Investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine have assembled the most comprehensive atlas to date of messenger RNA (mRNA) variants in the mouse and human brain, which will be important in understanding brain development, neuron specialization and other brain functions.

A team led by scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine has made a map identifying all the different RNA molecules that are derived from each gene in the brains of mice.

Dr. Hagen Tilgner is exploring how faulty building instructions for brain cells may give rise to depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and more

Scientists can now discover how the fine details of gene activity differ from one cell type to another in a tissue sample, thanks to a technique invented by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

Awards, honors, prizes and achievements for the month of September.
