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...
Thanks to some astrophysical sleuthing, researchers have pinpointed an early galactic merger that helped shape the Milky Way.
The merger — a collision, actually — happened 11.5 billion years ago. That’s when a small galaxy called Gaia-Enceladus slammed...
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.
The study, conducted by researchers at Yale and New York University, found that...
A new study suggests that China needs a national strategy to improve hospital care for heart patients.
The study, a collaboration among researchers in China and the United States, appears Jan. 8 in the journal JAMA Network Open. Harlan Krumholz, M.D.,...
So many fossils, so little time — to train people to identify them.
As scientists grapple with a vast backlog of marine fossils waiting for identification, an international group led by Yale has begun using machine-learning techniques to tackle the...
The mammal tree of life is a real leaner. Some branches are weighed down with thousands of species — we’re looking at you, rodents and bats — while others hold just a few species.
Now we may have a better idea why.
In a new study published in the journal...
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...
Making methanol just got a lot easier, now that chemists at Yale have opened up a new electron highway.
The discovery, published online Nov. 27 in the journal Nature, finds a novel solution for two chemical tasks: producing methanol — a volatile, liquid...
