Nearly 400 nontravel-related Zika infections will occur in Florida before the end of the summer, according to new projections by biostatisticians at the University of Florida and other institutions. In addition, the virus is projected to spread to several other Southeastern states with handfuls of cases projected to pop up from Texas to South Carolina and even Oklahoma.

Computational studies published in the last couple of years have posited different major risk factors for cancer, from random mutations in stem cells to environmental carcinogens. Testing these theories in mice, researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and the University of Cambridge in the U.K. found that mutations in stem cells do play a significant role, according to a study published in Cell.

Human noroviruses, the leading viral cause of acute diarrhea around the world, have been difficult to study because scientists had not found a way to grow them in the lab. Now, more than 40 years after Dr. Albert Kapikian identified human noroviruses as a cause of severe diarrhea, scientists at Baylor College of Medicine have, for the first time, succeeded at growing noroviruses in laboratory cultures of human intestinal epithelial cells.

Doctors have long known that many early stage breast cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy don't actually need it to prevent recurrence of the disease after surgery. But they haven't known exactly which patients might safely skip the toxic treatment.

Clearance by the Food and Drug Administration of a new rapid, multimarker genetic test designed to identify bacteria that are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics was considered significant enough that the federal agency issued a press release announcing that the test was cleared and now available for use by physicians and clinical laboratories in the United States.
In the race to develop molecular assays and genetic tests for infectious disease that deliver improved sensitivity and specificity with a faster time-to-answer, this new test offers all three benefits.

Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death in the United States, affecting more than 795,000 Americans every year. But what if doctors were better able to predict who is likely to have a stroke, providing greater opportunity for prevention? Researchers have uncovered four biomarkers that could help do just that.

As summer drew near, the nation's health officials took stock of whether they could handle a surge in demand for Zika diagnostic tests if disease-carrying mosquitoes began to proliferate.
A survey of state and local laboratories found enough capacity to perform 3,500 to 5,000 tests a week for the Zika virus.

A new biomaterial can be used to study how and when stem cells sense the mechanics of their surrounding environment. With further development, this biomaterial could be used to control when immature stem cells differentiate into more specialized cells for regenerative and tissue-engineering-based therapies.
