Why do we tend to gain weight as we get older?
From depression and anxiety to diabetes - health conditions resulting from chronic stress affect women and men differently. A new study in mice maps at the single-cell level molecular differences in the stress response in the brains of females
Forecasting dust storms is a complicated matter. A new study was able to predict storms in our region with a high level of accuracy - and thereby outline how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to understand processes in the atmosphere
The origin of the mysterious macrophages, known in scientific language as Tingible Body Macrophages (TBM), originates from progenitor cells of the blood system that emerge from the bone marrow and settle in the lymph nodes, where they quickly and efficiently digest cell remnants
For two decades, researchers have been trying to find a way to track a climate system that has a decisive influence on the location of rainforests and deserts on Earth. A new study solves the challenge and reveals the extent of the impact
The institute's scientists discovered a new type of inflammasome - a "smoke detector" of the immune system that ensures more precise control of the height of the flames of an inflammatory reaction. The findings may pave the way for treatments for intestinal diseases
The institute's scientists reveal how cancer leads to fatal emaciation and point the way to treatment
Weizmann Institute of Science scientists revealed that a botanical relative of lettuce produces no less than 40 cannabinoids - active substances with medical potential that characterize the cannabis plant
The scientists of the institute have identified the cells in the brain that are responsible for the grace periods of the multiple sclerosis patients. The findings may pave the way for new treatments
The scientists of the Weizmann Institute of Science and their research partners identified for the first time the cells that are responsible for one of the most basic actions of life - the production of a hormone that gives an order to produce red blood cells; The findings are expected to be groundbreaking
It started with very strange experimental results, continues in a new physical theory about the behavior of photons, and in the future may improve our smartphone screens and enable faster data communication.
