In mammalian genome, enhancers are sequences that are often far away from their target genes. They play a key role in transcription regulation through long-range DNA loops. It is now widely accepted that genetic variants within enhancers may cause gene mis-regulation and human diseases. However, an ...

Mark Hans, DDS, MSD, and CWRU Professor and Chair of the Orthodontics Department, delivered the 2023 John Valentine Mershon Award Lecture at the AAO 2023 Annual Session in Chicago.

Nobel Laureates: Ferid Murad earned both his MD and PhD degrees in 1965 from the school. He was part of a team awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1998—“for their discoveries concerning nitric oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system.” Alumnus Alfred Gilman ear...

By discovering how zebrafish use their hair cells to detect distant movement, a team of Case Western Reserve University scientists may have found a path to help explain human hearing loss. Even though the tiny water creatures and humans would appear to have nothing in common, the structure and func...

A century ago, Western Reserve University's trustee, Samuel Mather, gave $2.5 million to construct a new building marking the School of Medicine's establishment in University Circle from its downtown Cleveland location. The building was dedicated in October of the next year—in conjunction with the ...

Kath Bogie, professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at Case Western Reserve University and a research career scientist at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, was recently appointed to the board of directors for the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP). The NPIAP mission is ...

The Global Health Conference Planning Committee of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine would like to invite the university community to its 13th annual free global health conference. The topic is “Addressing Human Trafficking in Healthc...

Second-year postdoctoral scholar Christian Mouchati, MD, presented an abstract poster at the Conferences of Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in February. “The work highlights the increase in inflammatory markers and gut integrity in post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC),” said Mouchati...

With Moderna Inc. global fellowship award, CWRU School of Medicine researchers hope to develop process that overcomes challenge of targeting diseased cells Beyond vaccines, mRNA offers immense potential to fight disease, but targeting the genetic material to specific diseased cells is challenging—r...
