Researchers at Yale University have shown how skin cancer could one day be treated with a simple injection. The team found that they could shrink tumors by injecting them with adhesive nanoparticles loaded with chemotherapy drugs.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Injections of drug-loaded sticky nanoparticles could shrink skin cancer
A robust new study led by scientists from Yale School of Medicine has comprehensively demonstrated how SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, can infect the brain and central nervous system (CNS). The study validates a growing body of observational research attributing neurological issues to COVID-19.

A first-of-its-kind exploratory study, led by researchers from Yale School of Medicine, has found a single dose of the psychedelic psilocybin can reduce migraine frequency by 50 percent for a least two weeks. The preliminary trial was small, with follo… Continue reading Psilocybin & migraine: First of its kind trial reports promising results
A new imaging study, led by a team from Yale University, has found a high density of cells in a certain brain region can effectively predict future weight gain in children. The research suggests an inflammatory response in the brain, triggered by poor … Continue reading Yale study uses brain imaging to predict childhood weight gain
A team of scientists at Yale University has developed a new “robotic fabric” that can change its shape and stiffness on demand or by sensing its environment. The material could one day be used in high-tech clothing, tents that set themselves up, or rob… Continue reading Shape-changing “robotic fabric” switches between soft and strong
A study published in the journal JAMA Neurology is reporting promising results testing the world’s first portable MRI machine in a real-world intensive care setting. The groundbreaking device effectively detected brain abnormalities in almost all patie… Continue reading World’s first portable MRI machine comes to patients
The more we work to get emissions down from motor vehicles and power generation, the more we’ll have to start looking at non-combustion sources of emissions – and a new Yale study suggests that asphalt, so ubiquitous in our modern cities, continues to … Continue reading Yale study finds dangerous emissions from asphalt long after it’s laid
We’re quickly learning more about time crystals, strange phases of matter that appear to break time-translation symmetry – something that was thought impossible until recently. Now scientists have observed two time crystals interacting for the first ti… Continue reading Physicists witness time crystals interacting for the first time ever
A new Yale University-led study has solved a long-standing mystery of how acute stress seems to amplify inflammatory disease despite the fact many stress hormones actually suppress the immune system. The research reveals a particular immune cell is rel… Continue reading Yale study solves mystery of how stress triggers inflammation
