Scientific Advances
Sep 28, 2023

Mapping Neural Activity Patterns and Odor Perception  

A new Northwestern Medicine study has demonstrated how differences in neural activity within the brain’s olfactory and orbital cortices cause people to perceive the same odors differently, according to findings published in Nature Neuroscience.

Scientific Advances
Sep 25, 2023

Investigating the Link Between Iron Deficiency and Regulation of Cell Growth

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new mechanisms by which iron deficiency inhibits cell growth and proliferation in eukaryotic cells, findings that could improve the understanding of cancer growth and the development of targeted cancer therapies.

Bethany Ekesa, Associate Director of SPARC, Honored with Jean E. Shedd University Citizenship Award

Bethany Ekesa, associate director of Feinberg’s Sponsored Project and Research Catalysts (SPARC) team, was selected as the recipient of the 2023 Jean E. Shedd University Citizenship Award.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Sep 21, 2023

Combination Immunotherapy Shows No Additional Benefit for Most Advanced Cancers

A combination immunotherapy treatment of nivolumab plus ipilimumab was associated with no improvement in survival for advanced cancers other than melanoma, when compared to nivolumab alone, according to a recent Northwestern Medicine meta-analysis published in JAMA Oncology.

Disease Discoveries
Sep 21, 2023

Novel Intercellular Signaling Mechanisms Promote Melanoma Growth

Investigators have discovered novel intercellular “crosstalk” between epidermal keratinocytes and melanoma cells that promotes cancer growth and metastasis, which could also serve as biomarkers for early cancer detection, according to a recent Northwestern Medicine study.

Disease Discoveries
Sep 20, 2023

Protein Controls Lymphoma Cell Metabolism, Promotes Cancer Growth

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered how the PD-1 protein controls essential metabolic processes in tumor cells to promote cancer growth in T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, according to a study published in Nature Cancer.

Disease Discoveries
Sep 19, 2023

Study Identifies Novel Cellular Mechanisms Promoting Growth of Uterine Fibroids  

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel molecular pathway that promotes tumor growth in uterine fibroids, findings that could inform the development of new targeted therapies, according to a recent study.

Research Day 2023 Celebrates Scientific Discoveries and Collaboration

Feinberg investigators, students, trainees and faculty celebrated discovery and presented scientific research at Feinberg’s 17th annual Lewis Landsberg Research Day on Sept. 14.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Sep 13, 2023

Physicians and Medical Students Delay Childbearing, Family Building Due to Medical Training

More than 60 percent of physicians and medical students reporting delaying having children and building a family due to medical training, with half also having regretted doing so, according to recent survey findings published in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Scientific Advances
Sep 7, 2023

New Genetic Variants Associated with Resting Heart Rate and Cardiovascular Disease Risk 

Investigators have identified more than 60 previously unknown genetic variants associated with resting heart rate that may also contribute to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, according to findings published in Nature Communications.
