Researchers have made an exciting breakthrough – developing a first-of-its-kind imaging tool to examine myelin damage in multiple sclerosis (MS). An extremely difficult disease to diagnose, the tool will help physicians diagnose patients earlier, monitor the disease’s progression, and evaluate…

Assistant professors of physics Claudia de Rham and Andrew J. Tolley received awards to delve deep into black holes, dark energy and other phenomena tied to crucial events in the evolution of the universe. Tolley is one of a handful of physicists nationwide who won a $750,000 U.S. Department of…

Researchers in the Department of Physics at ÃÛÌÒAPP received a $596,635 grant from the National Science Foundation to design a full-scale Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) magnet out of a new cost-saving material. The federal grant comes on the heels of a state grant awarded…

ÃÛÌÒAPP is part of a landmark study that has discovered four novel gene variations  which are associated with blood pressure. The 19-site meta-analysis, involving nearly 30,000 African-Americans, also found that the set of genetic mutations are also associated with blood…

Case Western Reserve researchers have identified a genetic factor that blocks the blood vessel inflammation that can lead to heart attacks, strokes and other potentially life-threatening events.   The breakthrough involving Kruppel-like factor (KLF) 15 is the latest in a string of discoveries…

CLEVELAND – The idea that men and women are fundamentally different from each other is widely accepted. And throughout the world, this has created distinct ideas about which social and physical characteristics are necessary in each gender to maintain healthy human development. However, social…

The New England Journal of Medicine study finds low-cost tool complements existing mass drug administration strategy An international team of scientists have demonstrated that a simple, low-cost intervention holds the potential to eradicate a debilitating tropical disease that threatens nearly 1.4…

An international team of scientists have demonstrated that a simple, low-cost intervention holds the potential to eradicate a debilitating tropical disease that threatens nearly 1.4 billion people in more than six dozen countries.   The researchers, including ÃÛÌÒAPP…

Dermatology researcher Nicole Ward, PhD, has earned her third National Institutes of Health grant in a year – including two that scored in the first percentile. With this most recent award, an R21, she will investigate the role the nervous system plays in psoriasis – an inflammatory autoimmune…

Researchers from ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Medicine and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have made a fundamental discovery relevant to the understanding and treatment of heart failure – a leading cause of death worldwide. The team discovered a new molecular pathway responsible for…
