Stress-fighting proteins could lead to asthma treatments

Weill Cornell Medical College investigators have discovered the precise molecular steps that enable immune cells implicated in certain forms of asthma and allergy to develop and survive in the body.

Things to Do, July 6-31

Events on campus in July include free lectures, concerts and performances; Staff Development Day, classic films outdoors on Willard Straight Terrace and a summer earth science symposium.

CaRDI event to focus on strong families, communities

The 2015 Community Development Institute at Cornell July 14-15 will focus on strong families, strong communities and strategies to support the connections between them.

Polymer mold makes perfect silicon nanostructures

Cornell polymer engineers have made a mold for nanostructures that can shape liquid silicon out of an organic polymer material, paving the way for perfect, single crystal nanostructures.

Waiting to harvest after a rain enhances food safety

Aiming to protect consumers from foodborne illness, produce farmers should wait 24 hours after a rain or irrigating their field to harvest crops - to reduce the risk to a major foodborne pathogen.

IT has helped scholars collaborate, now may diversify

At a conference for Cornell IT workers, panelists reviewed the history of computer networking and discussed the role of women in computer science.

Trapping vortices key to high-current superconductors

Researchers have found that irradiation of material creates nanometer-sized defects that trap swirling eddies in the flow of electrons, keeping them out of the way so more current can flow through superconductors.

Research finds protein regulation linked to cells' growth cycle

Cornell researchers have gained a new insight into the way cells regulate the expression of their genes, and were surprised to find this regulation closely linked to the a cell’s cycle of growth and division.

President Garrett sends message to faculty and staff

On her first day as Cornell University president, Elizabeth Garrett sent a message to faculty and staff.

New era begins, as President Garrett arrives on campus

The administration of Cornell President Elizabeth Garrett officially began today. Her formal installation as Cornell’s 13th – and first female – leader will be held Friday, Sept. 18, at 10 a.m. on the Arts Quad.

Food order impacts glucose and insulin levels

Weill Cornell Medical College researchers have found that the order in which obese patients with type 2 diabetes eat food matters and may help control glucose levels.

3-D scans of mating fruit flies uncover female biology

Cornell researchers used cutting-edge X-ray technology to noninvasively image fruit flies during and after mating, revealing changes that occur in the female fruit flies' reproductive tract.
