Patients with cancer who watched personalized educational videos before their first visit with an oncologist were better equipped to consider participating in clinical trials, reports a paper co-authored by Northwestern Medicine investigator Al B. Benson, III, MD.
Rex Chisholm, PhD, vice dean of Scientific Affairs and Graduate Education, co-authored two recent papers that used electronic health records to explore patient genetic data, including genes inherited from early humans.
New Northwestern Medicine research explored how dopamine regulates stimulus generalization, highlighting a potential target for future treatments to help patients with psychiatric disorders.
Brian Mitchell, PhD, assistant professor of Cell and Molecular Biology, received the Marine Biology Laboratory Nikon Fellowship to advance his research on the development of multi-ciliated cells using microscopy.
Huda Zoghbi, MD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and Baylor College of Medicine professor known for her groundbreaking research on Rett syndrome and other neurological disorders, is the inaugural recipient of the Mechthild Esser Nemmers Prize in Medical Science.
A landmark national study has shown allowing surgical residents the flexibility to work longer hours does not pose any greater risk to patients.
A transcription factor protein may play an important role regulating genomic imprinting, a phenomenon where one of the two gene copies inherited from parents is silenced.
Scientists develop a new biodegradable material with built-in vitamin A, which has been shown to reduce scarring in blood vessels.
HIV still replicates in lymphoid tissue, even when it is undetectable in the blood of patients on antiretroviral drugs, according to new Northwestern Medicine research.
Northwestern University scientists used fruit fly genetics to understand how developing cells normally switch to a restricted, or specialized, state and how that process might go wrong in cancer.
