Weill Cornell Medicine is Cornell University's medical school in New York City, conducting biomedical research and training physicians.
Weill Cornell and Columbia researchers interviewed 24 parents and tied their stigma to perceived failure at good-parent ideals. The preliminary study in Psychiatric Services describes the stigma; a video intervention meant to reduce it is still under evaluation.
Reality
Weill Cornell-led researchers found 18% of under-65 patients had cognitive impairment within two years of neck lymph node removal, versus 4-6% expected. Because the comparison is with population rates, the finding makes a firmer case for cognitive follow-up than for cutting less.
Reality
Weill Cornell biophysicists used cryo-EM to map the pocket where trace amounts of the lipid PIP2 dock onto rod-cell CNG channels and hold them shut. The site is a candidate drug target for inherited retinal degeneration, so far studied only in synthetic membranes.
Reality
Seventy percent of American adults say they are more worried than excited about AI, and the one exception in the polling is scientific research and medicine. The fastest uptake inside medicine is administrative.
Reality
Two Nature Communications papers describe mGluR receptors binding beta-arrestins in varying numbers and orientations. The authors say that variety, plus a first structure of an active complex, points to why earlier drugs disappointed.
Reality
A Nature Communications model from Weill Cornell argues that a target protein's turnover rate can matter as much as how tightly a degrader binds it, which would reorder where degrader programs spend their optimisation money.
Reality
A Nature paper reports promoter and CRISPR toolsets that transfer across distantly related gut Clostridia, then uses them to toggle two host-relevant metabolites in mice. The methods stay paywalled.

Cornell researchers identified the species of 1.8 million NYC trees at 82% accuracy, including the two-thirds of canopy nobody had surveyed. Planting targets now have to name names.
