A recent study co-authored by Northwestern Medicine scientists demonstrates the molecular mechanisms that may underlie left ventricular hypertrophy, a pattern of cardiac injury common in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Northwestern Medicine scientists showed how the herpes simplex virus exploits microtubule plus-end tracking proteins to move within human cells, providing insights into how viruses engage with host transport networks.
A new book co-authored by David Cella, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Medical Social Sciences, offers health care providers a way to integrate patients’ voices into measures of health care performance.
Lindsay Stolzenburg, a PhD student in the Driskill Graduate Program in Life Sciences, studies the role of microRNAs to identify target genes that may be involved in cystic fibrosis.
Northwestern scientists have developed a microfluidic device to sort neural stem cell populations, making them easier to study, a tool may lead to a better understanding of how stem cells function.
SchizConnect, the first neuroimaging meta-database dedicated to clinical schizophrenia research, will allow scientists to see broader results across many more subjects than ever before.
Northwestern Medicine scientists pinpointed a master switch that orchestrates thousands of genetic pathways an internal body clock takes to dictate how and when our pancreas must produce insulin and control blood sugar.
Northwestern Medicine mentors will help junior faculty at three universities in Nigeria develop research skills during a five-year program funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Francis Giles, MD, chief of Hematology/Oncology in the Department of Medicine, led a clinical study to test the efficacy and safety of a kinase inhibitor for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia.
