Our Innovation We found and patented that approved drugs enhance the expression of NKp30 ligand. The upregulation is persistent and does not affect cell viability. We suggest to use this new modality as a combination therapy to improve ...

Application Middleboxes play a major role in Software Defined Networks (SDN) as forwarding compressed packets is not enough to meet operators demands in terms of security, QoS/QoE provisioning and load balancing. In current systems, Deep Packet ...

Our Innovation   The finding by HUJI researchers uncovers a novel structure of an outer mitochondrial membrane [Fe-S] protein (mitoNEET) determined by X-ray crystallography (Fig 1)  MitoNEET is an outer mitochondrial membrane protein that ...

  Vibrant, Efficient, Low-Cost Emitters:   Background Perovskite nanoparticles are revolutionizing display technologies by down-converting some of the light from the blue LED backlight to narrow-band red and green components which results in ...

  Background Many important biochemical compounds and drugs of natural origin contain spirofuranone ring structures (these structures exist among carbohydrates, terpenoids, vitamins, alkaloids, glycosides and antibiotics). All derived from a ...

  Background        Very small tumors (<5mm) in gastrointestinal GI tract can hardly be detected by external means (CT, MRI, etc.) or ultrasound endoscopic examination. Stomach and liver cancers as well as pancreas are deadliest diseases ...

  Background Oxazine, Azaspirone, Quinolines, Quinolinone, and Quinolinol structures are frequently observed as scaffold segments in various biochemical compounds. These architectures have been identified as building blocks of a numerous ...

  Background Methylene lactone structures are frequently observed as scaffold segments of various biochemical compounds. These architectures have been identified as building blocks of numerous terpenoids, as well as other families of diverse ...

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 ...
