Using sophisticated screening across animal species, researchers at Yale have created a cellular blueprint of the human lung that will make it easier to understand the design principles behind lung function and disease — and to bioengineer new lungs.
The...
The protein known as polycystin 2 is present in every cell in the body, but until now scientists knew little about its purpose. Yale researchers have discovered that it protects against cell death, making it a potential target for therapies to treat a...
An underlying virus does not stop the body’s immune system from launching a strong defense against a second, newly introduced virus, according to a Yale-led study that appears in the March 9 online edition of the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases...
In a perfect scenario, individual COVID-19 testing would be widely and readily accessible. In reality, tests are still in short supply, and likely cases far outnumber testing capacity, making the prevalence and trajectory of the disease hard to measure....
The urgent search for a vaccine to protect against COVID-19 is well underway, with a number of experimental gene-based vaccines in various stages of development by biotech companies and academic scientists worldwide. Yale pathologist John “Jack” Rose...
The coronavirus pandemic has, in the words of Dr. F. Perry Wilson, a.k.a. “The Methods Man,” ushered in a “perfect storm of scientific misinformation.”
Scientists are releasing new studies at an unprecedented pace, the public is clamoring for more...
A research team from Yale and Baylor College of Medicine has completed the largest single-cell analysis to date of lungs affected by Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), revealing how cells change in response to the disease and identifying previously...
