A new study led by Columbia University researchers projects a substantial rise in uterine cancer incidence and deaths in the United States over the next three decades, with a disproportionate impact ...

Addictive use of social media, video games, or mobile phones—but not total screen time—is associated with worse mental health among preteens, a new study by researchers at Columbia's Vagelos College ...

Another patient, a man in his mid-30s, was asymptomatic when he began treatment, but tests of electrical activity in his muscles indicated that symptoms would likely emerge soon. In three years of ...

Ask scientists what gene editing tool is most needed to advance gene therapy, and they’d probably describe a system that’s now close to realization in the labs of Samuel Sternberg at Columbia ...

The team then determined the mitochondrial density and energy transformation capacity within each cube—roughly the size of a large grain of sand—yielding an energy map of the entire slice.

Using a new artificial intelligence method, researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons can accurately predict the activity of genes within any human cell, ...

Women born in the most sexist U.S. states experienced faster memory decline in later years compared to women born in the least sexist states, a new study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos ...

You probably know vitamin D is important. It’s vital to bone health, muscle movement, nerve connections to the brain, and immune system function. Studies suggest vitamin D also may help protect us ...

Columbia researchers have engineered probiotic bacteria that educate the immune system to destroy cancer cells, opening the door for a new class of cancer vaccines that take advantage of bacteria’s ...

As direct descendants of ancient bacteria, mitochondria have always been a little alien. Now a study shows that mitochondria are possibly even stranger than we thought. Mitochondria in our brain cells ...

Since the genetic code was first deciphered in the 1960s, our genes seemed like an open book. By reading and decoding our chromosomes as linear strings of letters, like sentences in a novel, we can ...

A multinational research team led by Columbia University and the La Jolla Institute for Immunology has identified a novel way to attack measles, paving the way for new vaccines and antiviral drugs ...
