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

The algorithm examines in real time the priority of the green route over the red routes that were previously marked as alternatives. The middle screen shows the optional landing gear (red dots) and the plane itself (black dot in the center). The left screen shows the pilot the marker he needs to follow to reach the optimal runway on the optimal route.
