Flowers unfold with surprising precision, despite unruly genes

Flowers grow stems, leaves and petals in a perfect pattern again and again. A new Cornell study shows that even in this precise, patterned formation in plants, gene activity inside individual cells is far more chaotic than it appears.

Happy together: Peroxide binds incompatible polymers for recycling

Researchers developed an inexpensive and potentially scalable approach to bind together a pair of popular but incompatible polymers, thereby creating a more useful, high-quality plastic recycling additive.

AI tool accurately sorts cancer patients by their likely outcomes

A new artificial intelligence-based method accurately sorts cancer patients into groups that have similar characteristics before treatment and similar outcomes after treatment, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Novel molecular maneuver helps malaria parasite dodge the immune system

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can shut down a key set of genes, rendering itself “immunologically invisible” — sometimes for years.
