Yale scientists set out to create a morbidly obese mouse. They failed miserably. What they found was much more interesting. “We created a mouse that…
Several gene mutations have been linked to Parkinson’s disease, but exactly how and where some of them cause their damage has been unclear. A new…
Yale researchers have provided a new explanation for why Earth’s early climate was more stable and warmer than it is today. When life first evolved…
In the search for obesity treatments, scientists recently zeroed in on a gene known as Nucleobindin-2 (Nucb2), which was believed to play a role in…
On an ancient seafloor, burrowing animals appeared and churned up sediment as a sort of opening act for the Cambrian explosion, the rapid emergence and…
In the last several years, 3D printing with plastics has advanced rapidly. Now, a team of researchers have shown that it may soon be as…
Antiretroviral therapies have worked wonders in suppressing HIV replication and its progression to AIDS, but their effectiveness is deteriorating due to the constant development of…
Yale researchers have designed a new system to keep tomorrow’s quantum computers from “leaking.” Large-scale quantum computers are still years away, but it is well…
Typically, we don’t think too much about the inner workings of our air-conditioning units, even as we enjoy the relief they bring on sweltering days….
Royal jelly, or milky-white “bee milk,” has long been known for its mysterious growth effects on future queen honey bees, while also hailed by some…
Drinking artificially sweetened beverages is associated with a significantly lower risk of colon cancer recurrence and cancer death, a team of investigators led by a…

Hydrocephalus is characterized by a dangerous buildup of pressure on the brain caused by excessive amounts of fluid. Researchers have long believed that the condition,…
A team of researchers at Yale is expanding our understanding of how bacteria continue to evolve and adapt at the molecular level. By making a…
Block copolymers (BCPs) have been of great interest to researchers in recent years. These nanostructured materials, made from blocks of chemically dissimilar polymers, self-assemble to…
The nervous system depends upon the tightly regulated spatial and temporal communication that occurs between neurons at specialized connections called synapses. Chemical signals called neurotransmitters,…
