Building on 150 years of neuroanatomy

Jasmine Lee — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 14:30:38 +0000

Learn about some of the milestones in neuroanatomy history with our interactive timeline, and read more about CSHL contributions in recent years. In 1873, an Italian biologist named Camillo Golgi stained nerve cells at high resolution. He thought neurons formed a branched and cohesive network and were not individual cells. Fifteen years later, Santiago Ramón...

Think a census of humans is hard? Try counting their brain cells!

Jasmine Lee — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 15:00:02 +0000

Read about CSHL’s contributions to neuroanatomy in recent years, and learn more about related milestones in our interactive timeline. How does the human brain work? For the last 150 years, researchers have tried to assess its function from its structure, but the answer is still elusive. On October 7, 2021, scientists reached a major milestone,...

Using “guilt by association” to classify cells

Jasmine Lee — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 13:30:43 +0000

Biologists are trying to figure out what makes a cell unique in form and function. But they are not certain which components are key to making similar cells behave differently. ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) Associate Professor Jesse Gillis and his lab are tackling this problem with a new statistical method: they are analyzing the...

Solving genetic disease puzzles with quantitative biology

Communications Department — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 13:00:59 +0000

The boy was only a month old but had developed over a lifetime of health problems. He was constantly suffering from bacterial infections, battling unexplained inflammation, and not gaining weight. Most alarmingly, he had bloody diarrhea. Artemio Miguel Jongco, an allergy and immunology specialist at Northwell Health, recalls seeing the boy on the first day...

ZmYAB14 (red) is turned on in the older buds toward the bottom of the picture. The left image shows a slice of a 5 mm-long ear of corn. The ZmSHR1-like gene (red) lights up cells that transport water and nutrients. Image: Xiaosa Xu/Jackson lab." data-description="" />Corn hasn’t always been the sweet, juicy delight that we know today. And, without adapting to a rapidly changing climate, it is at risk of losing its place as a food staple. Putting together a plant is a genetic puzzle, with hundreds of genes working together as it grows. ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) Professor...

Genetic ‘usual suspects’ identified in researchers’ new list

Brian Stallard — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 22:07:30 +0000

Cold Spring Harbor, NY — It’s no secret that our genes are what makes us… us! But genes are often also the basis for debilitating diseases. One of the major clues to understanding any illness is seeing which genes are acting unusually during disease onset. But it’s not often clear if unusual gene activity is...
