A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) has demonstrated that antibodies isolated from the immune system of recovered COVID-19 patients are effective in neutralizing all known strains of the virus, including the Delta and the Omicron variants. According to the researchers, this discovery may eliminate the need for repeated booster vaccinations and strengthen… Read More
A groundbreaking study at Tel Aviv University (TAU) suggests a new approach that effectively eradicates glioblastoma, a highly lethal type of brain cancer. The researchers achieved the outcome using a method they developed based on their discovery of two critical mechanisms in the brain that support tumor growth and survival: one protects cancer cells from… Read More
Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute in Haifa have developed an innovative technology that enables the growth of “enriched seaweed” infused with nutrients, proteins, dietary fiber, and minerals for human and animal needs. They say that the state-of-the-art technology significantly increases the growth rate, protein levels, healthy… Read More
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a method that employs musical tests and a portable instrument for measuring brain activity to detect cognitive decline in old age. According to the researchers, the method, which is based on the measurement of 15 minutes of electrical activity in the brain while performing simple musical tasks,… Read More
A scientific breakthrough from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and Haifa University may facilitate speedy, objective, and accurate diagnosis of people suffering from PTSD using saliva samples. As part of the study, the researchers characterized the psychological, social, and medical conditions of about 200 participants while collecting saliva samples from them. The findings show a typical… Read More
In a first among Israeli academic institutions, the Green Campus Committee at Tel Aviv University (TAU) has released an external, comprehensive, and objective report that inspected and assessed all campus greenhouse gas emissions (both direct and indirect) as part of initial steps in a ten-year plan for reaching carbon neutrality. The report was prepared by… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) reveals a new learning method for people with autism that may accelerate the learning process and even significantly improve capabilities in terms of visual perception. The new method is based on utilizing “memory flashes,” which consist of exposing a person for just a few seconds to a… Read More
A new Tel Aviv University (TAU) study has found that coral spawning events in the Gulf of Aqaba and Eilat, Red Sea, at the deep end of the focal species’ depth range (~30–45 meters or 100-150 feet) occur at much lower intensities than those at shallow water (0–30 meters or 0-100 feet). About half of… Read More
