Prof. Rafael Malach’s lab has revealed a neuronal mechanism central to free recall. Working with people hospitalized with epilepsy who had implanted electrodes, the team recorded, for the first time, “hippocampal ripples” – synchronized bursts of activity that Prof. Malach calls “a nerve-cell fireworks display.”
Profs. Eran Elinav and Eran Segal at the Weizmann Institute of Science have isolated a molecule that may be under-produced in the guts of ALS patients
When immune cells and bacteria meet, the outcome is decided fairly quickly – including whether the bacteria will lie dormant, as in diseases like tuberculosis. Now, Weizmann Institute scientists have developed an algorithm that predicts how the immune system will respond to a pathogen, thus leading to early diagnosis for infectious diseases.
The early-stage prostate cancer treatment, approved for use in 31 European countries, is now being marketed in Germany, Italy, Israel, and Mexico
The Weizmann Institute's Prof. Eran Segal and colleagues developed an algorithm that is helping sort through variations in gut microbes. The group found that the same microbes occur across diverse populations, yet can behave in different ways. Even tiny variations in a particular microbe affects the microbiome, including leading to differences in weight.
Prof. Noam Sobel's team at the Weizmann Institute of Science has shown that we do better on tests when we inhale at the same time we’re presented with a problem. The findings shed light on the evolution of the brain, and may lead to ways of helping people who have attention and learning disorders improve their skills.
Antifreeze proteins occur in nature; in fact, that’s how life survives in cold environments. However, at extremely cold temperatures, the same proteins do the opposite and promote ice formation. Now, thanks to a device invented by the Weizmann Institute's Prof. Yinon Rudich, scientists have been able to study these proteins for the first time.
Beresheet, Israel's first lunar landing craft, is heading towards that rocky outpost. Weizmann Institute scientist Prof. Oded Aharonson and Brown University's Prof. Jim Hood have now identified the best site for the craft to land in order to study the Moon's magnetic field.
Currently, very few vaccines can be administered orally. Using a novel imaging method that captures all of the immune cells’ niches within an organ, Weizmann Institute scientists investigated the training process for the cells involved in immunity, developing insights that could lead to the design of more effective oral vaccines.
The Weizmann Institute's Prof. Oded Aharonson, who is head of the SpaceIL international science team, has designed a project to measure and examine the Moon's magnetic field. The moon landing will make Israel the fourth country to reach the rocky outpost.
Weizmann Institute scientists Profs. Avihai Danon and Uri Alon find that, like an eye’s adjustment to sudden changes in light, plants have sensitive mechanisms to protect their leaves from rapid changes in radiation
Weizmann Institute scientists have found that, like sophisticated equipment prone to breaking down, our highly advanced brains are more likely to have problems, including depression, autism, and ADHD.
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers took part in the last phase of the 20-year mission - and their work revealed some surprising attributes of Saturn
The Weizmann Institute's Prof. Valery Krizhanovsky and Dr. Yossi Ovadya have found a way to get the body to clear out senescent cells, which are involved in a number of age-related diseases. Treated mice showed improved blood and activity tests, younger-looking tissues, and lived longer than their untreated counterparts.
The new Sherman Institute will advance basic research on novel therapies for a range of disorders, including autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and infectious diseases, as well as cancer.
Controlling the mechanism, found by the lab of Weizmann Institute scientist Prof. Mike Fainzilber, may lead to better therapies for anxiety
Weizmann Institute scientists Profs. Ido Amit and Amos Tanay, working with hemato-oncologists, have created a new way to profile myeloma tumor cells. The machine-learning-based technique will allow earlier and better diagnosis of the cancer, including in terms of relapse, and improve treatment.
A Weizmann Institute team develops a novel technology for profiling protein turnover and degradation, offering new insight into diagnosis and the molecular basis of autoimmunity, cancer, neurodegeneration, and other disorders
Prof. Yardena Samuels of the Weizmann Institute, working with a global team, has developed a way to target a patient's unique melanoma cells. The immunotherapy creates, in effect, a new drug for each person.
Two Weizmann Institute scientists, Profs. Eran Elinav and Eran Segal, have revealed that our gut microbes' relationship with probiotics may not be as healthy as we think
