A scientific analysis of nearly 4,000 mutations deliberately engineered into the BRCA1 gene will immediately benefit people undergoing genetic testing for breast or ovarian cancer risk. Many people obtaining genetic screenings previoulsy have learned that their BRCA1 gene contains a variant of uncertain significance.

Artificial neural networks — algorithms inspired by connections in the brain — have "learned" to perform a variety of tasks, from pedestrian detection in self-driving cars, to analyzing medical images, to translating languages. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego are training artificial neural networks to predict new stable materials.

Antimicrobial resistance — the ability of a microorganism (bacteria, virus, fungi, parasite) to resist the effects of a drug — is a serious, complex and costly public health problem.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year in the United States at least two million people develop serious infections caused by bacteria resistant to antibacterial drugs, and at least 23,000 people die as a result.

Zombie cells are the ones that can't die but are equally unable to perform the functions of a normal cell. These zombie, or senescent, cells are implicated in a number of age-related diseases. And with a new letter in Nature, Mayo Clinic researchers have expanded that list.

Medical providers specializing in HIV have demonstrated incomplete understanding of the Affordable Care Act, according to a study recently published in Clinical Infectious Diseases. However, providers located in states with Medicaid expansion displayed more optimism about patients' HIV outcomes due to the ACA.

There are nicotine patches to help quit smoking, and then there's this: patches of actual skin, genetically engineered to produce an enzyme that digests cocaine, and, when transplanted onto mice, arms them against otherwise-lethal doses of the drug. A study on the skin-patch strategy, which the authors hope could one day lead to a means of treating addiction and preventing overdoses in humans, appears in Nature Biomedical Engineering.

A single dose of baloxavir marboxil was superior to placebo in controlling influenza symptoms in patients with uncomplicated disease, and did not appear to have any clinically significant adverse effects, according to new findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Baloxavir marboxil is a selective inhibitor of influenza cap-dependent endonuclease, and has demonstrated activity in preclinical models with both influenza types A and B, including resistant strains.

Researchers have identified compounds that could prevent malaria parasites from being able to infect mosquitoes, halting the spread of disease.
Preventing transmission of malaria is a key part of efforts to eliminate the disease. A person can be cured of the disease using drugs that wipe out the replicating form of the parasite, but still carry dormant, sexual forms.
