Cornell researchers have uncovered the genetic triggers that cause male and female bovine embryos to develop differently, as early as seven to eight days after fertilization.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers determined that organic residues of plant oils are poorly preserved in calcareous soils from the Mediterranean, leading decades of archaeologists to likely misidentify olive oil in ceramic artifacts.
The findings of a new study reveal how the current instructions for reconstituting powdered formula are ambiguous and can fail to protect against potentially fatal food-borne bacteria.
The Varian Edge linear accelerator provides state-of-the art, non-invasive radiotherapy treatments. The closest comparable facilities are in New York City, and while approximately 40% of veterinary schools have radiation oncology programs, few have access to such technology. Cornell’s Varian Edge replaces machinery previously installed in 2000.
The findings could lead to aquatic plant management strategies that help mitigate the release of gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
Juvenile and subadult bats may be the most likely to spread new coronaviruses to other species, according to a new Cornell study from the College of Veterinary Medicine.
A new study provides an example of asymmetry, a pattern found throughout biology where a pair of organs or appendages that mirror each other have different proportions and may have different functions.
