Clinical Breakthroughs
Jul 31, 2023

Study Examines Performance of Serial COVID Testing

Testing performance of rapid antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2 improved for both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients after testing multiple times in 48-hour intervals, according to findings published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Disease Discoveries
Jul 28, 2023

Neighborhood Racial Segregation Linked to Shorter Life Spans

Black residents living in highly segregated neighborhoods have significantly shortened life expectancies, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study.

Disease Discoveries
Jul 27, 2023

Antipsychotic Drugs Work Differently Than Scientists Believed

Scientists have discovered that antipsychotic drugs – which inhibit the overactive dopamine causing the symptoms of schizophrenia – interact with a completely different neuron than originally thought.

Scientific Advances
Jul 26, 2023

New DNA Identification Approach Could Improve Monitoring for Chronic Diseases  

Investigators led by Shana Kelley, PhD, have developed a novel approach for identifying sequences of artificial DNA with differing levels of binding to other small molecules, which could improve diagnostic monitoring for patients with chronic diseases.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Jul 25, 2023

Only 60 Percent Of At-Risk Women Report Receiving Counseling on Heart Health at Postpartum Visits

Despite having risk factors for heart disease, only 60 percent of women reported receiving counseling on optimizing their heart health at their six-week postpartum visits, according to a new Northwestern study.

Disease Discoveries
Jul 24, 2023

Dissolving Cardiac Device Monitors, Treats Heart Disease

A newly developed wireless implant monitors and treats heart disease, then harmlessly dissolves inside the body, bypassing the need for extraction.

Disease Discoveries
Jul 21, 2023

New Therapeutic Target for Parkinson’s Disease Discovered

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a new mechanism by which mutations in a specific gene contribute to familial forms of Parkinson’s disease, which opens an avenue for new therapeutics.

Scientific Advances
Jul 19, 2023

Pioneering New Methods to Understand Protein Folding
