Medicine is learned not only in lecture halls and hospital wards, but also in the everyday conversations and interactions where clinicians build lasting relationships with patients over time. For Cynthia McNamara, MD , associate professor of medicine (general medicine) at Yale School of Medicine and a physician at VA Connecticut, those spaces have shaped her approach to ambulatory education, mento

When Raghav Sehgal arrived at Yale as a graduate student several years ago, he wanted to explore the use of powerful computer science tools in cancer research. With an engineering background and a computational biology startup already under his belt, he was well prepared.
The first wave of blockbuster obesity medications, including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), transformed weight loss by achieving levels once thought possible only with bariatric surgery.
Adelaide researchers are challenging decades-old assumptions about brain cancer treatment in a bid to make radiation therapy more effective against tumours, while reducing damage to healthy tissue.

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are sugar-containing membrane lipids that help organize cell surfaces and regulate signaling, immune recognition, differentiation and neuronal function. Human cells produce several hundred GSL species through stepwise modification of their sugar groups, and this diversity begins with a single committed reaction, in which uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) ceramide

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are posing serious threats to genome stability. During mitosis, cells mainly rely on polymerase theta (Polθ) -mediated repair to fix these breaks. However, how the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex regulates this process remains unclear.
