Scientists have discovered a molecular defect that promotes the pathologic immune response in lupus and demonstrated that reversing the defect may potentially reverse the disease.
A study has shown the majority of children and teens with chronic skin diseases feel stigmatized by peers for their condition, are sometimes bullied, and often suffer from depression and anxiety.
Faculty members and fourth-year medical students were recognized for academic and clinical excellence during Feinberg’s Honors Day, held on May 10 in the Hughes auditorium.
More than 450 alumni and guests returned to Feinberg on April 18, 19 and 20 to reconnect with former classmates, learn about the medical school’s latest developments and achievements, and reminisce about their medical school experiences.
Fourth-year Feinberg students excitedly tore open envelopes to reveal their residency matches at this year’s Match Day celebration on March 15.
In findings published in Nature, scientists may have found a way around the limitations of engineered T-cells by borrowing a few tricks from cancer itself.
Twelve Feinberg faculty members were named to the 2023 “Highly Cited Researchers” list, published by Clarivate Analytics. The annual list identifies investigators who have demonstrated significant influence in their field through the publication of highly cited publications during the last decade.
A newly developed synthetic melanin, mimicking the natural melanin in human skin, can be applied topically to injured skin, where it accelerates wound healing.
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.
