The study found that key CD8+ T cells showed signs of constant stimulation that lead to an exhausted state, a condition that is well-studied in cancer.
The last day of classes nears, but there are still events across campus over the next week, including the Milstein Program's Art + Tech exhibit of student work.
Microscopic machines engineered by Cornell researchers can autonomously synchronize their movements, opening new possibilities for the use of microrobots in drug delivery, chemical mixing and environmental remediation, among other applications.

Thomas J. Campanella, MLA ’91, professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning, spearheaded the effort to commemorate Pearl S. Buck’s first residency in Ithaca with a New York State Historic Marker, funded by the Pomeroy Foundation. He offered a preview of the marker prior to its Dec. 8 installation near Forest Home Chapel.
Years before writing “The Good Earth” and winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, the aspiring novelist received encouragement and a master’s degree at Cornell.
A new method developed at Cornell provides tools and methodologies to compress hundreds of terabytes of genomic data to gigabytes, once again enabling researchers to store datasets in local computers.

a two-dimensional slice through the three-dimensional simulations Fielding and his collaborators are running on Frontier. The color shows the magnitude of the electric current, or curl of the magnetic field, which is a measure of how much the magnetic field "swirls." The two zoom-in panels demonstrate the small scale complexity that these unprecedentedly high resolution simulations are able to capture in great detail.
“We are going to run the largest simulations of the magnetized gas that pervades the space between stars, with the aim of understanding a crucial missing piece in our models for how stars and galaxies form."
Cornell researchers have discovered a pathway by which E. coli regulates zinc levels, an insight that could advance the understanding of metal regulation in bacteria and lead to antibacterial applications such as in medical instruments.

Calls for impeachment are following South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration and subsequent lifting of martial law. Cornell University experts provide insight on what other democracies should take away from the events of the last two days.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol says he will lift the declaration of martial law he had imposed overnight; his actions could reinvigorate South Korea’s tradition of expressing political dissent through candlelight rallies, says Sidney Tarrow, an emeritus professor of government.
A girl who attends a school with classmates whose mothers work is more likely to be in the workforce when she has a child herself than a girl who grows up in local circles where most mothers stay at home, Cornell researchers have found.
Olga Verlato's dissertation, “Languages of Power and People: Multilingualism, Politics, and Resistance in Modern Egypt and the Mediterranean,” received the Malcolm H. Kerr Award from the Middle East Studies Association of North America.
