A shorthair domestic cat gazes upward.

The domestic cat may be a far more recent arrival to Europe than previously thought, according to a recent Science study.

The findings offer new insight into one of humanity’s most enigmatic animal companions.

A new theory of brain development | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold Sprin...

A great poet once said, “It ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.” For developing brain cells, it’s both!

Day & night: Cancer disrupts the brain’s natural rhythm | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory “The brain is an exquisite sensor of what’s going on in your body,” says Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Assistant Professor Jeremy Borniger. “But it requires balance. Neurons need to be active or inact...

Cancer’s been known to knock the body’s stress response out of sync. In mice, the Borniger (@jborniger.bsky.social) lab has found that stimulating key neurons at the right time can restore healthy stress hormone rhythms, bolstering the body’s anti-tumor defenses. www.cshl.edu/day-night-ca...

The toxic crab (Lophozozymus incisus), a rare and very beautiful species found in warm waters the world over, including off the coast of Australia.

Toxic crabs can be incredibly dangerous, containing toxins that are similar to those of the pufferfish, called tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin.

Two breakthroughs in one! Two new studies from CSHL molecular biologist Chris Vakoc, published in @natcomms.nature.com and @cp-cellreports.bsky.social, help explain the bizarre behaviors of pancreatic cancers and lung cancers that can change identities.

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” was meant to be ironic. The doubling up of ‘far’ is the giveaway. It’s the future given Lucas’ view of the world in 1977.
