Researchers at Ben-Gurion University and University of California, Davis are using artificial intelligence techniques to help identify cellular reactions that indicate how tomatoes and other crops handle different climate conditions.
Replicating organs or human tissues in a laboratory is slowly becoming more than a sci-fi dream thanks to the growing research field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
Findings by researchers at Bar-Ilan University could lead to tailored microbial interventions that reduce autoimmunity and additional stress-inducible illness.
“Size is not everything,” the journal said in a press release on Wednesday. “Some smaller institutes are punching above their weight.”
Reducing fat in the liver, rather than simply losing weight, is key to lowering health risks associated with obesity, say Israeli researchers.

Researchers found that the onset of stress caused changes in the intestinal bacteria that, in turn, stimulated the activity of immune cells in a way that increased the likelihood that the body would attack itself.
A new approach to measuring electrons’ quantum states looks at the tail end of their escape.
“This is extremely important because we can now detect early stages of alpha-synuclein aggregation and monitor the effects of drugs on this aggregation,” said Dr. Dana Bar-On of Tel Aviv University.
Tel Aviv University researchers find mechanism in worms that, if it translates to humans, could imply brain activity also plays a role in what is transmitted to offspring.
Tel Aviv University and Haifa’s Technion–Israel Institute of Technology have been named among the 100 leading universities worldwide to be granted US patents for invention in 2018.
The number of sensory deprived patients and auditory deprived patients is expected to rise – it is crucial to develop efficient techniques for auditory recovery.
