Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of health care, offering new tools for earlier diagnosis of disease and more precise tracking of treatment outcomes.
The seasonal timing of when infants receive the new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunization is crucial for ensuring its effectiveness, according to Yale research published in ...
Scientists have uncovered more than 20 genes whose mutations cause familial forms of Parkinson鈥檚 disease. One of these genes is known as VPS13C, and mutations in this gene may contribute to the disease鈥檚 onset by causing the 鈥渢rash cans鈥� of cells to malfunction, Yale researchers repor...
Patients in the early stages of psychosis respond to treatments differently than those who have developed a chronic version of the disorder. Understanding the neurobiological changes from early to chronic stages is essential for developing targeted prevention and treatment strategies. But how symptoms change during this tran...
To better understand decision-making, researchers can create computational models鈥攇roups of equations that aim to predict what decisions people would make when faced with a set of choices. For example, a model might estimate how people would respond when given the choice between receiving a guaranteed amount of money or a ...
There鈥檚 a mysterious connection between our skin and our guts, specifically when it comes to food allergies. For reasons scientists don鈥檛 fully understand, chronic skin conditions such as eczema are linked to food allergies; while the national prevalence of childhood food allergies is only around 8%, that prevale...
Most older adults prioritize retaining the ability to bathe, dress, walk, and perform household tasks independently as they age. Yet much remains to be understood about the causes of disability among this age group. In a new Yale study, ...
A new study suggests that medication interruptions among children and young adults taking medicine for chronic conditions happened more often in states that had the biggest drops in Medicaid enrollment during the recent 鈥渦nwinding鈥� process.
Rutgers University has received a $3.7 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to explore why some people struggle to resist everyday temptations and how that may play a role in various mental health conditions, including addiction, depression and impulse-control problems.

Researchers from UC San Diego found that children diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are at significantly increased risk of premature death and serious long-term health complications. The study, which followed 1,096 children over an average of 8.5 years. Nearly half of all deaths in the cohort were liver-related, and the overall mortality rate was 40 times higher than that of similar peers in the general U.S. population.
A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer鈥檚 disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function that triggers a pathway that disrupts how cells in the brain turn genes on and off.
In a study, University of Michigan researchers have created nanodiscs that can target cholesterol levels in GBM, starving the cancer cells and increasing survival rates of the treated mice.
Telemedicine use in 2023 reduced monthly carbon dioxide emissions by the equivalent of up to 130,000 gas operated vehicles or recycling up to 4 million trash bags, suggesting it could have a positive effect on climate change
Much like human beings, songbirds learn how to vocalize from their parents. Males imitate songs from their fathers and then sing to attract mates.
By mapping the subcellular architecture of tumor cells, researchers can better understand how mutations cause cancer.
In a study of the immune systems of mice, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have found a new role for a protein, QRICH1, which could become a target for drugs to dial up or down the activation of T cells to fight cancers and autoimmune diseases.
