Genomic sequencing revealed that populations of wasps that recognized each other's faces – and cooperated more – showed recent adaptations in areas of the genome associated with cognitive abilities such as learning, memory and vision.
Cornell researchers will use a five-year, $3.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate whether chemical inhibitors of epigenetic regulation – including many FDA-approved drugs – could be re-purposed to treat HIV-1 infections that are persistent in tissues and represent the biggest challenge for a cure.
While advancing the understanding of canine diseases, these two-year projects will also explore new avenues for diagnosing chronic pain and develop new models for testing therapies catered to dogs' immune systems.
After over 15 years of preparing future veterinary technicians to enter the workforce, Cornell's preceptorship program remains one of the few of its kind based in a New York referral animal hospital.
Researchers created a new technique to treat Type 1 diabetes: implanting a device inside a pocket under the skin that can secrete insulin while avoiding the immunosuppression that typically stymies management of the disease.
A new study testing the accuracy of existing methods used to predict the genetic variation that cause infertility found that relying on computational or in vitro experiments alone is insufficient.
Researchers are hoping a fly no larger than a grain of rice and a predatory beetle may work together to combat an invasive pest that is devastating hemlocks in Fall Creek and throughout eastern North America.
Dr. Corinna Noel, assistant professor of practice in the Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, recently joined the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Plant pathogens can hitch rides on dust and remain viable, with the potential for traveling across the planet to infect areas far afield, a finding with important implications for global food security and for predicting future outbreaks.
