The FDA has granted U.S. market authorization for the first rapid hepatitis C virus test that can be used in patient care settings and deliver results in about one hour. The new technology – validated through a collaboration between RADx Tech at The National Institutes of Health, FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – could help patients with positive tests begin treatment right away, rather than the current approach, which requires lengthy laboratory processing.

Meet the researchers at NIDDK who are dedicated to understanding rare diseases. Dr. Theo Heller and his team from our Translational Hepatology Section are studying Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), a chronic liver disease that is present in only 5-16 of every 100,000 people. Thanks to the contributions of clinical study participants, researchers hope to understand PSC better and develop early diagnosis methods.

A functional, healthy bladder is something that many of us take for granted. Yet millions of Americans deal with bladder issues, ranging from temporary inconveniences to long-lasting conditions. While many bladder disorders can be managed with non-invasive solutions, some conditions may require surgery to restore bladder function. Thousands of bladder surgeries are performed every year in the U.S., yet significant improvements in bladder augmentation and monitoring have not been seen in many decades. A collaborative NIH-funded team at Northwestern University is working to change that. They are tackling the issues from two different vantage points: improving bladder function by utilizing a cell-seeded, biodegradable construct that both augments the bladder and facilitates tissue regeneration, along with enhancing patient monitoring by developing an implantable bladder sensor. Their research, many years in the making, has reached an important clinical milestone—evaluating their technologies in non-human primate models.
