1+ day, 5+ hour ago   (636+ words) Cornell researchers have developed a lightweight wireless device that can record brain activity from animals moving freely in natural environments, giving scientists a new way to study behavior that has been difficult or impossible to reproduce in laboratories. The device,…...

2+ day, 2+ hour ago   (278+ words) University of Rochester researchers have found that a protein long associated with chronic inflammation and aging may also play an important protective role, complicating efforts to target it in therapies for age-related disease. The protein, known as cGAS, can detect…...

3+ day, 22+ hour ago   (229+ words) University of Rochester researchers found that removing a protein associated with persistent inflammation caused mice to age faster, challenging expectations that blocking it could slow aging. The finding suggests the protein, known as cGAS, may have both harmful and protective…...

4+ day, 11+ hour ago   (338+ words) Cornell researchers used artificial intelligence and laboratory testing to identify a previously unknown way cells regulate the movement of proteins, a discovery that could help scientists better understand processes disrupted in cancer. The study, published Sept. 9 in the Journal of…...

4+ day, 11+ hour ago   (467+ words) New York is launching a $10 million, multi-campus SUNY research network focused on Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke and other age-related brain disorders. The SUNY Brain Institute will be led by the University at Buffalo and connect researchers and specialized facilities…...

6+ day, 6+ hour ago   (695+ words) University of Rochester Medicine researchers have identified a protein associated with some of the most severe bone and joint infections, a finding that could eventually help doctors predict which patients are at greatest risk for complications and open the door…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (252+ words) Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have developed molecular tools that can switch specific genes in common intestinal bacteria on or off, a step they say could clarify how the microbes affect health and disease. The work, published Aug. 25 in Nature Biotechnology,…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago   (252+ words) Cornell neuroscientists found that mice use nearly separate groups of brainstem neurons for social ultrasonic calls and the audible squeaks associated with distress or fighting. The study, published Aug. 17 in eNeuro, examined the nucleus retroambiguus, a brainstem region near the…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago   (244+ words) Cornell researchers found that a fast-dissolving nanofiber film released 90% of a three-drug pain medication formula in less than two seconds during laboratory testing. The film, designed as a possible alternative for children, older adults and others who have difficulty chewing…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago   (164+ words) A Cornell-led research team has developed a method for mapping protein interactions inside cancer cells, uncovering a previously overlooked protein that helps stabilize a major factor in tumor growth. The team tested the method in three prostate cancer cell lines....
