An experimental contraceptive drug candidate developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators temporarily stops sperm in their tracks and prevents pregnancies in preclinical models.
Researchers with the College of Veterinary Medicine have confirmed the first cases of canine distemper virus (CDV), which can cause fatal neurological disease, in tigers and leopards in Nepal.
A new screening tool identified roughly half of primary care patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) who could benefit from available treatments, according to a nationwide study.
Many important decisions boil down to a choice between the supposed safety of sticking with what we know and the risk of going out on a limb for a chance at getting something even better.
Black and Hispanic patients were more likely than white patients to develop a wide array of lasting symptoms and conditions after a COVID-19 diagnosis, according to a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators.
Current state-of-the-art instrumentation being sent to Mars to collect and analyze evidence of ancient life on the red planet may not be sensitive enough to make accurate assessments, according to an international research team co-led by a Cornell astrobiologist.
The lack of data on MD/PhD students from minority backgrounds could hinder efforts to make these programs more inclusive, says a McMaster University study published by Academic Medicine.
An enzyme that drives the growth of an often-lethal childhood brain cancer may hold the key to a future treatment, says a McMaster University-led study.
To develop more efficient next-generation materials for solar energy harvesting, researchers must learn to control the way molecules interact – their “coherence” when they absorb light.
Infections that can’t be treated with antibiotics are a global health crisis and experts are calling for the Canadian government to use COVID-19 resources to address the “silent pandemic” of superbugs.
Science fiction writes about and postulates alternative universes to ours, but these are fictional scenarios.
Surgical masks are not inferior to N95 masks for preventing the spread of COVID-19 to health-care workers, says a study led by McMaster University researchers.
An interdisciplinary collaboration 10 years in the making used a materials science approach to “fingerprint” the calcium mineral deposits known as microcalcifications that reveal pathological clues to the progression of breast cancer and potentially other diseases.
When scientists disabled a single regulatory gene in a species of sea anemone, a stinging cell that shoots a venomous miniature harpoon for hunting and self-defense shifted to shoot a sticky thread that entangles prey instead, according to a new study.
A new study sheds light on unique processes that bestow naked mole-rats with what seems like eternal fertility, findings that could eventually point to new therapies for people.
When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational waves outward in all directions.
Scanning the first images of a well-known early galaxy taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Cornell astronomers were intrigued to see a blob of light near its outer edge.
A small but significant metabolic difference between human and mouse lung tumor cells has been discovered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, explaining a discrepancy in previous study results and pointing toward new strategies for developing cancer treatments.
Imagine a world with precision medicine, where a swarm of microrobots delivers a payload of medicine directly to ailing cells.
Using Cornell Lab of Ornithology data, a new study finds that birds that have evolved to be more social are less likely to kick other birds off a bird feeder or a perch.
