causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised hosts, including hospitalized neonates. This pathogen is intrinsically resistant to fluconazole, while uncommon strains resistant to multiple antifungal drugs, including voriconazole, amphotericin B, and echinocandins, have also been reported from healthcare environments. Thus, understanding how spread, persist, and adapt to healthcare settings could help us develop better infection management strategies.

Most stars in today's Universe reside within spheroids, which are bulges of spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. Their formation is still an unsolved problem. Infrared/submillimetre-bright galaxies at high redshifts have long been suspected to be related to spheroid formation.

Previously considered junk or non-functional, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged over the past few decades as pivotal components in both physiological and pathological processes, including cancer. Neuroblastoma-associated transcript-1 (NBAT-1) was initially discovered a decade ago as a risk-associated tumor suppressor lncRNA in neuroblastoma (NB). Subsequent studies have consistently demonstrated that NBAT-1 serves as a dedicated tumor suppressor in many cancers.

In neuroscience and clinical diagnostics, electroencephalography (EEG) is a crucial instrument for capturing neural activity. However, this signal is polluted by different artifacts like muscle activity, eye blinks, environmental interference, etc., which makes it more difficult to retrieve important information from the signal.

Snakebites profoundly impact the rural population of tropical nations, leading to significant socio-economic repercussions. Polyvalent antivenom (PAV) therapy faces several limitations, including intra-specific variations and poor efficacy against some major toxins and low molecular mass, poorly immunogenic toxins, which contribute to increased mortality and morbidity rates. Innovative strategies for developing novel antivenoms are continuously explored to address these challenges.
