Before scientists develop the bioengineered tissue of tomorrow for treating pulmonary diseases, they need to identify the best methods for growing tissue for artificial trachea and lungs in experiments today.
A new Yale analysis does just that,...
When they’re not treating patients with heart disease, Drs. Nihar Desai and Tariq Ahmad are hard at work revising the definition of heart disease.
Ahmad, an assistant professor in the section of cardiovascular medicine at the Yale School of Medicine,...

“I thought I had the flu,” she said. “I was like, ‘Oh, who knows,...
Yale doctors have developed a way to create vascular grafts from stem cells that are as strong as the original blood vessels they would replace.
The advance, demonstrated in an animal model, may lead to bioengineered grafts suitable for transplant into...
The Obamacare program intended to reduce the risk of patients being readmitted after hospitalizations for heart attacks, heart failure, and pneumonia has not caused an increase in mortality risk for patients in emergency departments or observational units...
A new study suggests that state-mandated notifications on mammogram reports intended to inform women of the health risks related to breast density are ineffectively worded.

There’s a new path out of the “food desert,” and it’s as close as the nearest Internet connection.
A Yale University analysis found that most people in “food deserts” in eight states would increase their access to healthy, nutritious food if they purchase...
A Yale-led group of doctors has developed a new mathematical model that can predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing a common heart procedure.
For patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known...
A new Yale study shows that some patients being treated for severe heart failure with a battery-operated pump saw significant improvement after additionally using neurohormonal blockade (NHB) drug therapy.
NHB therapy, which includes three broad...
