You’ve probably heard of testosterone and estrogen, but did you know that estrogen is fundamental to sex differences in the brain? CSHL’s Jessica Tollkuhn explains this thought-provoking fact in our latest At the Lab episode. Jessica Tollkuhn cshl.edu/podcasts/at-th…

The Western Veil nebula from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

Malevolence is a toxic member of the nightshade family, filled with sharp barbs and irritating sap. With CRISPR technology, CSHL researchers might make this “purple devil” an angel, and reveal new ways to control gene expression in plants. cshl.edu/one-experiment…

Thanks to RNA-splicing drugs, SMA is treatable. Now, CSHL researchers are uncovering why some RNA-splicing drugs work better than others. This could lead to new therapeutic approaches for SMA and other mis-splicing diseases. Justin B. Kinney #FightSMA cshl.edu/why-some-rna-d…

Congratulations to Zach Lippman, Jack Satterlee, and the team on their plant prickle study’s front-page feature in Science magazine.

We appreciate NYS Assemblymember Charles Lavine's visit to CSHL. He stopped by our seawall, which was built with his support, after touring the Foundations for the Future construction site. Assemblymember Charles Lavine

Find out why scientists study Xenopus, the African clawed frog, and what's “hoppening” behind the scenes in the CSHL Xenopus course. cshlxeno cshl.edu/videos/frogs-a…

The brain and the body are more connected than you might believe, and this connection has some implications for cancer treatment. Find out more from CSHL’s Bo Li in Episode 20 of At the Lab. cshl.edu/podcasts/at-th…

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), as you may know, is caused by RNA splicing errors. However, what is RNA splicing? Check out our video in collaboration with Youreka Science that explains it all. #FightSMA cshl.edu/videos/just-rn…

Cancer and the lethal wasting disease cachexia affect the whole body. How is the CSHL Cancer Center tackling these devasting conditions? CSHL’s Tobias Janowitz discusses this in our latest Cocktails & Chromosomes installment. Tobias Janowitz cshl.edu/videos/cocktai…

Reminder that in one week CSHL’s Borniger Lab will be speaking at our next Cocktails & Chromosomes on “how the brain communicates with the body.” RSVP now for your chance to win a free drink! 😉🍺bit.ly/3LLcpFk

Andromeda from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

CSHL’s Douglas Fearon and his team found that a common chemotherapy drug weakens pancreatic cancer’s defense in mice. Could this become an effective immunotherapy for PDAC patients? cshl.edu/old-chemo-drug…

How do nature and nurture play a role in your biological development and make you who you are? Find out more from CSHL’s Gabrielle Pouchelon in this week’s At the Lab episode. Gabrielle Pouchelon cshl.edu/podcasts/at-th…

When breast cancer cells lack glutamine, they use alpha KG as their fuel source instead. CSHL’s Michael Lukey discovered how to deprive the cancer cells of both sources, which ultimately killed the cancer cells and shrank tumors in mice. cshl.edu/how-breast-can…

Earth Music III is not just a painting, but a masterpiece that embodies the creativity and passion of our scientists here at CSHL. cshl.edu/harborscope/ea…
