Disputed The sentence appears verbatim on the supplied UNMC page, and Nature’s Feb. 24, 2026 Comment article shows the same wording. But Nature attributes the article to 23 named coauthors — with Raman Gangakhedkar listed as one coauthor, not the sole author — so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Raman Gangakhedkar quote.
