An inflammatory signaling protein called interleukin-6 has been linked to the progression of acute myeloid leukemia, representing a potential target for future treatments of the disease.

An emerging therapy showed promise in patients with relapsed B-cell lymphoma who are not ideal candidates for stem cell transplants.

A new study has identified a molecular switch, through a protein called CDK9, that plays an early and critical role in the skin stem cell differentiation process.

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered novel mechanisms underlying transcription elongation, the process of synthesizing RNA from DNA.

First-year medical students donned their white coats for the first time at Founders’ Day, an annual event that celebrates incoming medical students and marks the official start of the academic year.

An immune system kinase promotes tumor inflammation and progression, according to a study published in Nature Communications.

Northwestern Medicine investigators have identified a new type of retinal ganglion cell, neurons that encode the visual environment and transmit information back to the brain.

Samantha Schroth, an MD/PhD candidate in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Feinberg, has received the prestigious Presidential Fellowship at Northwestern University.

Investigators identified a molecular “brake” that can reduce the activation of damaging cells known to cause primary graft dysfunction — a leading culprit in lung transplant failure.

A recent study showed that an antibiotic stewardship program was associated with a 50 percent reduction in antibiotic prescribing.
