Students and teachers in Connecticut’s public schools have fewer unhealthy snack food options in their cafeterias, according to a study by Yale researchers just published in the Journal of School Health.Researchers from Yale’s Rudd Center for Food Policy...
Yale Health Center, a full-service medical center for students, faculty, staff and their dependents, will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year in a brand new light-filled building on 55 Lock St. All Yale Health Center departments are fully operational...
Yale and McGill University scientists have identified a protein that is critical in fighting mosquito-borne West Nile Virus in mice. This finding could have therapeutic implications for controlling the potentially deadly virus in humans. The study appears...
Yale University researchers have identified three genes containing genetic variations that appear to increase a child’s risk of developing asthma. The findings will be published in three separate journals: the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology,...
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have developed a new animal model for studying hemophilia A, with the goal of eventually treating people with the disorder. Hemophilia A, a hereditary defect that prevents blood from clotting normally, is caused by a...
Yale researchers have identified key mechanisms used to repair breaks in DNA strands, a fundamental question in biology with implications for cancer research.Chromosomes are constantly under assault from environmental threats such as radiation and, as a...
The resurgence of pertussis (whooping cough) among newborns and adults has spurred a study by Yale School of Medicine and Hospital of Saint Raphael that will gauge whether young mothers and other caregivers will accept the pertussis vaccine if it is...
A Yale School of Medicine study reveals that the high prevalence of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) among injection drug users may be partly due to the resilience of the virus in certain types of syringes. The study, which could open new avenues in preventing...
Errors in the copying of genes during cell division can cause numerous diseases, including cancer. Yale School of Medicine scientists, however, have unraveled the secrets of a much more rare phenomenon with potential therapeutic implications – disease-...
West Nile virus tricks mosquitoes into producing a particular protein complex that allows it to survive and be transmitted, Yale researchers report in the Sept. 3 issue of the journal Cell.This molecular survival mechanism helps explain how West Nile...
