    Producing ‘green’ energy — literally — from living plant ‘bio-solar cells’

    04/01/2023

    (Text by the American Chemical Society.) Though plants can serve as a source of food, oxygen and décor, they’re not often considered to be a good source of electricity. But by collecting electrons naturally transported within plant cells, scientists can generate electricity as part of a “green,” biological solar cell. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied… Read More

    Are Antibiotic Cocktails Effective?

    13/11/2022
    איור אומנותי של תוצאות המחקר. המחקר מראה כי אינטראקציות בין סוגי אנטיביוטיקה שונים עלולים לפגוע ביעילות הטיפול, ולעתים תרופה בודדת יעילה יותר משילוב עם תרופות אחרות. איור: Eniko Kolliger

    Researchers at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have developed a technique to measure the long-term effects of antibiotic combinations, or cocktails. These combinations are of serious interest to the scientific and medical communities because the use of single antibiotics often leads to the rapid development of bacterial resistance to these drugs. The research… Read More

    Technion Researchers Discover Unique Peptides with Anti-Cancer Potential

    08/11/2022
    באיור: בתחילת התהליך נקשרים הפפטידים המעגליים לשרשרת האוביקוויטין; כתוצאה מכך נפגע מנגנון תיקון ה-DNA; ובסופו של דבר עוברים תאי הסרטן תהליך של מוות תאי (אפופטוזיס)

    A new paper published in Nature Communications presents a study on unique peptides with anti-cancer potential. The study was led by Professor Ashraf Brik and post-doctoral fellows Dr. Ganga B. Vamisetti and Dr. Abbishek Saha from the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, along with Professor Nabieh… Read More

    The Path to Healthy Aging

    Life expectancy is consistently increasing thanks to progress in health care, science, and technology. However, longer lives have not meant an improved quality of life for the elderly. In response to this important global challenge, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has gathered researchers from different faculties in order to establish the Healthy Aging… Read More

    Paving the way for Cancer Vaccines

    31/08/2022

    “It is basically a ‘therapeutic cancer vaccine’,” Prof. Arie Admon from the Technion Faculty of Biology explains the mechanism behind the immunotherapy cancer treatment that is the focus of his lab. “It activates the body’s own immune system against the tumor.” Immunotherapy treatments are coming to prominence in recent years, surpassing traditional chemotherapy in its… Read More

    Do Proteins Remember?

    מימין לשמאל: פרופ' אלכס ברונשטיין, ד"ר איילי מרכס והדוקטורנט אביב רוזנברג

    A study integrating biological ideas and new computer science tools has uncovered novel associations between genetic coding and protein structure, which could potentially change the way we think about protein production in the ribosome – the cell’s “protein assembly line.” The research, authored by Professor Alex Bronstein, Dr. Ailie Marx, and Ph.D. student Aviv Rosenberg,… Read More
