A mitochondrial gene plays a crucial role in genetic susceptibility to Zika, Dengue and SARS-CoV-2 infections, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
A new leadership position in the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation (OVPRI) is among the steps announced Oct. 13 to sustain successful strategies and initiatives in support of collaborative, interdisciplinary research.
The center, with more than 120 faculty members, builds on the multidisciplinary nature of research into the immune system, with links between infection biology, vaccine development, genetics, genomics, malignancy and biomedical engineering.
The psychedelic drugs LSD and psilocybin activate serotonin receptors on brain cells in a way that reduces the energy needed for the brain to switch between different activity states, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.
People with autism spectrum disorder can be classified into four distinct subtypes based on their brain activity and behavior, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
Powering augmented and virtual reality technologies to tackle real-world problems is the focus of a two-year, $1.8 million grant from Meta and Spark AR to Cornell Bowers CIS and Cornell Tech’s XR Collaboratory.
The presence of some fungal species in tumors predicts – and may even help drive – worse cancer outcomes, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University researchers.
An advanced software tool for analyzing DNA sequences from tumor samples has uncovered likely new cancer-driving genes, in a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have demonstrated how amyloid beta, a peptide associated with Alzheimer’s disease, can interact with a protein receptor on immune cells in the brain. This triggers a reaction that damages blood vessels and causes neurodegeneration.
An American Heart Association Presidential Advisory outlines an ambitious plan to increase rigorous research on initiatives aimed at providing food as medicine for chronic conditions.
