A new clinical trial led by Jesse Cedarbaum, MD, professor of neurology, and David Hafler, MD , William S. and Lois Stiles Edgerly Professor of Neurology, is the first such study to test whether a drug can slow or prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease in people at risk.
Thirteen percent of U.S. children aged 3–17 have a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition, and American youth suicide rates far exceed those of peer countries. But the popular story — a sudden, smartphone-driven collapse — doesn't fit five decades of data. This series examines where the crisis comes from, which interventions demonstrably help, and what we still need to learn.
Professor Arun Natarajan of Yale is among a team of researchers tapped by the Army Research Office to lead the development of low size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) systems that can rapidly sense, identify and locate sources of electromagnetic signals in contested environments. Backed by $9 million over the next six years, the academic-industry partnership will work to provide the U.S. military
Scholars, students, and thought leaders from across the Yale community next week will engage with partners from across the region, the U.S ., and the world to explore solutions to the climate crisis during a summit at the Yale Club of New York City.

Visual artists can consult a digital color wheel to test relationships between different shades. Audio engineers can alter soundwave frequencies to create complex tones and harmonies. But no digital tools exist that can predict how people will perceive the blend of scents wafting from a steaming cup of coffee or a freshly baked apple pie.

Recreating the intricate structure of the human intestine in a laboratory could give scientists a better way to study disease and potential treatments — while reducing their reliance on animal experiments in the process. With support from a $72,419 grant, University of Arkansas at Little Rock researcher Dr. Sujan Ghosh is working to make that ...

Adelaide University researchers will investigate why Australia has the highest rate of early-onset bowel cancer in the world as part of a national collaboration into the causes of the killer disease.
Adelaide University researchers have developed a new way of using mRNA technology to reprogram tumour-supporting immune cells and strengthen the body’s anti-cancer immune response. The scientific team, spanning engineering, biomedical, oncology and immunology experts, has developed tiny, targeted particles that could help the immune system fight cancer by reprogramming immune cells within the tumour environment. The findings have been published in Science Advances today. The new approach uses li

Living human cells will launch aboard a European research rocket next month as South Australian researchers use space to investigate cancer in a radically different environment.
Dogs trained in scent detection may be better at sniffing out the right smell after breakfast, with new research finding hungry dogs that are working for treats are more likely to falsely identify the wrong scent.
A team of UTHealth Houston researchers slowed and even reversed diabetic nerve damage in mice, bringing researchers one step closer to developing a treatment for humans.
