On Thursday, July 29, physicians at NYU Medical Center will implant the first of a new generation of cochlear implant, the Nucleus 24RCS, in two adult patients who are part of an FDA-approved pilot project. It is expected that the new implant will significantly improve patients' ability to distinguish words and other sounds.
Eric Moon-shong Tang, Ph.D., a prominent molecular biologist whose research established a direct genetic link between smoking and lung cancer, has joined the faculty of New York University School of Medicine as Professor of Environmental Medicine.
A mutation in a newly discovered human gene causes an unusual form of hereditary dementia characterized by amyloid deposits in the brain. The new study by NYU School of Medicine scientists may help lead to a better understanding of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
A combination of radiation and chemotherapy lengthens the life of esophageal cancer patients - and, for some, may add many years of life, according to a new, long-term study reported by a NYU Medical Center researcher and colleagues from many other institutions.
NYU School of Medicine and NIH researchers have identified an ordinary protein present in tears and saliva as the long-sought mystery substance in the urine of pregnant women that is a powerful anti-HIV agent.
Scientists at NYU School of Medicine and The Rockefeller University have discovered the structure of a key compound that enables a dangerous bug to cause devastating infections. They have also designed molecules that block the compound's effects, opening a novel way to combat these infections.
New York University School of Medicine researchers have found a way to gauge the earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease in the brain. Their technique may provide a better tool to diagnose the dementia-producing disease years before a person experiences any memory loss.
NYU Hospitals Center is the leading center in the New York metropolitan area and nationwide testing a new device that helps preserve sexual potency in men undergoing surgery for prostate cancer.
Ultrasound scans that pose no danger to the fetus can detect a majority of genetic anomalies early in pregnancy, substantially reducing the subsequent need for amniocentesis, according to physician researchers at NYU School of Medicine
The NYU Child Study Center, the first and only such child mental health facility in the New York metropolitan area and one of the largest and most comprehensive in the nation, today opens its new 20,000 square-foot state-of-the-art headquarters in Manhattan
NYU Medical Center has opened a new Day Surgery Pavilion that is a model of patient-friendly, physician-friendly architecture and care.
A new generation of cochlear implant, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week, is no bigger than a hearing aid. But it is powerful enough to restore hearing sensation and promote understanding of speech in the overwhelming majority of profoundly deaf adults and children.
Is it possible that young women with breast cancer live longer if the operation to remove the cancer is performed during the middle of the menstrual cycle rather that at beginning? The answer depends on how long ago the surgery was done.
New York University School of Medicine researchers have created a protein fragment that blocks the formation of a substance implicated in causing Alzheimer's disease, a finding that may lay the foundation for a novel therapy.
The FDA's recent approval of the first urine test system for HIV-1, invented by researchers at NYU School of Medicine, promises to broaden the acceptance and availability of HIV testing worldwide.
Using a gene that only functions in bladder cells, scientists at NYU School of Medicine have developed the first transgenic animal model for bladder cancer and the first blood test for metastatic bladder cancer.
It is the size of a laptop computer, but it is as powerful as far larger systems that cost ten times as much and perform the same function -- providing neurosurgeons with a tool for navigating one of the most important, and complex, organs of the body, the human brain.
Malignant brain cancers in young children can be eradicated with high-dose chemotherapy and stem-cell transplants, eliminating the need for conventional radiation therapy, which causes irreparable physical and psychological damage in young children, according to two studies by New York University School of Medicine researchers.
New York, NY -December 22, 1997-Scientists at NYU School of Medicine and the United States Department of Agriculture have, for the first time, coaxed animals to produce a human protein in their urine, a discovery that could lead to a new and vastly less expensive method to obtain rare therapeutic proteins for a range of human diseases.
