Prof. Yehu Moran from the Hebrew University, one of the leaders of the research: "Sea anemones have lived and thrived for the last 600 million years despite the presence of many viruses, so their immune system is probably effective. A possible disadvantage that I can suggest is that complex systems have a significant metabolic (energetic) cost" . And also: what can be learned from this about the human immune system?

The discovery was published as part of a study carried out by a group of Israeli researchers, in which the earliest archaeological evidence of the contemporaneity and close relationship between Homo sapiens and an archaic man who was locally known as "Adam Nesher Ramla" was revealed. A scientific article about the study was published in Science, which emphasized that The initial meeting place was in Israel

A new study carried out by marine biologist Dr. Danny Golani of the Hebrew University states that 469 species of fish are wading in Israel's Mediterranean waters today, with a record number of 32 new species having migrated to them from the Red Sea in the last 15 years. Migration due to climate change? Don't count on it. The result, among other things: poisonous fish and poisonous fish are multiplying and establishing themselves these days near the shores of Israel

It turns out that artificial lighting plays a central role in the reproductive processes of poultry. Prolonged exposure to light in a red wave absorbed through the extraretinal receptors while suppressing the activation of retinal photoreceptors has a positive effect on the reproductive capacity of chickens. The study was published in the journal Poultry Science.

Researchers from the Hebrew University and the University of Toronto found that the ancient hominids settled in caves and began making tools as early as 1.8 million years ago in South Africa: "The study reliably confirms and establishes our previous estimates regarding the ages of the first settlement in the cave, the changes in stone tool production technologies and the first deliberate use of fire "

Prof. Frumkin: "In a proper step, albeit a bit late, some of the animal species from the cave were also included in it (only the species living in the cave's aquatic environment). This helps in preserving the cave, but without declaring the cave and its surroundings as an official nature reserve, it will be difficult to enforce the law."
