A team of Cambridge scientists working on the intersection between biology and computation has found that random gene activity helps patterns form during development of a model multicellular system.
We all start life as a single cell, which multiplies and develops into specialized cells that carry out different functions.

As a way to spot any community COVID-19 activity early, federal health officials will use the nation's flu surveillance system to look for people who may be infected with the disease. Its first phase will be launched at public health labs that are part of the flu surveillance system in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago and New York City.

On Jan. 31, the Health and Human Services Department declared a public health emergency in response to the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), while noting that the risk to U.S. residents is still low. Before the HHS declaration, the World Health Organization announced that 2019-nCoV would be considered a public health emergency of international concern.

A strain of Clostridioides difficile has been identified, despite being previously misclassified, according to a paper from in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Emerging Infectious Diseases journal. Investigators from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine identified a C-diff strain related to the epidemic ribotype 027 strain which is associated with hospital outbreaks of severe disease.

In the face of outbreaks, consistent problems with high-level disinfection, and design flaws, duodenoscopes have been a hot topic in infection control and public health. Increasingly, the potential for single-use, disposable options have been promoted as a way to reduce risk to patients. Duodenoscopes, often called ERCP scopes as they are involved in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies, are complex medical devices involved in more than 500,000 procedures each year in the U.S.

Clostridioides difficile is a major healthcare-associated pathogen, and infection with this bacteria leads to excess morbidity and mortality, as well as prolonging hospital stays and hospital readmissions. Further, patients who have experienced one episode of recurrent C. difficile infection have a 45% risk for subsequent recurrence.

The constant increase of multidrug-resistant organisms has led to an unavoidable decline of effective antimicrobials. Despite a resurgence of the antibiotic pipeline in recent years, the discovery of novel therapeutic targets remains limited. Obligately lytic bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that target, infect and kill bacterial cells.

Infection Control Today
The dynamic between an infection prevention and control program and hospital administrators can make or break infection control efforts within a healthcare facility. Infection prevention isn’t easy. It often involves delivering bad news—findings of healthcare-associated infections, poor hand hygiene compliance or failures in practices that increase risk for patients and staff.

Scientists have created one of the most detailed maps of breast cancer ever achieved, revealing how genetic changes shape the physical tumor landscape, according to research funded by Cancer Research UK and published in Nature Cancer.
An international team of scientists, brought together by an ambitious £20 million Grand Challenge award from Cancer Research UK, has developed intricate maps of breast tumor samples, with a resolution smaller than a single cell.
