Researchers from Yale University and Mirna Therapeutics, Inc., reversed the growth of lung tumors in mice using a naturally occurring tumor suppressor microRNA. The study reveals that a tiny bit of RNA may one day play a big role in cancer treatment, and...
A team led by Yale University researchers has used nanosensors to measure cancer biomarkers in whole blood for the first time. Their findings, which appear December 13 in the advanced online publication of Nature Nanotechnology, could dramatically...
Yale University researchers have devised a computer model to explain how the brain makes decisions based on statistical probabilities—as, for instance, when a doctor makes a diagnosis based on several conflicting test results.In a study published online...
Yale University announced the launch of a website designed to provide information about federal grants the University has received through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The website can be found at http://opa.yale.edu/sp/arra.Faculty...
Yale University researchers have found more than two dozen scent receptors in malaria-transmitting mosquitoes that detect compounds in human sweat, a finding that may help scientists to develop new ways to combat a disease that kills 1 million people...
Yale scientists and researchers now have a comprehensive online tool they can use to share and discuss research projects, data, lab protocols, results, news of clinical trials and advances in clinical care.It is called the YCCI Research Accelerator (RA),...
The molecular caps at the ends of chromosomes that protect humans against cancer and premature cellular aging show a surprising inability to protect themselves against ultraviolet radiation, a new Yale School of Medicine study has found.Telomeres—the...
Yale cell biologist James E. Rothman today has been named one of three recipients awarded the 2010 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience, the second consecutive time a Yale scientist has been a co-recipient of the prestigious, biennial $1 million prize.Dr. Rothman...
On June 25th 2000, President Bill Clinton announced the completion of the first draft of the human genome, an event that promised to create a revolution in human medicine. A decade later, researchers at Yale University and around the world have made great...
The Pew Charitable Trusts has named Yale University faculty member and stem cell researcher Valerie Horsley, Ph.D., as a 2010 Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences.This program enables scientists who are early in their careers to expand their research...
