Taking prescribed opioids raises the risk of pneumonia in individuals with and without HIV, a new Yale-led study finds.
The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, reinforces the concern that prescription opioid painkillers have a negative impact on...
Much of the research on HIV has focused on preventing infection but little is understood about how the body keeps the virus in check post-infection. A new study by Yale investigators reveals the role of a protein that serves to block HIV gene expression...
Nearly half a million firearm injuries were treated in emergency departments (EDs) nationwide between 2009 and 2014. Yet few victims are provided information on how to prevent repeat injuries, which are common, says a Yale researcher in a new study.
There...
More and more hospitalized patients with sepsis are being diagnosed with a deadly complication characterized by high levels of inflammation. A team of Yale researchers has uncovered clues to the cause of this complication — which kills up to 80% of...
More than 70% of researchers failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiment, according to a survey conducted by Nature in 2016. If scientists can’t reproduce each other’s work, important discoveries may never leave the lab and have an impact on human...
Many patients treated for metastatic melanoma develop resistance to an otherwise effective drug therapy known as BRAF inhibitors, which targets a specific genetic mutation. The cause of this resistance in 40% of patients is unclear. Yale researchers...
Scientists have recently recognized that cells of the same type can behave differently in response to stimulation. In a new study, Yale researchers have shown how these varied responses are due in part to a desynchronized molecular “clock” within cell...
As the opioid overdose epidemic continues to take its toll, causing 47,600 deaths in 2017, researchers continue to seek innovative solutions to the crisis. At Yale, a team of medical experts and students have come up with a tool that could help individual...
By targeting a protein found in the saliva of mosquitoes that transmit Zika virus, Yale investigators reduced Zika infection in mice. The finding demonstrates how researchers might develop a vaccine against Zika and similar mosquito-borne viruses, the...
