A team of Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has developed a computer model that will help scientists more efficiently develop protein-destroying therapies, a newer type of treatment that is particularly promising for cancer.
Targeting launch Aug. 30, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will attempt to directly image a set of exoplanets selected with help from Cornell faculty member Dmitry Savransky.
Tuberculosis bacteria released into the air from infected individuals dry out to form infectious particles that are second only to measles in contagiousness, Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have found.
Studying two decades of data collected through the Empire State Poll, researchers have found that the cost of living dominates respondents’ key concerns, eclipsing other priorities, such as the environment.
Seven Cornell research teams have received Center for Advanced Technology grants to advance early-stage life science technologies through collaborations with biotechnology companies across New York state.
Diet changes and infection resize an organism’s intestines through different cellular strategies. In malnourished fruit flies, infectious microbes became a source of food, not just a threat.
A study led by Cornell researchers suggests the real-world potential of “enhanced weathering” — spreading crushed basalt on farmland as a way to removed CO2 — may be far smaller than widely cited estimates.
