• New study shows cells produce specialised protein factories under stress

  Prevailing dogma in biological research holds that the cell’s protein factories, the ribosomes, function the same way in all cells and in all conditions. In an international study with participation from Weill Cornell Medicine and Uppsala University, published today in the journal Cell Reports, the researchers show that this is a truth that seems to not hold true.

  

• OneHealth focuses on the convergence of human and animal health : Pushpa Vijayraghavan

• 'Spider web inspired implant may control type 1 diabetes'

  Scientists have developed a novel removable implant, inspired by the properties of spider web, that may effectively help control type 1 diabetes. While there is no cure, a research team led by Cornell University has devised an ingenious method for implanting hundreds of thousands of islet cells into a patient.
