Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine and the University of Minnesota Medical School are leading a large, multicenter study to find out whether maintaining platelets in cold storage is as effective in reducing blood loss as platelets stored at room temperature.

Researchers at the School of Medicine have identified an antibody that, in mice, removes amyloid plaques from brain tissue and blood vessels without increasing the risk of brain bleeds.

Researchers at the School of Medicine have discovered that the ability to interact with other elements of the immune system is an indispensable part of the effectiveness of monoclonal antibodies. The findings could help improve the design of the next generation of COVID-19 drugs.

An international team of researchers, including scientists at the School of Medicine, has formed a network to study the role of inflammation in heart disease, with a goal of finding new therapies to improve recovery after heart attacks.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a liquid biopsy — examining blood or urine — that could help guide treatment for colorectal cancer patients.

A new study led by the School of Medicine has mapped out detailed molecular and genetic schematics of glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, opening the door to potential improved therapies.

Rabbi Hershey Novack of Chabad at Washington University in St. Louis has been selected as the 2021 recipient of the Visionary Award by JProSTL, the professional sector of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis.

School of Medicine researchers have received a grant to investigate whether immunosuppressive drugs prescribed for inflammatory bowel disease or psoriasis also can control blood sugar levels.

A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis describes a strategy that could lead to therapies for clearing HIV infection. The researchers showed that human immune cells have a natural alarm system that detects the activity of a specific HIV protein.

Researchers at the School of Medicine and Whiterabbit.ai have developed a software that assesses breast density and can help identify women who could benefit from additional screening.
