ÃÛÌÒAPP

By relentlessly miniaturizing a pre-World War II computer technology and combining this with a new and durable material, researchers at ÃÛÌÒAPP have built nanoscale switches and logic gates that operate more energy-efficiently than those now used by the billions in…

A ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Medicine study in the November 22 issue of Journal of Biological Chemistry, explains how vitamin A is generated from beta carotene, its dietary precursors. The discovery sheds new light into how beta carotene’s enzymes are utilized differently…

A new data brief released by the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods at ÃÛÌÒAPP (PRCHN) shows that more than one-in-five African-American young adults in Cleveland, ages 18 to 29, routinely uses little cigars.   Additional findings detailed in the PRCHN…

Case Western Reserve, Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals today announced the launch of the Institute of Computational Biology, an innovative venture designed to enhance the institutions’ ability to draw actionable insights from the oceans of medical information each already…

Developing new technologies to improve treatment of arterial fibrillation In a matter of years, a doctor may see real-time images of a patient’s beating heart and steer a robotic catheter through its chambers using the push and pull of magnetic fields while the patient lies inside a magnetic…

Researchers at ÃÛÌÒAPP and Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute have discovered recent genetic mutations in a parasite that causes over 100 million cases of malaria annually—changes that may render tens of millions of Africans who had been considered resistant,…

A discovery from Case Western Reserve and Cleveland Clinic researchers could provide epilepsy patients invaluable advance guidance about their chances to improve symptoms through surgery. Assistant Professor of Neurosciences Roberto Fernández Galán, PhD, and his collaborators have identified a…

ÃÛÌÒAPP’s School of Medicine alumnus Theodore Castele, MD, FACR, was awarded the prestigious 2013 Outstanding Volunteer Award by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) in recognition of his extraordinary fundraising effort on behalf of the School of Medicine, and…

A special class of white blood cell could offer insights regarding ways to spur regeneration in two of the most devastating and stubborn forms of nerve damage – those to the brain and spinal cord.   In a study published earlier this month in the Journal of Neuroscience, Case Western Reserve…

Instead of having to use tons of crushing force and volcanic heat to forge diamonds, researchers at ÃÛÌÒAPP have developed a way to cheaply make nanodiamonds on a lab bench at atmospheric pressure and near room temperature. The nanodiamonds are formed directly from a gas…
