Researchers from the Technion have developed a technology that corrects the underrepresentation of women in clinical studies

  • No comments
The existing under-representation of women in clinical studies creates a problematic bias that harms the quality of treatment for women, in the early diagnosis of diseases, in the allocation of drugs that cause side effects among women, and more

Are you a riser or a night animal?

In both cases, it may be related to your gut bacteria. This is according to a joint study by scientists at the University of Haifa and the Technion, who also present hope for change for people who suffer from their sleeping pattern

Researchers were able to change the electrical properties of a material by removing an oxygen atom from the original structure

  • No comments
Researchers at the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering at the Technion succeeded in changing the electrical properties of a material by removing an oxygen atom from the original structure. Possible applications: electronic miniaturization and detection of radiation emissions

A technology developed at the Technion improved glucose uptake in diabetic mice

The conventional treatments for diabetes and insulin resistance are based on the consumption of drugs by injection and ingestion and provide a partial and short-term solution. This is the background for trying to develop long-term systemic solutions, and this is where the new development comes in

Photomicrograph: the density of green-red-purple colors indicates the existence of hybrid cells at the tendon-muscle interface. In green - the muscle fibers; In red - LOXL3 RNA is expressed in tendon and tendon-muscle junction. LoxL3 is an enzyme found at the ends of the developing muscle fibers and is responsible for building the muscle tendon junction. In purple - MyoD RNA is expressed within the muscle itself. MyoD is a gene responsible for muscle cell differentiation. Photo courtesy of the Technion Spokesperson

How are inter-tissue interfaces formed?

  • No comments
Researchers at the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion discovered that the connection between tendons and muscles is formed by hybrid cells that merge with the muscle fibers and "know" how to cause the ends of the muscle to express tendon characteristics

"The technology we developed is based on monitoring volatile particles emitted from the human body," explains Prof. Hussam Haik. "Today it is clear to us that such particles indicate different physiological states, and the question is which particles to focus on and how to monitor them."

The researchers developed an amplifier - a medium containing atoms that the photon coming from space passes through after the telescope key. The impact of the photon on the atom forces the atom to release a large number of photons identical to the original photon. The improvement in resolution will benefit any telescope, especially for medium-sized telescopes, and in particular for space telescopes
