In a new study, YSM researchers say a simple #blood test could replace invasive #biopsies for detecting acute cellular rejection (ACR) after a lung #transplant. Their results could help improve outcomes in a vulnerable patient population: bit.ly/43CcGmM

Pancreatic #cancer is among the deadliest cancers, with a five-year #survival rate of just 13%. In a @Yale Q&A, YSM's Luisa Escobar-Hoyos, PhD, explains what makes this "silent disease" so hard to detect – and so challenging to treat after #diagnosis: bit.ly/4nN3ZPT

The #placenta is able to "clear away" the virus that causes #COVID19 during #pregnancy, a YSM team finds in a new study. Their findings are published in @JAMANetworkOpen: bit.ly/4fvc2ib

Military #veterans living with #ChronicPain may be better served by a "whole health" model of care, including coaching support and #health goal planning, than by the current standard, a YSM team writes in a @JAMA_current study: bit.ly/43l7Om0

Members of the MD #Classof2026 saw the culmination of all their hard work in Amistad Park Monday, as YSM's newest class of doctors officially received their diplomas. Thanks to @SketchyLearning co-founder @AndrewBergMD for delivering today's #commencement address, and #congratulations to our graduating MDs! We can't wait to see what you accomplish next.

From afternoons in the garden during his childhood in Italy, to researching the #molecular machinery of the #brain, @YaleNeuro's Pietro de Camilli, PhD, says he's always been driven by a passion for observing #nature and understanding life. Learn more in a YSM Q&A: bit.ly/3RimShx

A particular #BreastCancer #drug could help patients living with treatment-resistant uterine #cancer, a YSM-led team finds in a new study. Their findings are published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research: bit.ly/3R7Pryg

The overall #death rate of children and adolescents increased 6.6% between 2020 and 2023, according to a @Yale_EM study published in @NEJM. Researchers say child deaths from #firearms, motor vehicle crashes and #drug poisoning – the three leading causes of death in U.S. children – all increased over the same span: bit.ly/3PspUPA

The #neurotransmitter known as #GABA most often acts as the #brain's braking system. In a new study published @NeuroCellPress, @YaleNeuro researchers say GABA may sometimes act as a gas pedal instead, enhancing neuronal activity: bit.ly/4ty7tqK

Shivani Garg, director of the #Lupus Clinical Research Program at @YaleIMed, says it's crucial for #researchers to center the clinical experience of #patients in their quest for tomorrow's personalized cures: bit.ly/3Pd6caG

A new form of immunotherapy shows promise for reducing treatment-resistant #kidney #cancers, in a recent #ClinicalTrial published in Cell Reports Medicine: bit.ly/430fPwt

Two patients with the same #cancer diagnosis can often have completely different outcomes. Using a tumor's "#genetic fingerprint," a YSM research team has created a new, open-source tool to determine which of an individual's genes and pathways hold the most #risk. Their findings are published in @GenomeMedicine: bit.ly/4tYEyNv

During a recent appearance on the "Health and Veritas" #podcast, YSM Internal Medicine Chair Wolfram Goessling, MD, PhD, shares how early experiences at the #bedside helped set him on the path to a career in #oncology. bit.ly/4cV50BQ

An international team led by YSM researchers has completed the largest #genetic study of #endometriosis in history, uncovering more than 80 regions of genomic risk and identifying new targets for future #treatment: bit.ly/3P0sZq7

"Autism is one diagnostic label, but it represents many different experiences." In a YSM Q&A, @YaleCSC's @J_McPartland says it's important for #autism #research and care to center the voices and experiences of #autistic people and their families: bit.ly/3R7RJgB

In a new study, @YaleGenetics researchers report that when it comes to your risk of pancreatic #cancer, the types of #fat in your #diet matter more than the amount of fat consumed: medicine.yale.edu/news-article/t…

Poor-quality #diet is the leading #health risk factor in the US, but #nutrition has rarely been given a leading role in medical education. A new YSM curriculum will emphasize the role dietary interventions can play in promoting health and treating disease: medicine.yale.edu/news-article/p…

A groundbreaking #ClinicalTrial underway at YSM seeks to deliver faster, more personalized #chemotherapy for abdominal #cancers. Lead investigator @kturaga, of @YaleSurgery, says the study represents a paradigm shift in cancer surgery in a YSM Q&A: medicine.yale.edu/news-article/p…

A $10 million #gift from Bukhman Philanthropies will benefit #MentalHealth research at YSM's @YaleCSC and YCSC's two initiatives: @YaleEmotion and the #Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program: bit.ly/4u141WZ

#Kidney damage in #lupus has previously been blamed on malfunctioning immune B cells. A new YSM study published in the journal Immunity finds a specific type of #TCell is responsible instead, suggesting new targets for treatment: medicine.yale.edu/news-article/t…
