Despite their labs being destroyed in a missile attack, researchers at the Weizmann Institute made a groundbreaking discovery in leukemia diagnosis by analyzing free-floating stem cells in blood, potentially replacing painful bone marrow biopsies and enabling earlier, non-invasive detection and treatment of the disease.
The Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel suffered extensive damage from Iranian missile strikes, erasing decades of research, destroying laboratories, and destroying valuable samples, but the community remains resilient and committed to rebuilding and continuing their scientific work.
An Iranian missile struck the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, a key scientific and military research facility, highlighting escalating tensions and the institute's strategic importance in Israel's national security and technological development. The attack underscores vulnerabilities in Israeli infrastructure and the complex interplay between scientific progress and military security.
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute discovered that mice use their whiskers to produce ultrasonic sounds for echolocation, allowing them to navigate and identify objects in complete darkness, revealing a sophisticated biological sonar system that could inspire new human technologies.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have developed a new immunotherapy treatment that connects T cells to dendritic cells, resulting in a powerful immune response against cancerous growths. The treatment was found to be effective in reducing the growth rate of aggressive breast, lung, and skin cancers in mouse models. The new antibody, called BiCE, has shown promise in preventing the development of metastases in the lungs after the removal of the primary tumor. The institute has filed a patent application and is working on commercializing the innovative treatment, which could also have implications for autoimmune diseases.
