Scientists say they've developed a much cheaper and faster technology for mapping the genetic makeup of a living organism.
They demonstrated the technology by decoding the DNA of the mosquito species that transmits the Zika virus.

Instead of oil, coal or even solar energy, self-sustaining bacterial fuel cells may power the future.
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York, have developed the next step in microbial fuel cells with the first micro-scale self-sustaining cell, which generated power for 13 straight days through symbiotic interactions of two types of bacteria.

Boston Children's Hospital via Infection Control Today
Newborns are highly vulnerable to infections and don't respond optimally to most vaccines because their young immune systems typically mount weak antibody responses. Now, researchers at Boston Children's Hospital report achieving strong vaccine responses in newborn animals, including monkeys — the final preclinical model before human trials — by adding compounds known as adjuvants that boost the immune response.

Rising rates of superbug tuberculosis are threatening to derail decades of progress against the contagious disease, experts said recently, and new drugs powerful enough to treat them are few and far between.
TB kills more people each year than any other infectious disease, including HIV and AIDS. In 2015 alone, it is estimated to have killed 1.8 million people, according to the World Health Organization.

Patients with breast cancer who received trastuzumab (Herceptin) for nine weeks during post-surgery chemotherapy might experience improved health outcomes compared with patients who received the drug for 12 months. Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody used to treat HER2 receptor-positive breast cancer.

What would it mean to pathology groups if they could grow heart cells that mimicked a cardiac patient's own cells? What if clinical laboratories could determine in vitro, using grown cells, if specific patients would have positive or negative reactions to specific heart drugs before they were prescribed the drug? How would that impact the pathology and medical laboratory industries?

A new paper from an MIT-led team demonstrates that Alaska can offer a significant foothold for Asian flu viruses, enabling them to enter North America. The research also shows that the region serves as a fertile breeding ground for new flu strains.

Still handwriting on tape to identify your vials? Not cool. Printing your own customized barcode labels containing all of your data that scan into your LIMS with 100% accuracy? Very cool. Those same labels staying put on vials put in cryogenic storage? Even cooler.

Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health via Infection Control Today
Transmission of the mosquito-borne dengue virus appears to be largely driven by infections centered in and around the home, with the majority of cases related to one another occurring in people who live less than 200 meters apart, new research led by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the University of Florida suggests. The findings, published in the March 24 issue of Science, offer new insights into the spread of diseases like dengue — which infects more than 300 million people each year — and how governments and individuals might put in place more targeted and more effective mosquito control programs.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified cell surface markers specific for the very earliest stem cells in the human embryo. These cells are thought to possess great potential for replacing damaged tissue but until now have been difficult to distinguish from classical embryonic stem cells. The study is published in the prestigious journal Cell Stem Cell.
