Investigators from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine have discovered new molecular mechanisms behind a genetic heart disorder that can increase the risk of sudden death in children and young adults, according to a recent study published in PNAS.
Opioid testing information was unavailable in half of injury death investigations in the U.S. and in 1 in 10 unintentional overdose death investigations conducted in 2021, according to a recent Northwestern Medicine study published in JAMA.
Feinberg’s chapter of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) medical honor society welcomed 42 new members during a ceremony on March 13, recognizing outstanding educational achievements and contributions to medicine.
Northwestern Medicine investigators have identified novel mechanisms regulating the development of the spinal column during embryonic development, findings that could inform new treatments for congenital scoliosis and other related birth defects.
Scientists have discovered that psychological stress can induce immune responses to food that can cause symptoms when that food is eaten again, findings that demonstrate the potential role of psychological stress in food-induced symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), according to a recent study published in Gastroenterology.
Investigators in the laboratory of Gemma Carvill, PhD, have discovered novel molecular underpinnings of Dravet syndrome, a rare genetic form of epilepsy in children, that may serve as promising therapeutic targets, according to a recent study.
A team of experts led by Northwestern Medicine have developed a standardized approach that will improve the measurement of esophageal function to better diagnose upper gastrointestinal disorders, detailed in a recent publication.
Scientists have discovered a unique proteomic signature expressed in the blood of persons living with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) that is associated with age and higher risk for heart failure, findings that can help identify new therapeutic targets for heart failure among both people living with and without HIV.
Hear from current resident physicians at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University as they share their personal journeys and explain why they chose their specific fields of medicine.
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that inhibiting the GATA6 protein in mouse models of colon cancer reduced tumor growth and improved survival, underscoring the potential of a new therapeutic target for colon cancer, according to a recent study published in Science Advances.
