Primary care researchers are increasingly at the forefront of developing innovations and new research methods to address complex issues in health care, including multi-morbidity, social determinants of health, health equity, managing population health in clinical practice, patient satisfaction, and provider burnout. Research demonstrates that "primary care is the only health care component where an increased supply is associated with better population health and more equitable outcomes." As a primary care specialty, family medicine has evolved beyond its initial focus on clinical practice and education to realizing the imperative for the discipline to robustly engage in research and embrace the responsibility to generate the evidence that drives changes in primary care practice and policy.

Heynh.) primary inflorescence, which comprises the rachis and peduncle, collectively referred to as the main stem for simplicity.

Certain lipid types play essential roles in autophagy; yet the precise mechanisms regulating lipid composition during autophagy remain unknown. Here, we explored the role of the Osh family proteins in the modulating lipid composition during autophagy in budding yeast.

However, reports of the physiological consequences of substrate cleavage are limited. Additionally, the manner in which caspase cleaves only a subset of substrates in the non-lethal scenario remains to be elucidated.
