Statins, once thought risky for people with chronic #liver disease, may actually help prevent complications from certain types of #cirrhosis, says the Yale Department of Internal Medicine’s Tamar Taddei, MD. Learn more: https://t.co/RY25O60qva

Writing in Nature Chemical Biology, a YSM team has unveiled a new tool that could boost the effectiveness of #cancer-fighting #immunotherapy. Researchers at @YaleCancer say it significantly improves the ability to detect and destroy cancer cells. https://t.co/VziqCTlF0q

The #brain network that helps interpret #social stimuli is already active in the first weeks after birth, according to a new study from @YalePsych and @YaleCSC. This could help to understand and support social difficulties like those seen in #autism. https://t.co/itVRK36iGD

Findings shared by researchers in the Yale Department of Internal Medicine could pave the way for #EarlyDetection of, and #vaccination against, leptospirosis and other #bacterial pathogens. Learn more: https://t.co/qkPCbcaJCj

Adults with neurodiversity can face mobility challenges that limit their independence & employment. See how Waymo could help.

A YSM study published in Nature Communications unveils how the brain creates and refers to mental maps to help navigate real-world spaces. The findings could have broader implications for managing intrusive memories or #hallucinations. Learn more: https://t.co/RZslSH2d8D

People with #HIV experience higher levels of #inflammaging, the chronic, low-grade inflammation and #immune dysfunction associated with age. YSM researchers will take an interdisciplinary approach to this complex issue. Learn more: https://t.co/QVGzFD9xx8

New research published in Science Immunology helps explain how and why the nucleus of a killer #TCell can travel the whole length of the cell to help clear out #infections. https://t.co/1eTDwECTkC

#Congratulations to Benjamin L. Judson, MD, Charles W. Ohse Professor of #Surgery (Otolaryngology), who has accepted the position of Chair @YaleSurgery, surgeon-in-chief for @ynhhealth and chief of surgery for @YNHH. He has served in these roles on an interim basis for 6 months.

Chronic, low-grade inflammation increases as we age, in a process scientists call “inflammaging.” In a new study, Yale researchers identify a type of #immune cell in fat tissue, which helps fight chronic #inflammation but decreases in number with #age. https://t.co/k9hrsYFuYd

YSM researchers and colleagues in #Ghana report elevated levels of the enzyme serum heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in patients with #SickleCell disease. Researchers say their results could open the door to new #treatments for sickle cell complications: https://t.co/MkG4Blc9v2

Since 2021, patients have immediate access to all data in their electronic health record (#EHR). A YSM-led study finds for children with #cancer and their families, transparency brings greater empowerment, but also anxiety and physician #burnout: https://t.co/2MRjI7mmk6

Fluctuations in #brain activity, also called neural variability, help humans adapt their behavior to new situations. In a new study, a YSM team finds neural variability increases steadily through #childhood before stabilizing in the #teenage years: https://t.co/4z5gbQ7k2x

Susan Ely, MD, was recently appointed director of the #autopsy service at @yalepathology . In a @Yale Q&A, Ely discusses her career as a #medicalexaminer, the "#CSI effect," and why she sees herself as an "ambassador" for the field: https://t.co/Y9ijbB1Ytc

A new @Yale study finds #GLP1 weight loss drugs slow down the metabolization of #alcohol, reducing damage to the #liver but potentially leading to higher blood alcohol levels. @YaleIMed scientists say more research is needed: https://t.co/S8TfzvZFsf

#Congratulations to @YaleIMed's Kevan Herold, MD, who has been selected to receive the 2025 August M. Watanabe Prize in Translational Research, presented by @IUMedSchool. The award honors Herold's efforts to translate scientific #discoveries into new #therapies for patients.

Congrats @KnowingAlok on cutting edge work using deep learning of genomics🧬 to id risk for Alzheimer’s disease, providing long sought after mechanistic insights as to why GLP1RA⬇️risk! Highlighted by Dr Ross’ presidential address @TheNewANA1 #ANA2025 @EricTopol🧠↔️🫀 coming!

#Genetic testing can help diagnose #immune system defects, but sometimes results don't indicate a clear path forward. YSM researchers have identified groups of variants associated with certain clinical features, paving the way for future #treatments: https://t.co/mjs07EBnGv

Even after a successful kidney #transplant, patients often remain at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and #heart failure. @YaleIMed researchers identify especially high-#risk groups and recommend strategies to improve outcomes: https://t.co/CsWogwiPYW

#Asthma can present very differently for #male and #female patients. In a new study, @YaleIMed researchers uncover genetic differences between the sexes that help explain why: https://t.co/Yw1UbkhEsY

In a new study in @CurrentBiology, YSM researchers identify a type of #brain cell that drives mammals' social behaviors in youth, but slowly loses this role in #adulthood. Results help explain how humans' and other animals' #social needs evolve as we #age: https://t.co/FpdRK5XOnJ
