Bacteria in the bloodstream can trigger an overwhelming immune response that causes sepsis, a life-threatening condition. Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found genes that help protect the body’s cells from dying during sepsis, which could lead to new treatments.
Jeffrey Miner, professor of medicine in the Division of Nephrology at the School of Medicine, and Jonathan Barnes, assistant professor of chemistry in Arts & Sciencees, received a total of $375,000 over three years in funding from the Children’s Discovery Institute Interdisciplinary Research Initiative for their project titled “Innovative Drug Delivery Strategies to Treat Pediatric Kidney Disease.” This research […]
In the right environment, a harmless mineral can do a lot to change the composition of the drinking water that flows through lead pipes. New research from the McKelvey School of Engineering discovers how.
In September 1969, Washington University in St. Louis scientists were among the first to receive samples collected from the historic Apollo 11 moon mission.
