The scientists took advantage of the fact that chirality affects an electron property called "spin", which is characterized by two states - "spin up" and "spin down" - similar to the spinning of a spinning top clockwise or counterclockwise. Illustration: Prof. Ron Naaman, Weizmann Institute

Laboratory flasks containing thousands of white blood cells from a patient who developed "immune tolerance" to the donor after a bone marrow transplant. The cells show no signs of rejection of the donor cells (three columns on the left), but secrete chemicals that indicate rejection (indicated in red) when exposed to the cells of a third person (three columns on the right).

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.
