Encouragingly, providers with greater experience treating transgender patients deliver more equitable care, highlighting the importance of education and clinical exposure.

This research investigates macrophages, immune cells that regulate infection, tissue repair, and cancer responses. Through laboratory experiments and machine-learning models, it aims to predict macrophage function across different diseases and patients. The work could improve prognosis, guide treatments, evaluate drug safety, and forecast recovery following major illnesses and injuries.
