At exactly 12:00 p.m. today, medical students from around the nation – including those at �Ӱ���Ƶ – received envelopes in which they learned where they will spend the next years of their training. Top residency choices this year for �Ӱ���Ƶ medical students…

�Ӱ���Ƶ School of Medicine is ranked among the top 25 research-oriented medical schools in the nation, and No. 1 in Ohio, according to the annual ranking of graduate schools released today by U.S. News & World Report. “We are delighted to be recognized for our achievements…

The deadly fungus, Candida auris, which has sickened at least 28 people in the United States, and has been reported in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey has been systemically studied for the first time in a study published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, by…

Researchers have known that part of the challenge in treating penicillin-resistant infections lies in understanding the way bacteria inactivate penicillin antibiotics. The enzymes that do this, beta-lactamases, chop up the antibiotics rendering them useless. One particularly problematic group of…

Specific cells in the retina trigger inflammation and vision impairment associated with diabetes, according to new research out of �Ӱ���Ƶ School of Medicine. The findings unexpectedly implicate Mu¨ller cells—which provide structural support in the retina—as key drivers of…

Genetic mutations can increase a person’s cancer risk, but other gene “enhancer” elements may also be responsible for disease progression, according to new research out of �Ӱ���Ƶ School of Medicine. In a breakthrough study published in Nature Communications, scientists…

Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928, antibiotics have made the world a much safer and healthier place. But Shakespeare was onto something when he asked if it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. In the case of antibiotics, the answer is increasingly “yes.” As a result, Case Western…

An enzyme that helps break down cholesterol may also be a therapeutic target to stave off neurologic diseases, including Alzheimer’s and a rare genetic disorder, according to a new study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Researchers from �Ӱ���Ƶ School of…

The adage that kids are growing up too fast these days has yet another locus of applicability. In a new, first-of-its-kind study, researchers from �Ӱ���Ƶ School of Medicine have found a 700-percent surge in infections caused by bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family…

Research led by scientists at UC San Francisco and �Ӱ���Ƶ School of Medicine has used brain “organoids” — tiny 3D models of human organs that scientists grow in a dish to study disease — to identify root causes of Miller-Dieker Syndrome (MDS), a rare genetic disorder that…
