Cardiac tissue regeneration under the microscope. In the picture you can see thin green stripes that mark the cleavage furrows that form between the heart muscle cells (in red) that are dividing. The laboratory of Prof. Eldad Tzhor, Weizmann Institute

Heal the heart with the help of cancerous processes

Researchers from the laboratory of Prof. Eldad Tzhor from the Weizmann Institute discovered that given the right signal, mature cardiac muscle cells in mice can revert to an earlier developmental state and replace the scar tissue with tissue
Imaging of communication between two cells of the immune system - a "combatant" T cell and a "suppressor" myeloid cell. The yellow sparks are meant to illustrate intracellular processes that can be detected using the new method

New technology allows a "peek" into what is happening inside cells

T cells of the immune system (in red) attack melanoma cancer cells (in green). T cells that "know" how to read "signposts" on the cancer cells are particularly effective in destroying them. Illustration: Prof. Jordana Samuels, Weizmann Institute
