A Tight Squeeze
Press Release
01.01.1996
One of the first things we learn about nature is that water turns into a solid when it is frozen. For this change of state to occur, drastic alterations in environment such as a drop in temperature or an increase in pressure were always considered necessary -- until now. Weizmann Institute researchers have shown for the first time that it is possible to cause a liquid to solidify by merely confining it between two smooth surfaces without applying pressure.
New Approach to Fighting Autoimmune Diseases
25.12.1995
A natural mechanism by which the body turns off inflammation may serve as a basis for the design of a new class of drugs against multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases. This mechanism -- demonstrated by a team of scientists led by Prof. Lawrence Steinman of the Weizmann Institute of Science and Stanford University Medical Center -- has already been used to block an autoimmune disease in laboratory animals, as reported in today's issue of Nature.
