Gone are the days of spending a day to submit an article to be published. A new journal is challenging established methods in biomedical research publications. Pathogens and Immunity streamlines the current research publication process – a well-recognized source of frustration for biomedical researc...

Three ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø faculty members have received funding to further develop emerging technologies aimed at malaria, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia. The funding is provided by the National Center for Accelerated Innovation, established by ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, ...

Cleveland, OH – JANUARY 26, 2016 – Fetal development has been known to play an important role in social interaction, a fundamental behavior found in nearly all organisms, and later adult social behaviors. Autism, a highly heritable neurodevelopment disorder that causes difficulties with social inter...

Cleveland, OH – January 20, 2016 – Physicians have known for years that patients respond differently to vaccines as they age. There may soon be a new way to predict and enhance the effectiveness of vaccinations, in particular the hepatitis B vaccine. Researchers at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Sc...

Researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School and ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine have led an international effort to identify three genetic associations that influence susceptibility to primary open angle glaucoma — the most common form of adult onset glaucoma...

The peripheral nervous system is a vast network of nerves that exists primarily outside of brain and spinal cord and connects to the far reaches of the body. The very expanse of peripheral nerves makes them highly vulnerable to injuries such as blunt-force blows, cuts, and leg and arm fractures, as ...

A five-center national study led by Neal Meropol, MD, and a team of researchers from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine and University Hospitals Case Medical Center demonstrated that a little information goes a long way in encouraging cancer patients to enroll in clinical trials, a d...

Researchers at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø School of Medicine have created the first complete model to describe the role that serotonin plays in brain development and structure. Serotonin, also called 5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT], is an important neuromodulator of brain development and the structu...

CLEVELAND – December 14, 2015 – In one of the latest examples of precision medicine, teams of geneticists from nine countries, involving more than 100 scientists, analyzed the genes of more than 33,000 individuals in the hope of finding genetic variations responsible for age-related macular degenera...

When a blunt-force blow injures the spinal cord, the body’s immune system can be both friend and foe. Sensing the injury, the immune system dispatches an inflammatory response composed of specialized cells called macrophages to dispose of dead tissue. However, together with the debris and blood from...
