Dr. Kathryn Vandorna from the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion developed a new method that allows the monitoring of the formation of immune blood cells in the bone marrow. For this purpose, she used tiny magnetic particles of iron oxide, which she followed with various imaging methods, including MRI of the living creature

Scientific discovery: researchers have seen phenomena from quantum mechanics in the movement of pendulums

The new system makes it possible to observe the phenomena that occur inside special "topological" materials by photographing the movement of pendulums using a normal camera

A nanocapsule of nucleic acids and peptides that releases the medicine inside in response to defined enzymes. (1) in the first step the peptide undergoes cross-linking on the surface of the nanoparticle; (2) In the next step, a defined enzyme recognizes the peptide cross-linking group, (3) and in the last step, the enzyme's release leads to the release of the drug or the nucleic acids that were locked inside the capsule.

Zebrafish brain imaging results. Left: Optical fluorescence microscopy imaging provides only a blurred image limited to the surface. Right: The optoacoustic FONT approach, on the other hand, provides a high-resolution XNUMXD image and detailed information on the activity of the neurons (orange dots) in real time, all over the brain.

Cross-sectional image from a confocal microscope: breast cancer cells with high metastatic potential push into a polyacrylamide gel with a stiffness of 2.4 kPa, where this section is at a depth of 10.6 microns below the surface of the gel. In the picture you can see the cell nuclei (red), the actin element in the intracellular skeleton (green) and the connections of the cells to the surface at connection centers (blue).
