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.
A first-of-its kind review conducted by Northwestern Medicine investigators has found that single-session interventions can significantly improve mental health outcomes in both youth and adults, according to recent findings.
Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered unique genetic and structural changes in endothelial cells in the brain after disrupting the blood-brain barrier, which may inform new therapeutic targets that promote blood-brain barrier repair after neurovascular injuries, according to a recent study.
Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered new mechanisms underlying cellular adhesion and repair, findings that could inform the development of new therapeutics that boost cellular repair after tissue injury, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Cell Biology.
Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered how proteins expressed in umbilical cord blood at birth evolve during gestational development and could serve as biomarkers to inform new precision care strategies for infants born prematurely, according to a recent study.
