Exploring the frontiers of immunity and healing
During a 1989 lecture at the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology, Yale School of Medicine professor Charles Janeway, MD, hypothesized the existence of an innate immune system and special receptors on immune cells (currently known as toll-like receptors) that trigger the body's response to infection. Janeway's research later confirmed his insights, providing the foundation of future endeavors exploring the intricacies of the human immune response. New discoveries continue to reveal an exquisitely tuned immune system in which inflammatory responses and healing are initiated and regulated by known and unknown mechanisms.

Spurring the body to repair itself
Carla Rothlin, Ph.D., who arrived at Yale in 2009, has been recognized for her basic science work within various autoimmune diseases, including asthma, lupus, Crohn’s disease, and colitis. In 2016, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Simons Foundation made Rothlin one of their inaugural group of HHMI Faculty Scholars, part of a program to support early-career scientists who pursue primarily basic research projects.

Macrophages need two signals to begin healing process
In the immune system, macrophages act not only as soldiers responding to invading pathogens but also help rebuild the injured tissue once the infection is defeated. A new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers published in the journal Science show how they accomplish this seemingly unrelated task.
