Multiple news outlets are reporting that there's currently a measles outbreak of 107 people in 21 states. There's just one problem: that's not from one big outbreak. Even in 2018 when we have a highly effective vaccine, that's a perfectly normal number of measles cases.

 Nearly half of American adults have diabetes or prediabetes. Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease (the most common diabetes complication) by about four times in women but only about two times in men, and women have worse outcomes after a heart attack. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that people with diabetes are at significantly higher risk for many forms of cancer. In fact, diabetes and cancer often coexist in the same individuals.

Understanding bacterial mechanisms that contribute to antimicrobial resistance is important for early detection of infections. β-lactamase production is the most frequent mechanism of resistance. Molecular classification of β-lactamases requires sequence determinations of either the gene encoding the enzyme or the amino acid sequence of the protein. Two Streck ARM-D® Kits detect 13 gene families and 450 allelic variants within β-lactamase and ampC families. The kits enable detection of antimicrobial resistance in the most accurate, fast and cost efficient manner. View Poster

Researchers from Osaka University in Japan have uncovered a key control mechanism of DNA replication with potential implications for better understanding how cells maintain genetic information to prevent diseases or cancer.
The team published their results in July in The EMBO Journal, the flagship publication of the European Molecular Biology Organization.

Telomeres increasingly are on the radars of physicians and healthcare consumers alike, as researchers gain more knowledge about these critical nucleotides, and doctors continue to indicate their belief that telomeres could make useful diagnostic tools. If so, that would open up a new channel of precision medicine testing for clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups.

For the first time, scientists have shown that in certain people living with HIV, a type of antibody called immunoglobulin G3 stops the immune system's B cells from doing their normal job of fighting pathogens. This phenomenon appears to be one way the body tries to reduce the potentially damaging effects of immune-system hyperactivity caused by the presence of HIV, according to the investigators, but in so doing, it also impairs normal immune function.

It's a long-standing mystery why salamanders can perfectly regenerate their tails whereas lizard tails grow back all wrong. By transplanting neural stem cells between species, researchers have discovered that the lizard's native stem cells are the primary factor hampering tail regeneration.

Antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis is a public health threat. TB and other bacteria become resistant to antibiotics by evolving genetic changes over time, which they can do quite quickly because bacterial life cycles are short.

A new clinical trial shows the benefits of an innovative form of radiation therapy, which delivers the radiation in only five sessions instead of the usual 37. The National Cancer Institute estimates that prostate cancer affects over 160,000 people in the United States. In 2018, almost 30,000 people will die from the disease.
