Disease Discoveries
Mar 5, 2015

Exploring Bacterial Competition in Reproductive Tract Infections

Northwestern Medicine scientists have shown that the bacteria that cause gonorrhea may have evolved mechanisms to stimulate white blood cells into killing other bacteria, promoting the survival of gonorrhea bacteria in the human reproductive tract.

Disease Discoveries
Feb 20, 2015

Exploring Age-Related Differences in Herpes Encephalitis

Northwestern Medicine scientists have revealed age-dependent differences in cellular mechanisms for protection from herpes simplex virus encephalitis.

Researchers Receive Commercialization Grant to Develop Viral Inhibitors

Jonathan Leis, PhD, professor in Microbiology-Immunology, received a grant to support his research on small molecule inhibitors that block the replication of enveloped viruses such as herpes and HIV.

Disease Discoveries
Jan 29, 2015

Legionnaires’ Disease Provides New Insights on Bacterial Systems

Northwestern Medicine scientists demonstrated the ability of a protein, Cas2, in Legionella pneumophila to cleave nucleic acids resulting in increased infectivity in amoebae, its host organism and transmission vehicle for human infection of Legionnaires’ disease.

Scientific Advances
Nov 18, 2014

Genes Revealed that May Impact the Colonization of Beneficial Bacteria

Northwestern Medicine scientists identified bacteria genes and key factors that are required for host colonization in squid, which may lead to better understanding how humans develop symbiotic relationships with beneficial bacteria.

Disease Discoveries
Oct 15, 2014

New Method Tests Effectiveness of MS Treatments

Northwestern Medicine scientists created a more objective, precise and quicker way to test the effectiveness of multiple sclerosis drugs that may promote the repair of myelin, a protective sheath on neurons.

Scientific Advances

Northwestern Medicine scientists uncovered a molecular mechanism behind the regulation of the immune system in the gut.

Scientific Advances
Sep 18, 2014

New Technique Used to Investigate Protein Refolding in Viruses

Scientists used a new technique, fast photochemical oxidation of proteins, to better understand how enveloped viruses infect host cells.

Scientific Advances
Jul 14, 2014

Protein Pak2 May be an Essential Regulator in T-cell Development

Hyewon Phee, PhD, assistant professor in Microbiology-Immunology, showed that a lack of the protein Pak2 in immune cells may lead to immunodeficiency in patients.

Education News
