A massive scientific initiative to decode how aging reshapes the human body reached a major milestone this month. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet) published its first wave of discoveries, highlighted by a cover commentary in the journal Cell led by Rong Fan, PhD, Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) and of Pathology at Yale School of Medicine (YSM), alongside researchers from nine other institutions.

A new study co-led by Yale scientists reveals that antibodies from some long COVID patients attacked brain and nerve tissues, a finding that could point toward treatments.

Stem cells have reshaped modern biology. At Yale School of Medicine, researchers are uncovering how they function and how to harness them for human health.

Researchers in the Vascular Biology and Therapeutics Program are working to address chronic inflammation, heart disease, and more.

Growing evidence from Yale suggests that regular physical activity can help lower cancer risk and improve outcomes. Experts emphasize that while exercise isn’t a cure-all, even moderate activity may offer meaningful benefits.

David A. Alagpulinsa, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Comparative Medicine, has received a New Investigator Gateway Award for Collaborative T1D Research from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and two Breakthrough T1D Innovative Awards.

Calorie restriction lowers C3, an immune protein tied to aging and inflammation, improving health without requiring weight loss.

Yale investigators, in collaboration with a team of international scientists, have nearly doubled the known genetic landscape of endometriosis, a chronic and often debilitating inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women worldwide. Renato Polimanti, PhD, MSc, is senior author of the paper, published in Nature Genetics.

Scientists found a potential target for achieving the healthy longevity that can come with calorie restriction, without the negative effects it can have on the immune system.
