Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified an early step in a cellular process that leads to inflammation in fat cells and may result in Type 2 diabetes in people with obesity.
A three-year, $4.5 million grant will support a three-pronged research project to map the brain circuits that contribute to mood shifts in bipolar disorder and help develop personalized therapies for the condition.
To equip astronauts with health choices for future missions, a Cornell postdoctoral fellow is leading research with AstroCup, a group that recently tested two menstrual cups in spaceflight as payload on an uncrewed rocket flight.
New York City’s mostly indoor cats easily caught SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic – and most were asymptomatic and were likely infected by their owners.
The federal research funding supporting projects across the university, including the development of a pediatric heart pump, has been restarted, but those lost months of work will have a lasting impact.
Hypertension impairs blood vessels, neurons and white matter in the brain well before the condition causes a measurable rise in blood pressure, according to a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
Cornell researchers have developed a powerful new biosensor that reveals, in unprecedented detail, how and where kinases – enzymes that control nearly all cellular processes – turn on and off inside living cells.
