    The search for the culprit behind songbird deaths

    Across the United States, songbirds are dying from a mysterious condition. Working with long-established partners, Penn Vet researchers are striving for a diagnosis.

    Protein’s ‘silent code’ affects how cells move

    With remarkable similarities to MS, a disease in dogs opens new avenues for study

    The canine disease granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis (GME), the most common neuroinflammatory disease that affects dogs, shares key features of its pathology and immunology with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a new…

    Pinpointing how cancer cells turn aggressive

    Penn scientists have developed a new method for tracing the lineage and gene expression patterns of metastatic cancer at the single-cell level.

    Blocking viruses’ exit strategy

    The Marburg virus, a relative of the Ebola virus, causes a serious, often-fatal hemorrhagic fever. Transmitted by the African fruit bat and by direct human-to-human contact, Marburg virus disease currently…
