A study by researchers at Yale has uncovered why belly fat surrounding organs increases as people age, a finding that could offer new treatment possibilities for improving metabolic health, thereby reducing the likelihood for diseases like diabetes and...
A Yale-led collaborative study boosts scientific understanding of how the lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) progresses, providing a roadmap for researchers to discover new treatment targets for the disease.
The study, led by Naftali...
Using sophisticated screening across animal species, researchers at Yale have created a cellular blueprint of the human lung that will make it easier to understand the design principles behind lung function and disease — and to bioengineer new lungs.
The...
Discoveries happen every day in Yale’s research labs, some of which have the potential to save lives and revolutionize medicine: A new way to attack cancerous tumors. A new means to treat drug-resistant infections. A new method for targeting fungal...
A new study by Yale researchers shows that considering hearing and mobility improves doctors’ ability to accurately predict six-month mortality for older heart attack patients.
There has been a growing sense that functional impairments — of hearing and...
A new study led by Yale University researchers finds that scaling up use of methadone and buprenorphine — medications for treating opioid use disorder known as opioid agonist therapies (OATs) — could greatly reduce HIV transmission rates and prevent...
Binge drinking by teenagers in their senior year of high school is a strong predictor of dangerous behaviors later in life, including driving while impaired (DWI) and riding with an impaired driver (RWI), according to a new Yale-led study.
But researchers...
