Scientific Advances
Jan 11, 2019

Mitochondria Linked to Autoimmunity

Northwestern Medicine scientists have demonstrated that a specific mitochondrial protein complex is essential to the immunosuppressive activity of regulatory T-cells.

Scientific Advances
Nov 13, 2018

Epigenetics: Landscape of Disease

The Simpson Querrey Center for Epigenetics is connecting the Northwestern academic and medical community to integrate the study of epigenetics into science and clinical care.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Oct 11, 2018

Diabetes Drug Reduces Risk of Heart Attacks, Strokes From Air Pollution

Metformin, an inexpensive diabetes drug, has been found to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes triggered by air pollution by reducing inflammation in the lungs that triggers clotting.

Disease Discoveries
Sep 21, 2018

Elevated Carbon Dioxide Linked to Restricted Airway

A new study finds that excessive carbon dioxide in a patient’s bloodstream can lead to a restricted airway, calling into question current clinical practices for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Disease Discoveries
May 29, 2018

New Clues Found in Cause of Early Lung Transplant Failure

A team of scientists has uncovered the precise cells that flow into and harm the lung soon after a transplant. The study, published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, may lead to drug therapies that target the destructive cells.

Scientific Advances
Nov 21, 2017

Regulatory Network Helps Cells Survive in Low Oxygen Environments

Northwestern Medicine scientists identified a complex regulatory system that keeps cells functioning when their oxygen supply is cut off.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Nov 7, 2017

New Drugs Show Promise in Critically Ill Patients

Two Northwestern Medicine clinical trials investigated drugs to treat patients suffering from vasodilatory shock and respiratory failure, showing promising results.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Nov 3, 2017

Chemotherapy Drug Maintains Quality of Life Despite Side Effects

Patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors had a similar quality of life while on a newly approved chemotherapy drug, as compared to patients receiving a placebo, according to a Northwestern Medicine study.

Disease Discoveries
Oct 23, 2017

Novel Technique Explains Herbicide’s Link to Parkinson’s Disease

Northwestern Medicine scientists have published a paper in Nature Chemical Biology, detailing an innovative use of CRISPR-Cas9 technology that has helped reveal how oxidative stress explains a common herbicide’s link to risk of Parkinson’s.

Disease Discoveries
Jul 10, 2017

Scientists Discover Novel Treatment Target for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a unique population of immune cells play a key role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, a fatal lung disease.
