ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Researchers Identify HIV-Inhibiting Mechanism
CLEVELAND - Researchers at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine have discovered a long-sought cellular factor that works to inhibit HIV infection of myeloid cells, a subset of white blood cells that display antigens and hence are important for the body’s immune response against viruses...
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine Receives $2.5M NIH Grant to Study Intestinal Inflammation
CLEVELAND - ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine has received a $2.5 million grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestives and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to study intestinal inflammation. The five-year grant from the institute, which is part of the National Institutes of H...
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø researchers developing cheap, efficient ways to store energy
Researchers at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø are mixing cheap and plentiful iron in benign solutions to create a flow battery – essentially an unwrapped battery that can be scaled up to hold and supply electricity to a home or an entire community. The goal is to produce a cheap and efficient syst...
Genetic Factor Controls Health-Harming Inflammation in Obese
CLEVELAND - Researchers at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine have discovered a genetic factor that can regulate obesity-induced inflammation that contributes to chronic health problems. If they learn to control levels of the factor in defense cells called macrophages, "We have a sh...

CLEVELAND - Researchers at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine have identified a cellular mechanism that is critical in maintaining normal cell function. In their work, the researchers led by Eckhard Jankowsky, PhD, researcher and associate professor in the Center for RNA Molecul...
Researchers Find Lunar Water
Discovery provides new clues to the origin of Earth's celestial neighbor. Parts of the moon's interior contains as much water as the upper mantle of the Earth - 100 times more of the precious liquid than measured before - research from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, Carnegie Institution for Scienc...
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and Edheads Advance Science Education by Using Clinical Trials
CLEVELAND - - The National Center for Regenerative Medicine (NCRM) at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine is teaming up with Edheads, a provider of online education tools, to launch web-based education modules about stem cells. The modules, based on real clinical trials, are geared t...
Are We Finally Ready To Cut the Paper Out of Doctors' Paperwork?
As physicians trade in their patients' file folders for electronic medical records, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø experts discuss the promises and pitfalls that lie at the intersection of technology and health care. In an increasingly paperless world, it's almost quaint to visit your local physici...
Smarter Treatment for Killer Infections
Sepsis is a major killer in hospital intensive care units. Researchers at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine have found that manipulating a genetic factor that can launch or throttle the body’s defenses can improve survival rates during bacterial infection. “Currently, our therapies...
Researchers Identify Genes Linked to Worsening of Cystic Fibrosis
CLEVELAND - A team of international researchers, including ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine, have discovered regions of the genome that affect the severity of the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common lethal genetic disease affecting children in North America. The f...
