Glioblastomas, a deadly form of brain cancer, may be yet another cancer that responds to immunotherapy, a new Yale-led study suggests. An analysis of brain tissue from glioblastoma patients shows immune system response to tumors was strengthened when...
Research on chronic lung diseases has primarily focused on studying conditions, such as emphysema or lung fibrosis, in isolation. In a new study, Yale scientists identified a common genetic network for two chronic lung diseases that could inform both...
Akiko Iwasaki, newly named as the Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Immunobiology and of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB), focuses her research on the mechanisms of immune defense against viruses at the mucosal surfaces.Akiko Iwasaki...
David G. Schatz, newly named as the Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Immunobiology and of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry (MB&B), has made fundamental contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms that assemble and diversify antigen...
Craig Russell Roy, newly named as the Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis, focuses his research on understanding the molecular and cellular events that enable microbial pathogens to evade host defense mechanisms.Craig Roy (Photo...
A Yale research team has created a mutant protein-making factory in bacteria that churns out proteins containing beta-amino acids, molecules not normally found in nature but capable of creating longer-lasting and life-saving medicines.
The research...
