Could AI hold the key to answering questions that have stumped doctors and scientists for decades? A recent study at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) borrows concepts from machine learning to address an age-old riddle of immunology. In the thymus, the immune system’s T cells are trained to avoid attacking healthy tissue via a process... The post Does your immune system learn like AI? appeared…
Most neuroscience research still runs on mice, even though much of what applies to mice does not hold up in humans. Marmosets have emerged as a bridge between species. However, comparing the brains of mice and marmosets runs into a chicken-and-egg problem. Scientists need to know which part of one brain matches the respective region...

Inside a small enclosure, a mother mouse hears her lost pups crying. She swivels her head to look for the first baby, then darts over to retrieve it. With the distraught pup in her mouth, she scurries back to her nest. Moments later, she rushes to rescue the next one, repeating the process until all...

Science and art aren’t mutually exclusive. Look beyond common anecdotes and misconceptions—like, for example, the whole left brain/right brain debate—and you’ll find a surprising amount of overlap. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has long espoused the idea that scientists surrounded by creative works of art will, in turn, be more creative in their science. But...

Antibiotic resistance has quietly become one of the greatest threats to global healthcare. Each year, drug-resistant bacteria claim lives by rendering once-reliable antibiotics ineffective, turning routine surgeries, cancer treatments, and even common infections into potentially life-threatening events. Scientists around the world are racing to find new ways to stay ahead of these evolving…
Long before a scientist wins a Nobel Prize, develops an FDA-approved medicine, or makes a breakthrough discovery, she asks a question. Often, it’s one no one else thinks is worth asking. For 40 years, the Cynthia R. Stebbins Fellows Program at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has been built around such curiosity. Unlike traditional postdoctoral... The post Born of curiosity, CSHL Fellows…
