A new computational method could dramatically accelerate efforts to map the body’s cells in space, according to a study published in Nature Genetics.

A new computational method could dramatically accelerate efforts to map the body's cells in space, according to a study published in Nature Genetics. Spatial multi-omics technologies—often described as ultra-high-resolution maps of tissues—allow scientists to see not only which genes or proteins are active in a cell, but exactly where that activity occurs. That spatial context is critical for understanding complex organs such as the brain, immune tissues and developing embryos.

Children and adolescents who are reinfected with SARS-CoV-2 face a significantly higher risk of developing long COVID, according to a large, multi-institutional study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

A new study may pave the way toward more personalized treatments for patients with high-risk bladder cancer, according to a study published in European Urology.

A new study has identified mutations in a single gene as the cause of a previously unrecognized spectrum of severe neurological disorders, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Students from across Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine’s academic programs came together on Sunday, May 3, for the inaugural Feinberg Day of Service — a new student-led initiative centered on volunteerism, community partnership and cross-program connection.

A molecule once thought to be a harmful metabolic byproduct may play a crucial role in early development and gene regulation, according to a new study published in Nature that challenges decades of biochemical assumptions.
