Cornell researchers have used artificial intelligence to uncover a previously unknown way cells control how proteins move inside them, a process essential for growth, communication and movement, and o...

This discovery could help engineer living materials into different forms, such as the custom of growing bridges from roots in India, and breeding kale so it’s smooth instead of crinkly.

Edgar Medina Tovar joins the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology and the College of Arts & Sciences as an assistant research professor in September. He will begin as an assistant professor ...

Vincent Cerbantez-Bueno, elected as a NAASC Early Career Scholar in 2024, interviews former NAASC faculty member Adrienne Roeder about her career: her background and personal journey to becoming a pla...

Fischer investigates how cells detect and repair organelle damage, and how these processes influence inflammation and the progression of neurodegenerative disease.

For research excellence into how living structures recover and preserve order in morphology amid constant disruption, postdoctoral scientist Lanxi Hu has been awarded the Weill Institute for Cell and ...

Findings from a recent study show how randomness and growth together create the striking cellular patterns that shape plant organs—and perhaps all multicellular life.

Cornell researchers have developed a powerful new biosensor that reveals, in unprecedented detail, how and where kinases – enzymes that control nearly all cellular processes – turn on and off inside l...

Researchers at Cornell have uncovered molecules that can preserve crucial cellular processes while blocking malignant proteins, indicating a new approach to fighting cancer

Scott Emr, the Samuel C. and Nancy M. Fleming Professor Emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences, has won the World Laureate Association Prize, one of the world’s highest-funded scientific awards.

Cornell researchers have uncovered the surprising role played by a “three-tailed” fat molecule in cellular survival during heart attack and stroke: protecting the cells against damage when oxygen runs...

Helping to combat the rising threat of antibiotic resistance, Cornell biologists have identified a surprising mechanism that weakens bacteria from within—an insight that could guide the next generatio...

Cornell scientists work toward engineering plants and other organisms to grow into usable, biodegradable forms.

The Ono Pharma Foundation was established to support academic research in relevant scientific fields, which have the potential of making significant impact on therapeutic approaches to disease and pai...

Plants are highly sensitive to temperature, and climate change is predicted to have negative impacts on agricultural productivity. Warming temperatures, coupled with a growing population, present a su...

In the wake of funding cuts from the Trump administration, Cornell University students and early career researchers are turning to local media to make their voices heard.
