COLUMBUS, Ohio – Research led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine found that introducing a single bacterium

As the COVID-19 pandemic nears the two-year mark, Northwestern Medicine scientists continue to tackle every facet of the disease, from investigating coronavirus vaccines' potential for providing immunity against similar coronaviruses to developing novel rapid antigen-based tests and examining disparities in COVID-19 case and mortality rates in Chicago.

Losing memory is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, a symptom of the disease that depletes a patient’s quality of life. Improving memory and slowing cognitive

The human genome can be thought of as a massive library, containing over 20,000 different "instruction manuals": your genes. For example, there are genes

P. Roy Vagelos, MD, and his wife, Diana Vagelos, are providing $15 million to support the university's Division of Biology & Biomedical Sciences. The gift will fund undergraduate and graduate efforts in the life sciences. The couple made the gift to honor former Chancellor William H. Danforth, MD, who died last year.

A critical challenge for microbiology and medicine is how to cure infections by bacteria that survive antibiotic treatment by persistence or tolerance. Seeking mechanisms behind such high survival, we developed a forward-genetic method for efficient isolation of high-survival mutants in any culturable bacterial species. We found that perturbation of an essential biosynthetic pathway (arginine biosynthesis) in a mycobacterium generated three distinct forms of resistance to diverse antibiotics, ea...
