Northwestern Medicine scientists have shown for the first time that the Myosin 9b gene is correlated with lung cancer tumor formation and metastasis.
A new multidisciplinary Huntington’s disease clinic is a one-stop shop where patients can receive comprehensive care to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
A recent study sheds new light on how an animal’s biological clock wakes it up in the morning and puts it to sleep at night.
Recordings of neurons in a little-studied part of the brain associated with memory show an unexpected increase in activity in older brains, a finding that may suggest a new target for therapies to combat memory loss.
A study co-authored by Northwestern Medicine scientist Rintaro Hashizume, MD, PhD, identified the EAG2 potassium channel as a target for treating medulloblastoma.
Northwestern Medicine scientists have found evidence that a protein that has a genetic link to ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases destroys mitochondria in neurons.
Northwestern Medicine scientist Jeffrey Savas, PhD, and colleagues identified a receptor that sorts proteins in synapses, a finding that may augment future treatments for multiple neurological diseases and disorders.
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered for the first time the neurotransmitter pathways that allow stressful fear-related memories become consciously inaccessible.
