Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) found that immune system cells called neutrophils are recruited by the tumor environment in advanced breast cancer to support tumor progression in the later stages of the disease. They believe that neutrophils, which are unique to the tumor environment, may serve as targets for the development of new drugs and… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) found that diagnoses and treatment recommendations given by AI were more accurate than those of physicians at a Los Angeles virtual urgent care clinic. The study, conducted at Cedars-Sinai Connect, compared recommendations given in about 500 visits of adult patients with relatively common respiratory, urinary, eye, vaginal… Read More
An international research team led by scientists from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and Sheba Medical Center has unveiled an innovative method for activating adult stem cells from human bone marrow, enabling their expansion outside the body for use in bone marrow regeneration and the construction of a new blood and immune system. The findings, published… Read More
Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) used the genetic editing tool CRISPR to cut a single gene from cancer cells of head and neck tumors, which successfully eliminated 50% of the tumors in model animals. This groundbreaking study was led by Dr. Razan Masarwy, MD, PhD, from the lab of Professor Dan Peer. Professor Peer… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) used AI tools for the first time to discover what motivates people to exercise and which strategies are most effective for maintaining physical fitness. The researchers found that 23.9% of the users who engage in sports do so to improve their appearance, 18.9% exercise to maintain their… Read More
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have successfully transported lipid nanoparticles encapsulating messenger RNA (mRNA) to the immune system of the small and large intestines, bypassing the liver upon systemic administration. They characterize this as a major breakthrough in drug delivery. The groundbreaking study was led by post-doctoral fellow Dr. Riccardo Rampado together with Professor… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers reveals how bacterial defense mechanisms can be neutralized, enabling the efficient transfer of genetic material between bacteria. The researchers believe this discovery could pave the way for developing tools to address the antibiotic resistance crisis and promote more effective genetic manipulation methods for medical, industrial, and… Read More
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a new platform using polymeric nanoparticles to deliver drug pairs to specific cancer types, including skin cancer and breast cancer. The researchers explain that the simultaneous arrival of both drugs at the tumor site together significantly amplifies their therapeutic effects and safety profiles. The study was led… Read More
