Michael Kratsios, President Trump’s science adviser, proposed overhauling how the government funds research. Democrats said Mr. Trump’s actions had weakened science.

The evolutionary emergence of complex multicellularity in bacteria and fungi, such as the ability for mycelial growth, is strongly associated with increased genomic carriage of biosynthetic machinery ...

Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear.

Abstract The crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is escalating while the antibiotic pipeline remains stagnant. Our bibliometric analysis of eight decades of literature reveals a critical imbalanc...

Until now, we haven’t had research that tracks how accessing hormones or surgeries affects how much trans people use mental health services and medications.

Transgender and gender diverse (‘trans’) people may be at increased risk of mortality, particularly from external causes, however, large-scale, popula…

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing threat to global health, contributing to an estimated 4.95 million deaths in 2019 (1). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is among the most persistent and clinically challenging pathogens, causing infections ranging from bacteremia and pneumonia to osteomyelitis and endocarditis in both healthcare and community settings. MRSA’s ability to evade multiple antibiotic classes, particularly β-lactams, has made it a priority pathogen for new treatment strategies.

‘Inclusive, culturally safe’ care for LGBTQIA+ patients means more than just rainbow posters in the waiting room.

Bacterial superantigens (sAg) have been shown to induce T cell hyperactivation through cross linking between MHC class II on antigen presenting cells and certain TCRs on T lymphocytes. Here the author...

Rifaximin use, particularly in patients with liver cirrhosis, may be compromising the clinical use of daptomycin.

The opportunistic human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus uses an array of protein sensing systems called two-component systems (TCS) to sense environmental signals and adapt its physiology in response b...
