Changes in Macrophages Drive Vulnerability to Lung Infections

An age-related accumulation of a signaling molecule may be one culprit behind older adults’ vulnerability to viral pneumonias, according to a recent study.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Jan 11, 2021

Why COVID-19 Pneumonia Lasts Longer, Causes More Damage

Northwestern Medicine investigators have shown how COVID-19 pneumonia is different from typical cases of pneumonia, spreading across the lungs like multiple wildfires and leaving tissue damage in its wake.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Dec 8, 2020

Double Lung Transplants Save COVID-19 Patients

Double lung transplants performed by Northwestern Medicine surgeons in patients with irreversible lung damage from COVID-19 helped save lives, according to a recent study.
