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 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.
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...
A Yale-led team of researchers has identified specific gene combinations that can cause the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma, using new technology that can also pinpoint triggers of other types cancers, they report Aug. 14 in the journal Nature...
The most cost-effective treatment for people with untreated opioid addiction who visit the emergency department (ED) is buprenorphine, a medication to reduce drug cravings and withdrawal, say Yale researchers. Their study found that among patients who...
The white blood cells known as T cells regulate our body’s response to foreign substances — our adaptive immune response. In a new study, Yale scientists have learned how changes in a recently discovered RNA epigenetic marker regulate T cells and the...
