A new study describes how an interdisciplinary team of Cornell researchers used a state-of-the-art microscopy technique to reveal protein structures and key steps of a CRISPR-Cas system that holds promise for developing an improved gene editing tool.
The specialized endothelial cells that line the blood vessels in the lung may hold the key to treating the common and often-fatal lung disease emphysema, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian.
The genetic changes that underlie an especially lethal type of prostate cancer, called neuroendocrine prostate cancer, have been revealed in a new study at Weill Cornell Medicine. Learning more about what causes this type of cancer could lead to new approaches for treating it.
Black patients who have chronic liver failure, also known as end-stage liver disease, are less likely to be placed on a waiting list for a life-saving liver transplant than other racial and ethnic groups, according to a study.
Breeding Insight, a new program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through Cornell University, will share latest tools with breeders in the U.S.
After stifling temperatures parked over the Pacific Northwest in late June, scientists – including Cornell’s Flavio Lehner – said climate change triggered it.
A Cornell-led team has used transdisciplinary systems modeling to calculate the future health benefits of vehicle electrification, driverless cars and ride-sharing in the United States.
