Columbia neuroscientists have identified brain-cell circuitry in fruit flies that converts waves of light entering the eye into color perceptions in the brain.
A 24-hour fast followed by feeding rejuvenates the blood-forming stem cells in old mice, a finding that may lead to new ways to help people live healthier lives as they age.
A new study of sleep in women shows that delaying bedtime by just 90 minutes each night damages cells that line the blood vessels, supporting the hypothesis that poor sleep is linked to heart health.
Physician-scientist Neil Vasan brings the perspectives he's gained from classical singing and structural biology to his search for new breast cancer treatments.
Brief walks every hour can offset the harms of prolonged sitting—but who has time for that? With the help of an NPR podcast, researcher Keith Diaz is trying to identify, and break, the barriers.
A study of brain activity in courting zebra finches could help neuroscientists understand what happens in our brains when they shift gears as priorities and opportunities change.
Columbia researchers tracked how current language models, such as ChatGPT, mistake nonsense sentences as meaningful. Will analyzing their errors help us understand the way people think?
ADScreen, a speech-processing algorithm developed at Columbia Nursing, is now being tested in a clinical trial to see if it can help health care workers identify patients with Alzheimer's earlier.
Biomedical engineer Santiago Correa uses his expertise in nanotechnology to create injectable biomaterials that reprogram the body’s immune system to fight cancer, autoimmune disease, and infection.
A new study that uncovers the original role of CRISPR’s scissors answers an evolutionary mystery and could lead to the discovery of better gene editing tools.
A study involving Columbia researchers finds that malaria parasites in Africa have developed resistance to artemisinin drugs, which could worsen malaria’s impact if partner drugs fail in the future.
Health care workers, including registered nurses and support workers, are at increased risk of suicide compared with workers in other fields, Columbia researchers have found.
