Currently, there are several explanations for this flexibility that center around bone shape and body composition.
Stem cells can save lives by replacing damaged tissue, yet that process could go terribly wrong, leaving the patient with a tumor instead. A little-known protein variant has the power to predict the outcome, and even suggests explanations for this phenomenon.
Neuroscientists, curious about what generosity looks like in the brain, tell a story of how emotional processing and mirror neurons might encourage social behavior.
Professor Vladimir Rokhlin has won the 2014 William Benter Prize for developing a series of algorithms to solve a baffling problem — a precise calculation of the net force on an object.
Evolution as we know it is driven by mutations in genes. But researchers at Yale were curious about what surrounds a gene. That is, how does a whole gene network evolve?
Thomas Pollard, the Sterling Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, has discovered that “pinching” is a very simplified way to view mitosis.
