C. elegans. The clock ensures that each of four larval stages begins precisely when it should, lasts as long as needed, and never repeats." data-description="A clock with twisting green hands and a spiral effect creating an illusion of infinite time." />Imagine a train parked at the station. Passengers climb aboard and find their seats. Conductors move up and down the aisles, checking tickets. But there’s a problem—the engineer’s watch is broken. As a result, the doors never close, the whistle never sounds, and the train never starts. Something similar occurs in cells when developmental timing...

Gut health à la CAR T

Margaret Osborne — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 12:30:53 +0000

Ever notice that as you get older, some foods no longer sit with you the same? This could be due to a breakdown of the intestinal epithelium, a single layer of cells that forms the organ’s lining. The intestine plays a crucial role in many health functions, including digestion. Under normal conditions, the entire intestinal...

A CSHL Symposium for the ages

Samuel Diamond — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 11:30:05 +0000

You are not the same person you were a decade ago. Most of your body’s cells are replaced every seven to 10 years. Nevertheless, you retain the genes and memories that help make you, you. Science still doesn’t fully understand how the aging process works. But we’re getting closer, and the answers may hold the...

From novel discovery to anti-aging therapy

Jen A. Miller — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 12:30:37 +0000

Major scientific breakthroughs are often dismissed as “novel” discoveries. This is especially true in fundamental biology. It’s hard to fathom the importance of something if its real-world applications are not readily apparent. And it’s even harder when dealing with a topic that isn’t well understood in the first place. Take, for example, the groundbreaking work...
