Patients who live in rural communities, Hispanic patients and Black patients with pre-existing diabetic retinopathy are less likely to receive annual diabetic eye exams than white patients, according to a recent Northwestern Medicine study.
Investigators have demonstrated how molecular profiling of tumors can be used to help predict treatment response and survival in patients with meningiomas, the most common type of primary brain tumor, according to a recent study published in Nature Medicine.
A combination therapy improved progression-free survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with genetic mutations compared to either therapy alone or sequentially, according to results from a Northwestern Medicine-led clinical trial.
Northwestern Medicine investigators have identified distinct T-cell responses associated with patient outcomes in unvaccinated individuals with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, according to findings published in Nature Immunology.
An international team of investigators have discovered that oligodendrocytes contribute approximately one-third of plaque formation alongside neurons in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience.
Investigators have discovered that aberrant activation of a specific oncoprotein drives key tumor promoting changes in the prostate tissue microenvironment during cancer progression, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications.
Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered a new way in which neurons in the brain “forget” associations that help guide behavior and habits, according to a study published in Cell Reports.
Scientists have discovered how interactions between RNA and the TOP1 essential enzyme, which is overexpressed in many human cancers, regulate DNA during transcription and may inform the creation of new cancer therapies, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Molecular Cell.
