Two Yale faculty members, Antonio J. Giraldez and Paul E. Turner, were appointed to endowed professorships.
Giraldez, named as the Fergus F. Wallace Professor of Genetics, investigates the regulatory codes that shape gene expression during embryonic...
Using nanoparticles, Yale researchers have developed a drug-delivery system that could reduce organ transplant complications by hiding the donated tissue from the recipient’s immune system.
About 25,000 organ transplants are performed in the U.S. each...
The bacterium that causes Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, may have some help from a gene found in the guts of infected ticks, according to a new study led by Yale researchers and published in Nature Communications.
A Yale-led team of researchers has identified specific gene combinations that can cause the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma, using new technology that can also pinpoint triggers of other types cancers, they report Aug. 14 in the journal Nature...
The most cost-effective treatment for people with untreated opioid addiction who visit the emergency department (ED) is buprenorphine, a medication to reduce drug cravings and withdrawal, say Yale researchers. Their study found that among patients who...
The white blood cells known as T cells regulate our body’s response to foreign substances — our adaptive immune response. In a new study, Yale scientists have learned how changes in a recently discovered RNA epigenetic marker regulate T cells and the...
Pancreatic cancer is a particularly deadly form of disease, and patients have few options for effective treatment. But a new Yale-led study has identified a gene that is critical to pancreatic cancer cell growth, revealing a fresh target for new therapies...
The complex choreography of brain development is orchestrated by less than 1% of neurons, Yale neuroscientists report in the Aug. 16 issue of the journal Neuron. In this video, Jessica Cardin and colleagues discuss role of aptly named VIP interneurons in...
