Wednesday, Sept. 25 marks the first meeting of the Get Healthy Connecticut initiative in New Haven, led by community services administrator Althea Marshall Brooks, Dr. Jeannette Ickovics of Yale School of Public Health, and Yale-New Haven Hospital. The...
Pregnancy in humans has typically been studied as an anti-inflammatory process, where a mother’s immune system is suppressed to protect the fetus from attack.
Why inflammation — a major cause of morning sickness — is necessary for initiating pregnancy,...
Yale scientist Nikhil Malvankar has been named a recipient of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director’s New Innovator Award.
An assistant professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry at Yale, Malvankar is one of 55 scientists to receive the...
Photographer Bill Brandt (1904–1983) and sculptor Henry Moore (1898–1986) first crossed paths during the Second World War, when each produced images of civilians sheltering in the London Underground during the Blitz.
Their war-time pictures today rank...
Yale scientists with colleagues at University College London have taken the next step towards unravelling how cells work together during wound closure, a question that could be fundamental to determining optimal healing rates after injury or disease. ...
Soon after its 2017 installation at Yale’s West Campus, the new Titan Krios Cryo-Electron Microscope — or CryoEM, the technology at the center of the growing ‘resolution revolution’ and the tool used by three recent Nobel Prize winners — is beginning to...
Membrane fusion is an important reaction, required for tissue development, viral infection, hormone release, and neurotransmission. But until now, few methods have examined the dynamic “pores” that regulate the release of cargo carried by secretory...
Yale scientists have discovered a family of immune proteins, which they describe as a “massive molecular machine,” that could affect the way our bodies fight infection.
Our immune system mobilizes numerous proteins to detect viruses and bacteria — and to...
