Researchers have identified antibodies that may replace the RNA vaccine for corona

According to the researchers from Tel Aviv University, spot treatment with antibodies and their delivery to the body in high concentration can serve as an effective substitute for RNA vaccines, especially for at-risk populations and people with a weakened immune system

Researchers have succeeded in neutralizing the energy source of the deadly glioblastoma brain cancer tumor, thereby causing its disappearance

In the experiments conducted on mice, it was found that in the presence of the energy source (brain cells called astrocytes) the tumor was 100% fatal, and all the animals that got sick died within 4-5 weeks from the moment of its appearance. When the researchers eliminated the astrocytes, within a few days of starting the treatment, the tumor died and disappeared * A new method for curing one of the most violent types of cancer and other brain tumors

As part of the study, the researchers characterized the psychological, social and medical condition of approximately 200 veterans and at the same time collected saliva samples from them. The research findings show that all those soldiers who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder have a typical picture of bacteria in their saliva. A third of them were not diagnosed

According to the researchers: "The method is indeed very effective, but it is not always safe either. Sometimes chromosomes that have been cut in the procedure fail to recover and the stability of the genome is undermined - something that in the long run may even cause cancer"

What happens inside the brain. Illustration: Ana yael courtesy of Tel Aviv University

In sleep, the brain is active and reacts strongly to sounds, but a critical step in recognizing consciousness is missing

The findings of a study conducted at Tel Aviv University indicate that the brain's response to sounds is powerful even during sleep, in all but one measure: the level of alpha-beta waves related to the degree of attention and attention. The meaning: in a state of sleep the brain hears the sound but fails to focus on it and form a full identification and conscious perception

Evolutionary mapping in chronic corona patients reveals the path to the formation of a variant * In immunosuppressed patients, chronic corona disease sometimes develops. The study found that the damaged immune system of these patients fails to eliminate the virus, which, on the other hand, develops over time mutations that confer resistance to antibodies and are more contagious
