Northwestern Medicine scientists found increases in patient admissions, length of stay, medical treatments, and resource utilization for infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units with neonatal abstinence syndrome.
Prarthana Dalal, a first-year medical student, received a 2015 Carolyn L. Kuckein Student Research Fellowship, awarded by the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society, to support her project studying a protein involved in inflammation.
Leaders from Northwestern University, the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Northwestern Medicine and the city of Chicago broke ground on the Louis A. Simpson and Kimberly K. Querrey Biomedical Research Center during a ceremony on May 8.
Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a previously unknown key regulator of immune response, a protein kinase called Jnk2 that helps maintain cellular homeostasis through a series of physiological processes.
Evangelos Kiskinis, PhD, assistant professor in Neurology and Physiology, uses stem cells to study the motor neurons and genes implicated in ALS.
The Northwestern Medicine Academy for Quality and Safety Improvement received the 2015 Leape Ahead Award from American Association for Physician Leadership.
A distinct pattern in the changing lengths of telomeres years before cancer diagnoses could yield a new biomarker that predict cancer, according to a new study.
A new Northwestern Medicine study shows that a protein called vimentin may help activate an inflammatory response that leads to acute lung injury.
Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a specific bacteria that may be the cause of a rare lung infection that affects lung transplant patients.
Northwestern Medicine scientists have for the first time, determined the protective structure of the parainfluenza virus 5 nucleocapsid ring, which hides the viral RNA genetic material from the outside environment. These findings may help to explain how the virus and other membrane-enveloped viruses including measles and mumps replicate with minimal changes to the protective ring[…]
