A DNA-based Zika vaccine from Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. and South Korea's GeneOne Life Science Inc. induced anti-Zika immune responses in an early stage human trial, U.S. researchers reported.
Unlike conventional vaccines, which often use inactivated or killed versions of a virus, the Inovio-GeneOne shot is a synthetic vaccine made by reproducing sections of the Zika virus genome in a lab, and then loading them onto a ring of genetic material called a plasmid.

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a bill that requires health providers to post notices in their offices when they are administering stem cell treatments that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The law is part of efforts to crack down on the use and sale of unapproved stem cell treatments, some of which are being hawked as cures for a range of diseases with few or no treatment options, like Lou Gehrig's disease, autism and spinal cord injuries.

With tens of millions of Americans now covered by a high-deductible health plan, hospitals, physicians and clinical laboratories now share a common problem: how to collect the full amount due for a patient who may have an annual deductible of $5,000 (individual) or $10,000 (family).
This is a significant problem for healthcare providers, and DARK Daily has reported on this trend several times, most recently in "Hospitals, Pathology Groups, Clinical Labs Struggling to Collect Payments From Patients With High-deductible Health Plans."

Using the same expertise they've employed to build new organs for patients, scientists at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine and colleagues have engineered micro hearts, lungs and livers that can potentially be used to test new drugs. By combining the micro-organs in a monitored system, the researchers aim to mimic how the human body responds to medications.

Efforts to rid the world of polio have taken another significant step, thanks to research led by University of Queensland bioscience experts and funding from the World Health Organization. A fresh study of the Nanopatch — a microscopic vaccine delivery platform first developed by University of Queensland researchers — has shown the device more effectively combats polio than needles and syringes.

Current anti-AIDS drugs are highly effective at making HIV undetectable and allowing people with the virus to live longer, healthier lives. The treatments, a class of medications called anti-retroviral therapy, also greatly reduce the chance of transmission from person to person.

Scientists have pinpointed a mechanism that helps flu viruses mutate rapidly, which could lead to new ways to fight the flu.
Because flu viruses mutate quickly, flu vaccines have to be redesigned every year.

People who don't get vaccinated are the most likely reason for the steady increase in the rate of measles and major outbreaks in the United States, according to a recent analysis.
The findings, published in JAMA Pediatrics, add to the body of evidence linking failure to vaccinate with the spread of the highly infectious and potentially fatal disease. Once common in the United States, measles was eliminated nationally in 2000 but has made a return in recent years largely because of people who reject vaccinating their children, experts say.

More than 20 years after scientists revealed that mutations in the BRCA1 gene predispose women to breast cancer, Yale scientists have pinpointed the molecular mechanism that allows those mutations to wreak their havoc. The findings, reported Oct. 4 in the journal Nature, will not only help researchers design drugs to combat breast and ovarian cancers, but also help identify women who are at high risk of developing them, the authors say.
