Study Reveals How COVID-19 Infection Can Cause or Worsen Diabetes

September 13, 2024

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine, including co-corresponding author Dr. Robert Schwartz, an associate professor of medicine in the division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, have used a cutting-edge model system to uncover the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, induces new cases of diabetes, and worsens complications in people who already have it. The team found that viral exposure activates immune cells that in turn destroy beta (β) cells, the...

Study Finds Potential Link Between DNA Markers and Aging Process

August 22, 2024

Drs. Lishomwa Ndhlovu and Dr. Michael Corley in the Division of Infectious Diseases, along with the epigenetics company TruDiagnostic, have uncovered DNA markers associated with retroelements, remnants of ancient viral genetic material, in our genes that act as highly accurate epigenetic clocks predicting chronological age. The results support the idea that certain retroelements in the human genome may be involved in aging.

Dr. Michael Corley and Dr. Lishomwa...
