Confirmed local transmission of Zika virus in Texas and Florida have heightened the need for early and accurate indicators of self-sustaining transmission in high risk areas across the southern United States. Given Zika's low reporting rates and the geographic variability in suitable conditions, a cluster of reported cases may reflect diverse scenarios, ranging from independent introductions to a self-sustaining local epidemic.

It's an understatement to say that tests run by clinical laboratories and pathology groups must be accurate, consistent and reliable. Thus, research conducted at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, which concluded that genetic tests from two different lab companies produce different results when given to the same patient, is of critical importance.

Scientists from University College London and Imperial College London in the United Kingdom have identified new genetic locations that might make some people more prone to developing Type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, and the numbers have skyrocketed in recent years. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes has almost quadrupled in the past few decades, from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014.

Using new gene-editing technology, researchers have rewired mouse stem cells to fight inflammation caused by arthritis and other chronic conditions. Such stem cells, known as SMART cells, develop into cartilage cells that produce a biologic anti-inflammatory drug that, ideally, will replace arthritic cartilage and simultaneously protect joints and other tissues from damage that occurs with chronic inflammation.
