Cornell researchers have uncovered the surprising role played by a “three-tailed” fat molecule in cellular survival during heart attack and stroke: protecting the cells against damage when oxygen runs out.
The study found heart failure rates were higher in flooded areas, especially in New Jersey, and that the risk persisted for four to five years – not just weeks or months – after the storm.
Cornell researchers have identified the signaling mechanism that triggers steroid-induced glaucoma by creating a 3D “eye-on-a-chip” platform that mimics the flow of ocular fluids.
A Cornell-led collaboration devised a potentially low-cost method for producing antibodies for therapeutic treatments: bioengineered bacteria with an overlooked enzyme that can help monoclonal antibodies boost their immune defenses.
Surrounded by friends and family, 106 students in the Class of 2029 participated in Weill Cornell Medical College’s annual White Coat Ceremony on Aug. 12, officially marking the beginning of their medical education.
