Understanding Hodgkin lymphoma cell origins could yield better diagnostics

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, that Hodgkin lymphoma cancer cells from patient samples are immune cells stuck in an “identity crisis.”

A new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine found that a protein long thought to be a foot soldier in the body’s defense against bacterial infection, does not actually help clear invaders the way its close cousin does.

Reminiscing may ease grief when caring for people with dementia

Caring for a family member with dementia can feel like losing a loved one who is still alive, but a new study suggests that revisiting memories together through a simple digital tool can help ease that grief.
