Cedars-Sinai investigators have detailed a new way that bacteria use iron to cooperate and resist antibiotic treatment. The study, led by the Cedars-Sinai departments of Biomedical Sciences and Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Microbiology and is the first to show this type of antibiotic cross-protection.

Study Reveals Genetic Diversity of a Particularly Problematic Pathogen
Researchers at UC San Diego have used a systems biology approach to parse the genetic diversity of Clostridioides difficile, a particularly problematic pathogen, particularly in health care settings.
Leading Scientist Working to Complete the Human Genome to Join UCSC Faculty
Leading scientist known for working to complete the human genome will join UCSC faculty; Karen Miga is a longtime Genomics Institute researcher, recently named “one to watch” by the journal Nature.
Whole Genome Sequencing Offers New Diagnostic Insights for Multiple Myeloma Precursor Conditions
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center have shown that whole genome sequencing can help determine which patients with a multiple myeloma precursor condition, called MGUS or smoldering myeloma, progress to full-blown cancer
