Research team discovers key mechanisms to inhibit triple negative breast cancers
Findings could lead to life-saving treatments to fight tumor metastasis A team of researchers from Cleveland Clinic and ӰƵ School of Medicine have identified critical complex mechanisms involved in the metastasis of deadly “triple negative” breast cancers (TNBC). These tumors are e...
Researchers discover chromosome therapy to correct a severe chromosome defect
Induced pluripotent stem cell reprogramming offers potential to correct abnormal chromosomes Geneticists from Ohio, California and Japan joined forces in a quest to correct a faulty chromosome through cellular reprogramming. Their study, published online in Nature, used stem cells to correct a defec...
CWRU wins $12.7 million for AIDS research, clinical trials
Top HIV research group expects additional $9 million over course of award AIDS researchers from ӰƵ and University Hospitals Case Medical Center have received a seven-year funding award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the Na...

Cleveland Clinic, ӰƵ School of Medicine Team Discovers Key Mechanisms to Inhibit Triple Negative Breast Cancers
A team of researchers from the Cleveland Clinic and ӰƵ School of Medicine have identified critical complex mechanisms involved in the metastasis of deadly “triple negative” breast cancers (TNBC). These tumors are extremely difficult to treat, frequently return after remission, and...
Breakthrough in Understanding the Secret Life of Prion Molecules
New research from David Westaway, PhD, of the University of Alberta and Jiri Safar, MD, ӰƵ School of Medicine has uncovered a quality control mechanism in brain cells that may help keep deadly neurological diseases in check for months or years. The findings, published i...
Researchers at Case Comprehensive Cancer Center discover ovarian cancer biomarker
Researchers at ӰƵ have identified a microRNA biomarker that shows promise in predicting treatment response in the most common form of ovarian cancer—a breakthrough that has the potential to improve outcomes for patients with the disease. A Case Comprehensive Cancer Cent...
Researchers receive NIH grant to study stents' effectiveness
Researchers at ӰƵ and University Hospitals Case Medical Center hope to improve treatment and survival rates of ischemic heart disease patients by providing doctors an unprecedented look at the stents they place in coronary arteries. The highly collaborative team receive...
Nature Study Discovers Chromosome Therapy to Correct a Severe Chromosome Defect
Geneticists from Ohio, California and Japan joined forces in a quest to correct a faulty chromosome through cellular reprogramming. Their study, published online today in Nature, used stem cells to correct a defective “ring chromosome” with a normal chromosome. Such therapy has the promise to correc...
Researchers identify that multiple DNA changes cause common diseases
Many rare disorders are caused by gene mutation, like sickle cell anemia. Yet until now the underlying genetic cause of more common conditions—for example, rheumatoid arthritis—has evaded scientists for years. New research from ӰƵ School of Medicine that appears in the ...
