Yale investigators, in collaboration with a team of international scientists, have nearly doubled the known genetic landscape of endometriosis, a chronic and often debilitating inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women worldwide. Renato Polimanti, PhD, MSc, is senior author of the paper, published in Nature Genetics.

Scientists found a potential target for achieving the healthy longevity that can come with calorie restriction, without the negative effects it can have on the immune system.

New research suggests that cognitive traits observed in some individuals with type 1 diabetes may share underlying biological origins with the disease itself.

“One of the paper’s most important and unexpected findings was showing that one’s perception of connectedness to another person is directly related to the activity in these specific regions of the brain,” Hirsch, PhD, said.

A new Yale study published in the Journal of Neuroscience provides evidence that predictable musical chord progressions enhance social connectedness by engaging and synchronizing neural systems involved in social perception and interaction — especially during live face-to-face engagement.

The goal of their study, the results of which were published in the journal Nature late last year, was to better understand how viruses move between human and animal populations in the hope of learning how to better predict and control that transmission.

A desert-living wild mouse lives longer and ages more gracefully than other mice. How it does could give clues for boosting human longevity.

The study found that working muscles effectively outcompete tumors for the glucose supply, causing tumors to receive less of the fuel they need to grow.

Dr. Rachel Perry with the Yale School of Medicine explains the new study that looked into how exercising reduces cancer risks and improves response to treatment.
