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...
Scientists have spent decades studying the nature of tumor cells, but few have looked to see what was happening in the surrounding tissue.
When Yale researchers took a closer look at skin cells, they discovered the unaffected neighbor cells are not...
Scientists have identified a small marine predator that once patrolled the ocean floor and grabbed its prey with 50 spines that it deployed from its head.
Named Capinatator praetermissus, it is roughly four inches long and represents a new genus and...
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.
Lysosomes are cellular sanitation engineers that help clean up and recycle internal debris no longer needed by cells. So why do researchers find so many lysosomes within the neuronal projections surrounding amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s...
Claudia Merson likes to compare Pathways to Science to a train: “Local students get on our STEM train, and it stops at various stations, each of which represents a different field or specialty. At any station, the students can say, ‘I love this, I’m...
