The Baker Institute for Animal Health has evolved and grown since its founding 70 years ago, and its breakthroughs regarding canine infectious diseases have established it as a global center for animal health research.
Inhibiting an important signaling pathway in brain-resident immune cells may calm brain inflammation and thereby slow the disease process in Alzheimer’s and some other neurodegenerative diseases, a study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators suggests.
Breeding Insight, a new program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through Cornell University, will share latest tools with breeders in the U.S.
The funding will support preliminary disease-related research, in the latest in a series of efforts to create new opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
By mapping all the protein interactions of a dementia-linked protein in the brain called Tau, a team of Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has created a road map for identifying potential new treatment targets for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.
Cornell researchers used machine learning to predict with near-perfect accuracy how genes are transferred between bacteria, an approach that could potentially be used to stop the spread of antibiotic resistance.
Pound for pound, the brain consumes vastly more energy than other organs. Now, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have found that the process of packaging neurotransmitters may be responsible for this energy drain.
Cornell startups Ava Labs have new key partnerships with Deloitte and Mastercard, while university startup companies SwiftScale Biologics and Novomer have been acquired.
Moonshadow, a new variety of grape tomato, is a high-flavor, traditionally bred tomato derived from crosses with heirloom varieties. It’s aimed at organic growers, small farms and home gardeners.
Among participants who had hepatitis C and who injected drugs, those treated at a non-stigmatizing “accessible care” treatment center co-located with a syringe service program were nearly three times more likely to be cured, according to new research.
