells perish, numerous UPEC are released into the external environment in a filamentous form. These UPEC then revert to their original rod-shaped form, seeking new epithelia of the urinary tract to adhere to, thus completing a full cycle of morphological transformation, leading to a constant invasion of the urinary tract system. UPEC, uropathogenic Escherichia coli; IBC, intracellular bacterial community; MP, morphotype positive.
