For the first time, scientists can see pathways to stop a deadly brain cancer in its tracks. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have imaged individual cancer cells and the routes they travel as the tumor spreads. The researchers used a novel cryo-imaging technique to…

Two new rodent fossils were discovered in the arid highlands of southern Bolivia by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and Universidad Autónoma Tomás Frías. The larger of the two rodents, named Mesoprocta hypsodus, probably looked something like a guinea pig on…

An artificial lung built by Cleveland researchers has reached efficiencies akin to the genuine organ, using air—not pure oxygen as current man-made lungs require—for the source of the essential element. Use in humans is still years away, but for the 200 million lung disease sufferers worldwide,…

Researcher links anorexia to early-onset osteoporosis in women. Anorexia can have devastating health consequences, including putting women at risk for early-onset osteoporosis. According to Kathryn Teng, a personal health expert at Cast Western Reserve University School of Medicine and director…

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine recently made a breakthrough that holds promise for the nearly 1.2 million people with upper spinal cord injuries: They bridged a spinal cord injury and biologically regenerated lost nerve connections to the diaphragm, restoring…
