Study reveals how dead cancer cells help tumors grow
A new study by Dr. Merav Cohen and her team reveals how macrophages that engulf dead cancer cells are reprogrammed to support tumor growth
Researchers identify the cells that trigger hearing cell regeneration
A Science Advances study by Lama Khalaily and Prof. Karen B. Avraham uncovers rare inner ear cells that can regenerate hearing
Researchers reveal distinct immune mechanisms in eosinophilic gastritis
A study by Prof. Ariel Munitz and colleagues reveals how two key immune receptors play distinct roles in the disease, offering new directions for targeted therapies
Breakthrough in understanding how breast cancer spreads to the brain
An international research team led by Prof. Uri Ben-David and Prof. Ronit Satchi-Fainaro has identified a previously unknown mechanism that helps breast cancer metastasize to the brain
Unveiling the connectivity behind motor cortex activity in goal-directed behavior
Research by Dr. Arseny Finkelstein in collaboration with Dr. Ran Darshan from the Department of Neuroscience and Brain Disorders
