There are intra-seasonal decreases in measured vaccine effectiveness for the influenza vaccine, according to a paper published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Investigators from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated daily numbers of flu vaccines from the 2011-12 season to the 2014-15 season in order to determine the contribution of “leaky” vaccines to the observed decline of mVE.

Researchers have been able to identify and track the exchange of genes among bacteria that allow them to become resistant to drugs, according to a new study published in eLife. The findings add to our understanding of how this exchange of genetic material, also known as horizontal gene transfer, happens in bacteria that cause infections in hospitals.

A team of researchers from The University of Western Australia and the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research has developed a new way to more accurately detect breast cancer in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery.
The study, published in Cancer Research, will significantly impact the way surgeons are able to detect microscopic traces of tumor that could previously not be detected by sight, touch or even X-ray imaging during surgery.

Hepatitis C virus is the most common blood-borne infection in the United States and presents a substantial healthcare burden. There is no vaccine to prevent the infection and over half of people who acquire HCV go on to develop chronic illness. However, directing acting antiviral treatments can result in virologic cure in most patients.

The Food and Drug Administration
has granted emergency use authorization to Rutgers’ RUCDR Infinite Biologics and its collaborators for a new collection approach that utilizes saliva as the primary test biomaterial for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the first such approval granted by the federal agency.
The new saliva collection method, which RUCDR developed in partnership with Spectrum Solutions and Accurate Diagnostic Labs, will allow for broader population screening than the current method of nose and throat swabs.

Two stem cell researchers have found an abundance of abnormal stem cells in the lungs of patients who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a leading cause of death worldwide. The team, who used single cell cloning of lung stem cells to make their discovery, is now targeting the cells for new therapeutics.

It turns out that the long stretches of DNA in the human genome that are commonly called “junk DNA” or “dark DNA” may be doing important work. Researchers at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research recently published their findings about stretches of junk DNA that may have a role in how cancers develop.
