Myles Wolf, Margaret Gray Morton Professor of Medicine, has been honored by the American Society of Nephrology for his research related to the functions and diseases of the kidney.
Findings published by Northwestern Medicine scientists in Molecular Cell suggest that the upregulation of protein WDR5 may be crucial in prostate cancer development.
The simulation curriculum is being implemented at half of the nation’s Veterans Affairs facilities in an effort to further reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections and mechanical complications such as pneumothorax and arterial puncture.
A group of physician-scientists at Northwestern Medicine has shown that 10 mL of local anesthetic has the same effect as the commonly used 30 mL to provide sciatic block in patients undergoing knee replacement.
Edward Gong, MD, received a 2013 Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award for his work using stem cells to restore normal function to obstructed bladders in children.
Study upends our understanding of vitamin E and ties the increasing consumption of supposedly healthy vitamin E-rich oils to the rising incidence of lung inflammation and, possibly, asthma.
Published in Nature Neuroscience, the findings offer a promising route for developing new treatment options in Parkinson’s disease.
