Short-term memory may be even more important than we thought.
Eric A. Lazo-Wasem, senior collections manager in the Peabody’s division of invertebrate zoology, recently collected specimens of Eubranchipus holmani, a small species of shrimp that has not been seen in 50 years.
Yale University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS, one of eight HIV research centers in the country, announced yesterday it will receive a grant of $11 million from the National Institute of Mental Health, which will help fund another five years of HIV/AIDS research and health-care projects.
Tiny pieces of RNA were recently discovered by Yale University scientists to play a crucial role in angiogenesis — the formation of blood vessels which is vital for everything from heart disease to the spread of cancer.
In the junkyard of the human genome, Yale scientists have identified a few pieces of DNA that are more than just scrap metal.
The adage “no pain, no gain” may have some truth to it after all. Mothers who give birth vaginally show significantly greater brain activity in response to their baby’s cry than mothers who have chosen a Cesarean section, new research conducted by a group of researchers at the Yale Child Study Center suggests.

To Yale’s scientists, those gleaming, state-of-the-art research buildings seem like the complex’s biggest prize. But art aficionados may argue otherwise. To them, that distinction...
New research at a Yale lab suggests that, within East Asian communities, the prevalence of the genetic variant is associated with culture.
Not all breast cancers are created equal. New genetics research by Olufunmilayo Olopade, a professor in the Department of Medicine and Human Genetics at the University of Chicago, suggests that the type and severity of breast cancer are largely dependent on patients’ ethnicity.
Even as scientists across the country struggle to work around federal restrictions on stem cell research, Yale researchers will now enjoy the benefits of almost $6 million in grants.
