- Researchers found why chronic stress spreads cancer: stress causes certain white blood cells called neutrophils to form sticky web-like structures that make body tissues more susceptible to metastasis https://www.cshl.edu/chronic-stress-spreads-cancer-heres-how/ 105 comments science
- T cells may be fountain of youth: Scientists reprogram T cells to eliminate specific cells in mice, and discovered they lived healthier lives and didn’t develop aging-related conditions like obesity and diabetes. Just one dose provided young mice with lifelong benefits and rejuvenated older mice. https://www.cshl.edu/the-fountain-of-youth-is-a-t-cell/ 24 comments upliftingnews

- Neuroscientists have discovered that a historically understudied class of neurons in the olfactory bulb, called tufted cells, play a major role in odor recognition and they are better at recognizing smells than mitral cells. This offer new explanations for how the brain processes sensory information https://www.cshl.edu/sniffing-out-the-brains-smelling-power/ 5 comments science

- Smoking increases SARS-CoV-2 receptors in the lung. New research from CSHL scientists suggests that cigarette smoke spurs the lungs to make more ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), the protein that the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 grabs and uses to enter human cells. https://www.cshl.edu/smoking-increases-sars-cov-2-receptors-in-the-lung/ 44 comments science
