Astronomy and microscopy are built on the challenge of making the invisible visible. This project from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory compares images from Chandra, Hubble, Webb with images from the #NikonSmallWorld competition. Check out the full gallery: https://s.si.edu/48ESqo3

Did somebody say "vimentin"?

Happy #treg day everyone - congratulations to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, Shimon Sakaguchi and to all the immunologists who have contributed to this incredible field. See our collection: www.nature.com/collections/...

The work that happens at Northwestern makes a difference — for today and tomorrow. In this Northwestern Magazine feature, read about a few of the innovative federally funded research projects happening at the University right now: magazine.northwestern.edu/features/res...

NUCATS helps lead medical research and clinical trials. Fueled by federal funding, Feinberg research seeks to understand complex biological processes, develop treatments for various diseases & identify ways to implement evidence-based care, all with the goal of improving human health. bit.ly/4gOEOsI

Introducing Global Voices in Patient-Centered Research, a new conference series highlighting how research transforms lives. Our inaugural session kicked off on Friday, July 25 with a focus on cystic fibrosis. youtu.be/_09BjzhLwmI?...

"Research Saved My Life" When Toddie Hays decided to participate in a nationwide genetics study, she had no idea about the life-changing information hiding in her DNA. www.nucats.northwestern.edu/about/news/2...

We'd like to share some new content on Our Research Impact at Simpson Querrey Lung Institute for Translational Sciences (SQLIFTS), now featuring Global Voices in Patient-Centered Research with a focus on cystic fibrosis: www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/sites/sqlift...

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! May your samples today be as happy to see you as you are to see them!

Feinberg leads medical research and clinical trials, fueled by federal funding. Our research has a profound impact on our community and beyond. We invite you to learn more about the impact of our research here: www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/research/abo...

All across Northwestern, groundbreaking research and scholarship happen daily. Our researchers look to cure disease, tackle tough questions and improve lives. Explore recent research that highlights Northwestern's research impact and learn why research matters: www.northwestern.edu/research-nu/...

We proudly pursue high-impact research with the ultimate goal of improving patient care & and saving lives. For patients & their loved ones—both now & in the future—the value of our research is incalculable. Read about the impact of our research here: www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/sites/sqlift...

"The delays have stifled research on drug discovery, blood vessel health and injury response. In some cases, scientists have cut staff, paused hiring, trimmed back supplies or delayed experiments. Health officials have not explained which projects have been held up, why or for how long."

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

We're proud to contribute to Northwestern's research impact! Learn more about other recent discoveries at Northwestern that are improving lives every day: www.northwestern.edu/research-nu/...

It's been nice to see the tulips blooming on campus

Nice to see both you and vimentin in the news this morning! news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2025/04/28/u...

Northwestern research has a huge beneficial impact on society--advancing health and solving real problems. tinyurl.com/3wrtm6n4 #northwestern #research #innovation #funding

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Please enjoy this mouse lung.

Inspired by and grateful for our dedicated faculty, staff, & students! Life-saving clinical trials revolutionize patient care, transforming medicine and training the physicians who will deliver it. 💜 NU research impact stories: www.northwestern.edu/research-nu/... @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social

When you have a nice hat and someone mentions it and you feel nice #MicroscopyMonday Read our paper in Cell Reports: Ma et al. 2024, Vimentin modulates regulatory T cell receptor-ligand interactions at distal pole complex, leading to dysregulated host response to viral pneumonia, bit.ly/3FiW5vH

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! From Fig 2G of our Cell Reports paper (bit.ly/3FiW5vH), wild-type mice (left) & mice with conditional vimentin knockout in Tregs (right) were infected with a sublethal dose of influenza virus; on day 21 lungs from cKO mice had less keratin 5 (green) & more Foxp3+ Tregs (red)

Please enjoy a cellular eclipse

Happy Holidays from the Ridge Lab!

Just published in Cell Reports is our latest paper! Vimentin modulates regulatory T cell receptor-ligand interactions at distal pole complex, leading to dysregulated host response to viral pneumonia www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This lung adenocarcinoma cell was treated with withaferin A, fixed, & immunolabeled for vimentin (green) & keratin 8 (red) Read more in Berr et al 2023, Vimentin is required for tumor progression and metastasis in a mouse model of non–small cell lung cancer bit.ly/3OFzDPM

Greetings from the Ridge Lab in the Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care at Northwestern! Our research focuses on mechanisms driving repair & recovery from viral pneumonia. We aim to identify molecular signals modulating the transition from acute lung injury to the later resolution/repair phase.
