Pain-sensing gut neurons protect against inflammation

Neurons that sense pain protect the gut from inflammation and associated tissue damage by regulating the microbial community living in the intestines, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Stem cell-based genomic study yields insights on viral infection

A mitochondrial gene plays a crucial role in genetic susceptibility to Zika, Dengue and SARS-CoV-2 infections, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Gene duo protects blood vessel health

Two genes working in concert sustain the integrity of healthy blood vessels, Weill Cornell Medicine investigators discovered in new research.

Symposium generates momentum for Engineering Innovations in Medicine

More than 70 faculty from Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Engineering and Cornell Tech assembled Oct. 1 at the Statler Ballroom — and more joined remotely — to kick off the Cornell Engineering Innovations in Medicine initiative.

Psychedelic drugs flatten the brain’s dynamic landscape

The psychedelic drugs LSD and psilocybin activate serotonin receptors on brain cells in a way that reduces the energy needed for the brain to switch between different activity states, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

Fungal association with tumors may predict worse outcomes

The presence of some fungal species in tumors predicts – and may even help drive – worse cancer outcomes, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University researchers.

Cornell chemists contributed to Nobel Prize-winning work

As doctoral students nearly 20 years ago, two Cornell researchers played an early role in the development of the work that was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

Novel technique reveals surprising way to suppress tumor cells

By analyzing key enzymes in a new way, an international team led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine has discovered how a well-known signaling molecule can either stimulate or suppress tumor growth depending on where it’s produced.
