New study reveals how cells prevent dangerous extra DNA copies
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
According to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine, a protein that prepares DNA for replication also keeps the replication process under control. The study, which was published in the journal Molecular Cell on January 5, explains a long-standing enigma among scientists.

Research reveals new method for tracking gene activity across tissues
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The method, described in the study published journal 'Nature Biotechnology,' records gene activity patterns and the presence of key proteins in cells across tissue samples while retaining information about the cells' precise location. This allows for the creation of complex, data-rich "maps"

Study: Lymphoma cell metabolism might provide new cancer target
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Aggressive and relatively common lymphomas called diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) have a critical metabolic vulnerability that can be exploited to trick these cancers into starving themselves, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell's Ithaca campus

Research: Enzyme that protects against viruses could fuel cancer evolution
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
An enzyme that defends human cells against viruses can help drive cancer evolution towards greater malignancy by causing myriad mutations in cancer cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The finding suggests that the enzyme may be a potential target for f

Researchers find how pathogenic bacteria trigger Crohn's disease
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The findings of a recent study headed by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian researchers, suggests that changes in a single gene allow dangerous gut bacteria to trigger the inflammation that underlies Crohn's disease.

Find out what triggers Crohn's disease
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Changes in a single gene open the door for harmful gut bacteria to set off the inflammation that drives Crohn's disease, according to a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators. These findings could one day help doctors better select targeted treatments

Discovery suggests new way to target mantle cell lymphoma
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell M

Common bacterium may spread from intestine: Research
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
According to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators, a typical gut bacterium that can spread through the body and cause a serious infection resists natural immune defences and antibiotics by enhancing its protective outer layer, known as the cell envelope.

New theory explains recovery delays in COVID-19 and cardiac patients
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
COVID-19 patients placed on ventilators can take a long time to regain consciousness. New research from Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital is now illustrating that these delays may serve a purpose: protecting the brain from oxygen deprivatio
