Efficient Immune System Usage Varied Among Babies, Study Finds
Scientists have long believed that a newborn’s immune system was an immature version of an adult’s, but new research shows that newborns’ T cells – white blood cells that protect from disease – outperform those of adults at fighting off…
Genetic Signature Offers Potential to Predict Lung Cancer Response to Immunotherapy
A new study has identified a set of 140 genes that may help predict enhanced disease-free survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with a combination of immunotherapy and low-dose radiation.
The results, …

Drug-Resistant TB Shows Rapid Response to Bedaquiline-Based Therapy
Patients who have drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) have a similar microbiological response to bedaquiline-based second-line medications as patients with drug-sensitive TB taking first-line regimens, according to researchers at Weill Cornell…
Ice Shell Thickness Indicates Water Temperature on Ocean Worlds
Decades before any probe dips a toe – and thermometer – into the waters of distant ocean worlds, Cornell astrobiologists have devised a novel way to determine ocean temperatures based on the thickness of their ice shells, effectively…
Cornell University Students Develop Wave Converters to Harness Ocean Energy
Unlike hydro, solar or wind power, the ocean’s blue waves remain an unexploited source of green energy.
Two Cornell Engineering undergraduates are aiming to advance the science of wave energy converters – devices that catch the…
Cornell University Engineering Achieves Historic High in Women Leadership
For the first time in Cornell Engineering’s history, every school and department currently has – or will soon have – a woman faculty member on the college’s executive leadership team. Seven of the college’s 11 schools and departments…
