Background As for today, an oral treatment to metastasis therapy is still an unmet challenge. We discovered a new approach to treat metastatic disease in that was verified in several preclinical models. Our Innovation A new approach to treat ...

Background Basic taste qualities like sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami serve specific functions in identifying food components found in the diet of humans and animals, and are recognized by bitter taste receptors in the oral cavity. It is ...

Background Depositing conductive material on uneven and complex topographies is challenging while printing conductive patterns onto 3D structures. Available solutions to this need are complicated, require costly printers that are not suitable ...

Background There are many areas contaminated soil all over the world and especially in industrialized countries. There is a constant demand for cost effective remediation solutions, in particular for Oil contamination. Existing ozone ...

Background The healing of fractures could be a slow process that implies patient suffering and temporary disability, and incurs costs to healthcare, insurance and social security systems. The current interventions for stabilization of ...

  Background Zinc and copper are essential metal-ions for numerous biological processes.  Their levels are tightly maintained in all body organs. Impairment of serum Zn2+ to Cu2+ ratio (ZCR) was found to correlate with many disease states, ...

Background Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in elderlies in the western world and an increasingly growing problem. The global AMD and diabetic retinopathy treatment market is overwhelmingly dominated by ...

  Background Precise measurement of time is essential for many aspects of modern technology. The ubiquitous need for a stable frequency or wavelength reference has major implications for applications related to navigation, communication, ...

  Application Improved electrical connections between neurons and electronic devices for human-device improved interface and for research Highlights The ring-like Stable Protein 1 (SP1) is a homo-dodecamer with an outer diameter of 11nm and ...

  Background Implant devices are extensively used, but have a few limitations: Most implants remain in the body even after they finish their task Removal of implants is costly and requires an invasive procedure; only 20-30% are actually ...

Categories Oncology, Cancer, Diagnostics Development Stage In vitro proof of concept and small animals Patent Status PCT application filed Market Cancer testing is currently one of the most important growth opportunities diagnostics ...

Background Most cancers are unstable and highly susceptible to cell death; hence tumors represent a steady-state picture of unregulated proliferation as well as ongoing cell death. Therefore, substantial levels of tumor specific DNA may be ...

Our Innovation We have developed a non-toxic, ecologically-friendly anti-bacterial agent that prevents bacterial diseases in agricultural crops, including in fruit and vegetables – caused mainly by pathogenic bacteria. Such diseases are ...

Reches Meital, HUJI, Faculty of Science, The Institute of Chemistry Background The surface chemistry and topography of implants are very important to their design. This is because the interface between the implant and the human body will ...

Background  Micro-emulsions are formed more or less spontaneously when their components are brought into contact.  They have been the only successful delivery systems for certain types of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly compounds such as ...

Background In the brain, α-Synuclein (α-Syn) protein is associated with the pathogenesis and progression of Parkinson’s disease and the related synucleinopathies, neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the abnormal accumulation of ...

Computer-assisted addition of colors to monochrome images or movies  Highlights Computer-assisted process for adding colors to monochrome images or films Simplifies colorization process by exploiting the premise that neighboring pixels in ...

    Background The process of cancer metastasis consists of a series of sequential events that requires deregulated proliferation and eventually distal dissemination involving detachment from the extracellular matrices and invasion of the ...

Background Epigenome editing by DNA methylation or demethylation of regulatory sequences are widely required in medicine and in biomedical research, but current technologies are non-specific and provide unpredictable effects. This technology ...
