In a June 13 announcement, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor baricitinib as a treatment for severe alopecia areata, a disfiguring skin disease.
It is the first approved treatment for alopecia areata...
Every patient in a Yale clinical trial of a new treatment for the disfiguring disease sarcoidosis saw improvement to their skin — and more than half showed improvement in affected internal organs.
Sarcoidosis is a disease affecting four out of every 10,...
Yale has promoted two campus leaders to new roles as part of ongoing work to deepen student and community engagement in its public safety programs and broaden the range of health, wellness, and other experts involved in ensuring public safety on campus....
Yale has established a new leadership position to oversee information technology systems, underscoring the key role they play in the university’s mission of education, research, scholarship, preservation, and practice, as well as the value to campus...
The crusty conundrum carries fundamental implications. The thickness of continental crust — the part of Earth’s crust that forms land masses and continents — plays an important role in everything from the gradual movement of continents to the evolution of...
At the heart of every resonator — be it a cello, a gravitational wave detector, or the antenna in your cell phone — there is a beautiful bit of mathematics that has been heretofore unacknowledged.
Yale physicists Jack Harris and Nicholas Read know this...
Climate models may be significantly underestimating how extreme precipitation will become in response to a rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, a new Yale-led study finds.
It all comes down to raindrop physics, researchers Ryan Li and Joshua...
At the heart of energy conversion, electrons and protons move in an intricate, coordinated dance. Chemists at Yale and in Sweden say they may have learned the steps to a new, photo-chemical rhumba.
The discovery, published in the journal Science, could...
All baby birds have a moment prior to hatching when their hip bone is a tiny replica of a dinosaur’s pelvis.
That’s one of the findings in a new, Yale-led study in the journal Nature that explores the evolutionary underpinnings of the avian hip bone. It...
Yale researchers have developed a new class of molecules that target some of the deadliest brain cancers while sparing healthy tissue along the way.
The discovery, which combines innovative synthetic chemistry and cutting-edge mechanistic studies in...
