Yale scientists have identified a way to “supercharge” tumor-attacking T cells, a finding that may not only improve the effectiveness of a promising type of cell-based cancer immunotherapy but also expand the number of cancers it can treat.
Their findings...
As Yale seeks to expand the diversity and excellence of its faculty, the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry (MB&B) has developed a novel way of identifying promising candidates.
Last year, MB&B Chair Enrique M. De La Cruz and...
One proposed strategy in the fight against climate change is to increase tree cover in the world’s savannas, either through the planting of new trees or fire suppression, to boost the uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, a new Yale-led study of...
