Scientists at Northwestern Medicine are using new advances in CRISPR gene-editing technology to uncover new biology that could lead to longer-lasting treatments and new therapeutic strategies for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Delirium is a serious change in brain function that affects up to 64 percent of older medical patients. While there are more than 30 instruments currently available for identifying delirium in patients, few exist to assess its severity. A new measure changes that.

Common variable immunodeficiency has been categorized at single-cell resolution, revealing that differences in the epigenome and immune cell-cell signaling can cause one identical twin to experience the disease but not the other.

A study has shown that nearly half of all older adults now die with a diagnosis of dementia listed on their medical record, up 36% from two decades ago.

A new study published in Nature Genetics identified 10 new genetic regions associated with Brugada syndrome, a cardiac arrhythmia disorder associated with sudden death in young adults.

In a new study, 10-second videos of white blood cell motion in the skin’s microvasculature greatly improved the prediction of which stem cell and bone marrow transplant patients would have a relapse of their blood cancer.

A new study has found that women’s health research remains disproportionately focused on the reproductive years - particularly on pregnancy – with few articles on the major causes of illness and death in women.

A series of genetic mutations have been identified as risk factors for the development of rare brain blood vessel malformations that increase the risk of strokes and seizures.

A COVID-19 sensor could revolutionize virus testing by adding accuracy and speed to a process that frustrated many during the pandemic.

Liquid biopsy performed on serum samples taken from breast cancer patients can provide increasingly accurate information on cancer progression and enable earlier detection of cancer recurrence.
