between the muscles and the skeleton

Researchers discovered that in mice lacking a protein that is responsible for muscle contraction, fusion developed between the vertebrae of the spine, which may lead to scoliosis and other orthopedic diseases

Between bats and arachnids

Researchers found that caves inhabited by fruit bats were characterized by longer food chains than caves inhabited by insect bats or caves without bats
The motors that simulate ATP synthase move in disorder and create an orderly structure with the help of the flow.

How a protein turns around

Researchers have found that the protein ATP synthase, which plays a central role in the process of cellular respiration, organizes itself in a triangular pattern, because it is trapped in the vortex field it itself produces

The prevalence of autism in the present and in the future

A new study reveals a significant increase in the rate of people with autism in the community in Israel, which requires appropriate preparation
In the top row: connectivity in healthy brains, in the bottom row: connectivity in the brains of head-injured people. In the right column: connectivity in the brains of girls and women before menstruation, in the left column: connectivity in the brains of girls and women after menstruation.

Personalized medicine - and gender

Evidence is growing that brain damage in girls, which occurs during puberty, impairs cognitive function and the strength of the brain network

Rains, steam, and everything in between

A comparison between the level of evaporation in the current Dead Sea compared to the ancient period, may help in understanding the climate that existed in our region, in the past

Following the ancestor of the olive

Researchers have discovered an ancient variety of olive tree that has existed in Israel much longer than the Syrian variety and are now trying to attribute it to a certain period and understand when and where it began to grow
The painting by Rubens which was painted in 1625-1623 against the background of the 30 years war in Europe, and the image of the bee and the bat in it. Photo: Courtesy of the Alta Pincotec Museum, Munich.

The riddle of the bee and the bat

Deciphering paintings, among others by the painter Rubens, in which we were flooded with defiant messages for intellectuals who knew a secret
The polymer conjugated to the peptide and the drug (P-Esbp-DOX) binds to the E-selectin protein, which is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells that line the blood vessels in the tumor environment, enters the cells, releases the drug inside them and kills them.

inhibit the migration of cancer cells

Researchers have developed polymers that bind to proteins that play a key role in cancer and inflammation, thus preventing - in mice - the formation of metastases and slowing down the progression of arteriosclerosis and hepatitis

Heat stress in the summer in Israel increases the risk of stroke, especially a week after its occurrence

"Previous studies have shown a connection between temperature and the occurrence of various diseases. In a stroke, apparently, the heat causes a low fluid balance, which leads to changes in the brain, including the expansion of blood vessels, a decrease in blood volume

The race for copper

Researchers aim to launch the second revolution in the field of spintronics - and significantly increase the amount of memory in our electronic devices

Citi coral and village coral

  • One response
Prof. Oren Levy researches the timing of the reproduction of corals around the world and is surprised by Dioc. However the biological clock of the corals is not adapted to the volume lights

How can you tell if a green sea turtle will grow up to be male or female?

Researchers analyze the DNA and hormonal profile of the green turtles to understand their physiology, development and reproduction and ensure their survival
feelings of others. Image prepared using DALEE for illustration only. It should not be seen as a scientific picture

feelings of others

A study found that people who were exposed to emotional images reacted according to the reactions of others and judged harshly those who did not react like everyone else

Why is the mass of the Higgs particle lighter than expected?

Researchers have built a model according to which the mass of the Higgs boson, which helps produce the mass of elementary particles, changed in the early universe, and is therefore much smaller than the standard model of particle physics describes
