‘Three-tailed’ lipid helps cells survive during heart attack, stroke

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.

Self-assembling magnetic microparticles mimic biological error correction

A Cornell-led collaboration developed microscale magnetic particles that can mimic the ability of biomolecules to self-assemble into complex structures, while also reducing the parasitic waste that would otherwise clog up production.

‘Eye-on-a-chip’ reveals trigger for steroid-induced glaucoma

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.
