Sometimes anticancer antibodies press on the gas and the brakes at the same time. New research might help them accelerate better
Wild land mammals weigh less than 10 percent of the combined weight of humans and are outweighed by cattle and other domesticated mammals by a factor of 30
The normal, symmetric formation of the vertebrate eyes is coordinated by a molecular sensor that responds to mechanical force
COVID is not yet under control. Despite a bevy of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and antivirals, the virus continues to mutate and elude us.
Ants are known as hard workers, tirelessly attending to their assigned tasks—foraging for food, nurturing larvae, digging tunnels, tidying the nest.

A study published Jan. 9 in the journal Nature Aging shows that aged bone marrow promotes the expansion of arterial smooth muscle cells, which exacerbates the buildup of fatty deposits in artery walls.
Scientists have revealed and elaborated on the global biomass and population of insects and other arthropods in a research article published by Science Advances in early 2023.
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) recently agreed to recognize viriforms as a new category of virus-derived genetic elements, viroids and satellite nucleic acids, according to an MDPI article published Feb. 3.
Scientists have developed a new mouse model with a high clonal barcode diversity for joint lineage, transcriptomic, and epigenomic profiling in single cells, according to a report published by bioRxiv on Jan. 31.
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications shows that synthetic production of certain virus vectors could be the key to improving gene therapy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In the course of experiments to test how well commercial bumblebees pollinate early spring crops, researchers made a surprising discovery: dead wild bumblebee queens in the hives, an average of 10 per nest box.
