#Scleroderma progression is often measured with a simple "pinch test" to assess skin thickness. In our ongoing series on #AIatYSM, @YaleRheumAller1's Monique Hinchcliff, MD, shares how #AI tools can help give clinicians a more holistic view: bit.ly/4fpDfkB
In a recent study, @YaleOph researchers report that severe #COVID infection causes buildup of proteins associated with #Alzheimers disease in the central nervous system, helping to explain #brainfog and other neurological symptoms: bit.ly/4lXRPBP

A YSM and @ynhhealth team led by @YNeurosurgery’s Murat Günel, MD, will use a $27.7 million grant from Aligning Research to Impact Autism to improve #communication in people with #autism, developing non-invasive methods to modify affected brain circuits. bit.ly/40gnCWe
Making #addiction treatment more accessible to everyone: In a new study, YSM researchers explore barriers to accessing #opioid use disorder (OUD) care after #emergency department visits, and shed light on the importance of a strong social support system: bit.ly/4lYASXU

#ENPP1 deficiency, a genetic disease affecting bone and blood vessel health, also causes hearing loss in up to 75% of patients. @yalepathology researchers say a new #enzyme replacement therapy could reverse that #hearingloss: bit.ly/3IFU3Hy

In a new study published in @PNASNews, @YaleNeuro researchers show how #braincells store their own #sugar in a "backup battery" that kicks in to keep the #brain running in times of high metabolic stress: bit.ly/3TTgHi5

"If the funding is cut, nobody’s going to be able to benefit — not me, not my kids, not my grandchildren." At Yale, Bill and Fran Barrett found more than a clinical trial. They found hope in the face of a rare neurodegenerative disease. Their journey reflects the ripple effect…
In a new YSM study published in @JAMANetworkOpen, #AI significantly outperformed human-eye assessments in scoring #immune response to #melanoma. The study underscores AI's power to improve clinical decision making: bit.ly/4nLptwc

Protect what matters — and who makes it possible. For more than 20 years, Kim Zichichi has been an essential member of Yale labs that help fight cancer, childhood illness, and more. Her work — and the work of research staff across the country — fuels discoveries that ripple far…
Researchers at @yalepathology say high-resolution image scanning and #AI algorithms are improving speed and portability to move #diagnosis and #healthcare into the digital age: bit.ly/3TzwySO

Register for our July 31 @ 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET webinar with #MECFS Catalyst Award winner @VirusesImmunity (@YaleMed). Dr. Iwasaki will discuss her study, “Probing Functional Autoantibodies in Patients with ME/CFS.” 👉ow.ly/eVNv50VReaH #MECFS
The Somatic Mosaiciscm across Human Tissues (#SMaHT) Network will bring together over 300 researchers from institutions including YSM to catalog #genetic #mutations across individual lifespans, shedding new light on which mutations are linked to #disease: bit.ly/40kw2vM

The Computational #Biology and Biomedical Informatics (CBB) program at @YaleBIDS takes a multidisciplinary approach to apply the latest #AI and data technology to #healthcare systems. CBB graduate Huan Li, PhD, shares how she's applying her training: bit.ly/4lOFsrL

A team led by @YalePediatrics' Marie Egan, MD, has developed a #geneediting #treatment that could cure #CysticFibrosis, a lethal genetic disorder, in utero: bit.ly/4lotcyo

Look forward to sharing our science led by @Cross_JL & @shawnwahi @YaleMed @YaleCardiology @YaleIMed @YaleCancer @escardio 2025 in Madrid Spain! #AI #LLM #CMR & #ML models to predict ICI cardiotoxicity w/new risk calculator @attilafehermd @ibolya_csecs @mtysar @MariamBaigMD
In a new "evolutionary" #clinicaltrial, YSM researchers at @YaleCancer will work with a multi-institutional team to monitor changes in patients with metastatic #breast #cancer and guide treatment choices as their tumors change: bit.ly/4eH5F9c

#Congratulations to @snigdhajain89 and @Bubu_Banini of @YaleIMed, who have been recognized as 2025 Scholars in Diagnostic Excellence by @theNAMedicine. Learn more about how their projects will bring advanced #datascience to #liver care and the #ICU: bit.ly/4nKqWmo

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a type of #immunotherapy that show effectiveness against #cancer – but in some cases, ICIs can induce #diabetes. @YaleIMed's Ana Luisa Perdigoto, MD, PhD, is working to get to the bottom of this rare side effect: bit.ly/44EmCMY

#Mitochondria are key to healthy #brain function. In a @Yale Q&A, @NeurologyYale's Elizabeth Jonas, MD, discusses how damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria can lead to #neurological disorders: bit.ly/4lJC2Gx

B-cell depletion #drugs can stop the progression of multiple sclerosis (#MS) in its tracks. In a new @jclinicalinvest study, a team led by @NeurologyYale chair @DavidHaflerMD identifies the mechanism that allows these #therapies to be so effective: bit.ly/3TWxy3k
