A Northwestern University-led team of engineers has developed a new type of wearable device that stimulates skin to deliver various complex sensations, providing more realistic and immersive sensory experiences.

In research published in Science Advances, scientists at Northwestern and Case Western Reserve universities have developed the first polymer-based therapeutic for Huntington’s disease, an incurable, debilitating illness that causes nerve cells to break down in the brain.

A new bioactive material developed by Northwestern scientists may be able to regenerate high-quality cartilage in knee joints, according to a new study.

A new therapeutic strategy developed by Northwestern investigators activated the gene expression necessary to regenerate cartilage growth within just four hours, according to findings from a recent study.

Northwestern University scientists have developed a novel antioxidant biomaterial that someday could provide much-needed relief to people living with chronic pancreatitis, according to a new study published in Science Advances.

Northwestern scientists have developed a new soft, flexible, battery-free implant that allows patients and physicians to monitor bladder fullness in real time.

Investigators have developed a new, first-of-its-kind sticker that enables clinicians to monitor the health of patients’ organs and deep tissues with a simple ultrasound device.

Northwestern University scientists have developed the first selective nanoparticle therapy to prevent allergic reactions, which can range in severity from itchy hives and watery eyes to trouble breathing and even death.

Taking inspiration from the human brain, scientists have developed a new synaptic transistor capable of higher-level thinking, according to results published in the journal Nature.

Northwestern scientists have discovered the cause of the ‘punch-drunk’ feeling associated with sleep deprivation, and have found that it also increased dopamine and synaptic plasticity in the brain.
