'Toward Anti-Oppressive Teaching,' a new book co-written by Elizabeth A. Self, assistant professor of the practice of teaching and learning, and Barbara S. Stengel, professor of the practice of education, emerita, details how carefully crafted encounters can build on traditional approaches to educating future teachers about culture, power and systems of oppression.  Read More

A new study shows that insect immune and circulatory systems cooperate to fight infection, similar to those in mammals. Read More

Isotope analysis of ancient Peruvian teeth gives anthropologists a clearer image of how cooperating societies function. Read More

Geographically targeted efforts to prevent children being placed in out-of-home care might be possible, Ģ����Ƶ researchers report.

Ģ����Ƶ researchers demonstrate that the polymer P188 has promise as a therapy to prevent reperfusion injury — the cellular damage that occurs when blood flow returns after an ischemic event like a heart attack.

Ģ����Ƶ investigators have devised a system to alert health IT teams to deteriorating performance in clinical prediction models.

The isolation of human monoclonal antibodies against dangerous viruses including EEEV, Hendra and Nipah could offer new ways to treat and prevent these infections.

COVID-19 has been linked to cases of new-onset diabetes, diabetes-related emergencies and a higher death rate among diabetes patients.

Ģ����Ƶ Medical Center investigators have identified a key molecular player in the early events of the inflammatory response to infection. The findings suggest new therapeutic possibilities for enhancing the inflammatory response to protect against pathogens and for blocking inflammation gone awry in diseases like arthritis and atherosclerosis.

Discovery provides insight for developing next generation optoelectronic and infrared devices In groundbreaking new research, an international team that includes a Ģ����Ƶ engineer has developed a unique process for producing a quantum state that is part light and part matter.

James Crowe Jr., MD, a physician-scientist at Ģ����Ƶ Medical Center who has pioneered development of human monoclonal antibodies as potential treatments for viral diseases, has won a 2020 “Golden Goose” Award.

Ģ����Ƶ Medical Center (VUMC) researchers are enrolling adults aged 75 and over to study whether taking atorvastatin, a drug commonly used to lower cholesterol also called Lipitor®, can help maintain health by preventing dementia, disability, and heart disease.

A study group of more than 600,000 patients with type 2 diabetes, identified from electronic medical records in the PCORnet national research network, could be valuable for assessing the safety of type 2 diabetes drugs.

Younger parents were much less likely than older parents to say they planned to vaccinate their children and themselves against COVID-19.

Changes in connectivity in the brain’s white matter may be a novel neuroimaging biomarker for assessing Alzheimer’s disease progression.

Consuelo Hopkins Wilkins, professor of medicine in the School of Medicine and vice president for health equity at Ģ����Ƶ Medical Center, has received one of the highest honors in health and medicine. Read More

Ģ����Ƶ researchers have identified a new molecular partner — and potential therapeutic target — in a signaling axis that drives lung cancer.

A new study from Ģ����Ƶ epidemiologists suggests that it’s time to reconsider clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer in older women.

A new study sheds light on how molecular subsets within the tumors of kidney cancer patients determine treatment outcomes and underscores the importance of personalized medicine in making therapy decisions.

Findings from a national study published Nov. 9 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) “do not support” the use of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19, the report concludes.
