The use of disposable plasticized medical gowns – both conventional and biodegradable – has surged since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A multitude of digital resources provides information to asylum seekers and other immigrants, but content is often outdated, and potential users worry they may be vulnerable to online tracking.
Mouse pups produce ultrasonic vocalizations, called isolation USVs, when they are separated from the nest.
As the Albert’s lyrebirds’ Australian rainforest habitat shrinks, so does the number of sounds that the bird, a talented mimic, can produce – a degradation of lyrebird “culture” and a hidden loss of vocal diversity, researchers say.
Individuals who were already pregnant at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic had a 50% lower exposure to SARS-CoV-2 compared with those who became pregnant after the pandemic began and the general population, according to a new model created by Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian and University of Oxford investigators.
A new generation of effective weight loss drugs is now available in the U.S., but the drugs’ high cost highlights a reality hurting the nation’s economy and those who want to shed pounds: Obesity is expensive, and so are the treatments.
Nearly every spring break since 1968, Cornell graduate students have traveled south for the Florida Field Course (FFC), an immersion in life science at the Archbold Biological Station, learning firsthand in the scrubland of south-central Florida how to collect data, pursue a specific research question and work in teams.
An artificial intelligence algorithm can determine non-invasively, with about 70% accuracy, if an in vitro fertilized embryo has a normal or abnormal number of chromosomes, according to a new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.
A rare and lethal liver cancer that disproportionately harms young adults, fibrolamellar carcinoma is nearly incurable.
Life in an ant colony is a symphony of subtle interactions between insects acting in concert, more like cells in tissue than independent organisms bunking in a colony.
What drives tumor growth? Is it a few rogue cells imposing their will upon healthy tissue, or diseased tissue bringing out the worst in otherwise peaceable cells?
Like the New York City subway system, the DNA in our cells needs to operate around the clock—and it’s in constant need of repair.
Nearly three years into the pandemic, many of us now carry antibodies against the virus—due to an infection or two, a few doses of mRNA vaccine, or a round of monoclonal-antibody treatment.
Ribosomes, the tiny protein-producing factories within cells, are ubiquitous and look largely identical across the tree of life.
If B cells are the munitions factories of the immune system, manufacturing antibodies to neutralize harmful pathogens, then the tiny biological structures known as germinal centers are its weapons-development facilities.
