A new study provides evidence that a spillover of avian influenza from birds to dairy cattle across several U.S. states has now led to mammal-to-mammal transmission – between cows and from cows to cats and a raccoon.
The work aims to understand how stem cells function to fuel normal tissue maintenance and to repair injuries in actively regenerative tissues, such as skin.
When hunting for mice in winter, red and arctic fox are known to plunge headfirst into snow but their sharp noses reduce the impact force and protect them from injury, according to a new study.
Cornell researchers built miniature VR headsets to immerse mice more deeply in virtual environments that can help reveal the neural activity that informs spatial navigation and memory function and generate new insights into disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and its potential treatments.
Scientists build a small "outhouse" to collect fecal samples from woodpeckers. They want to uncover the role that woodpeckers play in the emerald ash borer invasion.
A small experimental apple orchard at Cornell’s Hudson Valley Research Laboratory may soon be topped by solar panels, which would capture the sun’s energy and may prove beneficial to the trees.
Households in Cambodia caught and consumed a far more diverse array of fish than they sold at market, highlighting how biodiversity loss might affect people’s nutrition, especially for those with lower incomes.
