A method developed by Yale scientists helps reveal how antibacterial agents interact with their host cells — a process that could boost a host of applications that benefit society.

A new Yale study offers surprising findings into the development of bacterial biofilms, the oldest form of multicellularity on the planet.

It is well known that cells can adapt to changes in the environment through genetic mechanisms, but a new study finds that they also have another, quicker way to respond.

A team of synthetic biologists have re-written the genetic code of an organism using a novel cellular platform for producing new classes of synthetic proteins.

Yale researchers have uncovered how taste guides mosquitoes’ biting behavior, which may inform efforts to deter biting and halt disease spread.

Incoming FAS faculty member Ailong Ke uses genome editing technologies to understand RNA and help develop new treatments for patients with cancer.

Akiko Iwasaki and Priyamvada Natarajan are part of 2024’s Time 100, a list that includes leaders of government, the arts, athletics, science, and industry.

From a fruit fly infestation that swarms your kitchen to the pesky mosquitos that swarm during the summer seeking blood, insects have held a constant vendetta against humans. Well, we would all like to put down our fly swatters and bug spray. The work of John Carlson may help us tame these pests once and for all.

Plants know winter is coming, but exactly how they detect the seasonal change has never been clear. A new Yale study finds clues in a weed’s “genetic calendar.”

A team of Yale scientists has set out to determine what kinds of cellular interactions lead to effective anti-tumor responses, and which cause tumors to grow.
