While recreational cannabis laws have significantly reduced arrests for cannabis possession and sales, racial disparities in arrests still exist, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México and the University of Texas at Austin.
All life forms need to continuously adapt to temperature changes to survive. Now, Weill Cornell Medicine investigators studying a bacterial protein have identified a new mechanism of sensing cold temperatures.
Switching to the oral small molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) orforglipron after taking injectable GLP-1s helped patients maintain most of their weight loss, a clinical trial involving Weill Cornell Medicine has found.
Targeting tumor-specific inflammatory processes in colorectal cancer could enhance the efficacy of some anticancer therapies and prevent drug resistance, Weill Cornell researchers have found.
Microbes that cause an infection remain biochemically active after they die, continuing to trigger a host’s immune system while also making the immune response less effective.
The new freezing method – 30 times faster than current protocols – could be used to improve assisted reproduction in humans or animals or to conserve biodiversity.
Researchers found entropy can help bind certain pairs of molecules faster and more robustly – an approach that could have broad applications in drug development and forming new materials.
