Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have discovered a biological mechanism that boosts the production of myelin, the fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers (axons) and enables rapid, efficient transmission of electrical signals between neurons in the brain and the body. Their findings may serve as the basis for developing innovative treatments for severe neurological… Read More
A new study from a Tel Aviv University (TAU) researcher reveals that most massive stars formed in the early universe were born as binary systems, similar to the massive stars in our own galaxy. The research team says that these findings provide the first strong evidence that massive binary stars were common in the early… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) shows that during the cosmic “dark ages,” dark matter formed dense clumps throughout the universe, which pulled in hydrogen gas and caused it to emit intense radio waves. The study demonstrates for the first time the insights that can be obtained from detecting radio waves coming to… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Dana Dwek Children’s Hospital in Tel Aviv has shown that disease can be prevented in children with obesity by maintaining a low percentage of fat in the liver. The researchers used innovative methods to examine 31 Israeli children with obesity in an attempt to understand… Read More
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a new approach for using locked nucleic acids (LNAs), a particularly stable type of RNA, to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Their findings indicated improvement in all markers of systemic inflammation with no side effects. According to the researchers, this innovative… Read More
Both the social networking site LinkedIn and the PitchBook entrepreneurship index recently ranked Tel Aviv University (TAU) among the top international business schools. TAU’s Coller School of Management was included at #84 in LinkedIn’s list of 2025 Top MBA Programs, ranking above those of Pace University, Northeastern University, and the George Washington University School of… Read More
Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) have measured subjects’ memory without asking whether they remembered something or not, just by tracking their eye movements as they watched animation videos. The study demonstrated that people actually remember more than they report. Moreover, this method can be used to… Read More
Researchers at the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have introduced an innovative gene therapy method to treat impairments in hearing and balance caused by inner ear dysfunction. The treatment constitutes an improvement over existing strategies, demonstrating enhanced efficiency and holding promise for treating a wide range of mutations… Read More
