According to a new study from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University (TAU), 70% of children whose parents smoked were found to have nicotine residue in hair samples. The study was conducted under the leadership of a team of experts headed by Professor Leah (Laura) Rosen of TAU’s School of Public Health…. Read More
Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers have been able to use silent mutations in cancer genomes to predict both a patient’s type of cancer and their survival probability, a finding that may well save lives in the future. The study was led by Professor Tamir Tuller and research student Tal Gutman of TAU’s Department of Biomedical… Read More
Sun exposure has its benefits, among them: enhancing passion in humans. Researchers in Professor Carmit Levy’s Tel Aviv University (TAU) laboratory have found that exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight increases levels of romantic passion in both genders. The radiation affects the regulation of the endocrine system responsible for the release of sexual hormones in… Read More
Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers have 3D-printed a first-of-its-kind glioblastoma tumor that mimics a living cancer malignancy, powering new methods to improve treatment and accelerate the development of new drugs for the most lethal type of brain cancer. Glioblastoma is notoriously fatal as it accounts for the majority of brain tumors and is highly… Read More
International research by Tel Aviv University (TAU), the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia in Rome, and the University of California San Diego has uncovered findings regarding the magnetic field that prevailed in the Middle East between approximately 10,000 and 8,000 years ago. Researchers examined pottery and burnt flints from archaeological sites in Jordan, on… Read More
A team led by Tel Aviv University identified a new indicator of metastatic breast cancer, laying the groundwork for preventive treatment that could save millions of lives. Metastatic breast cancer, also known as Stage 4 breast cancer, occurs when cancer has spread, or “metastasized,” to other parts of the body. Mortality from breast cancer is… Read More
In recent years the climate crisis has evolved from a scientific term to a tangible reality. The average temperature measured on the earth’s surface is rising, more and more temperature records are being broken in many places around the world, and we’ve experienced extreme weather events, ecological destruction and a negative impact on biodiversity. About… Read More
Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers have developed a technology that involves a tiny sensor implanted in the nerve of an injured limb and is connected directly to a healthy nerve. Each time the limb touches an object, the sensor is activated and conducts an electric current to the functioning nerve, which recreates the feeling of… Read More
