The Department of Cell Biology at the Yale University School of Medicine was established in 1983. It was preceded by the Section of Cell Biology, which was formed in 1973 when George E. Palade and collaborators came to Yale from the Rockefeller University. Cell Biology at Yale had its origins in the Department of Anatomy that existed from the beginning of classes at the Medical Institution of Y...

Students in an interdisciplinary program explored the manufacture of biomedical knowledge in a problem-based course. Because the class size was two to three times larger than the normal tutorial group, suitable modifications were made (formation of floating groups around defined learning tasks, formal presentations, written reports, and evaluations by students and tutor). A variety of problems ...

Observing someone perform an action engages brain regions involved in motor planning, such as the inferior frontal, premotor, and inferior parietal cortices. Recent research suggests that during action observation, activity in these neural regions can be modulated by membership in an ethnic group defined by physical differences. In this study we expanded upon previous research by matching physi...

In 1921, Pearl S. Buck gave birth to a daughter, Carol, who became severely retarded and was eventually institutionalized at the Vineland Training School in New Jersey. To help pay for her daughter's care, Buck wrote The Good Earth in 1931, and then other novels and biographies about her life in China, for which she was awarded the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, and honored around the world. Years ...

Hunter Holmes McGuire, MD is best recognized as the friend and personal physician of the famous Civil War general, Stonewall Jackson. Two major biographies written about Dr McGuire discuss his life, devoting 40% to 75% of their length to the Civil War.1,2 However, Dr Stuart McGuire (Dr McGuire's son) has published a more balanced biography, which outlines the major contributions Dr McGuire made...

means that the wider context of medicine at Helmstedt is lost. Conring's defence of Harvey's theory of the circulation of the blood, and the theses that he directed in furtherance of his ideas from 1640 to 1645, needed much more than passing mention, not least since the theses were neglected by Edwin Rosner, Michael Stolleis and, very recently, Roger French in their accounts of Conring's recept...
