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 Current preclinical and clinical data indicate that there is negligible release of drug from circulating liposomes. Once liposomes extravagate to extracellular tissue fluids, little is known of the processes determining drug release. ...

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 ...

Background There is a growing demand in the field of biological drugs for improved protein expression platforms. Consequently there is a need for affordable manufacturing methods. Our Innovation A new concept of vector design that incorporates ...

  Background Mutations in specific genes or proteins variability can dramatically enhance our probability to get cancer. Similarly, genetic variability could have the opposite effect and actually protect us from cancer, other diseases and even ...

Background Critical utilities and transportation infrastructure have demanding requirements to maintain high operational loads. It is essential that these sites will be free from encroaching vegetation which interferes with performance and ...

Background Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) are leading causes of blindness in the Western world. Both are characterized by pathological angiogenesis in the various eye structures. With high prevalence  in  ...

Background        Many of today’s leading compounds and drugs in pipeline fail to reach clinical stages due to poor oral bioavailability. In addition, Increase in oral bioavailability leads a lower inter and intra subject variability. Our ...

  Background Neuro-protective drugs products of all types protect the brain and peripheral nervous system neurons from degeneration and injury by promoting neuronal survival, proliferation and differentiation. These products can be used in the ...

Fills the gap between crystallography and optical imaging    Background Information about macromolecules is encoded in their shape and the way they are assembled. X-ray scattering methods are important tools for investigating the structure and ...

  Categories Biofilm, anti-biofilm, anti-biofilm peptides, antiseptic agent, disinfectant agents, antibacterial agents, antimicrobial agent, chemical disinfectants, biocides. Development Stage Pre-clinical proof of concept and initial ...

  Background Conventional antibiotics are used to treat bacterial diseases in aquaculture. The use of antibiotics is associated with harmful side effects such as resistance induction and accumulation of drugs in aquaculture products and aquatic ...

Reduces incidence of serious errors and costs Errors are a serious concern in high performance computing. Increase in machine size and decrease in operating voltage lead to increase in the incidence of hard errors (component failure) and soft ...

Background TD-test kit is a simple modification of the standard disk-diffusion assay that allows the semi-quantitative evaluation of survival rate and killing dynamics of Bacteria. The TDTest enables the detection of tolerant and persistent ...

Background Sensors for the detection of explosives are important for humanitarian de-mining, remediation of explosives waste sites, homeland security, and forensic applications. Different sensors for analyzing explosives have developed ...
