“What is happening to the kidneys of sugarcane workers is not a result of climate change. It is climate change": Anthropologist Alex Nading documents how environmental justice activists are addressing the epidemic.
Cornell researchers have uncovered the surprising role played by a “three-tailed” fat molecule in cellular survival during heart attack and stroke: protecting the cells against damage when oxygen runs out.
The study found heart failure rates were higher in flooded areas, especially in New Jersey, and that the risk persisted for four to five years – not just weeks or months – after the storm.
Cornell researchers have identified the signaling mechanism that triggers steroid-induced glaucoma by creating a 3D “eye-on-a-chip” platform that mimics the flow of ocular fluids.
A Cornell-led collaboration devised a potentially low-cost method for producing antibodies for therapeutic treatments: bioengineered bacteria with an overlooked enzyme that can help monoclonal antibodies boost their immune defenses.
