New Drug Delivery System May Help Fight Rheumatoid Arthritis
26.06.1996
Disease, Drugs & Diagnostics
REHOVOT, Israel -- June 26, 1996 -- A potential method for treating rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and other chronic inflammatory disorders has been developed in an animal study conducted by Weizmann Institute and Ben-Gurion University researchers. This approach -- described in the current issue of Cytokine -- may also be used to control excessive weight loss such as that occurring in cancer, AIDS and tuberculosis.
Link Between El Nino and Rainfall in Israel Discovered
24.06.1996
Environment
REHOVOT, Israel -- June 24, 1996 -- El Nino, the periodic abnormal warming of surface water in the eastern equatorial Pacific, has long been notorious for the devastation it often inflicts on South America. But now it appears that its effects reach as far as the Middle East -- and surprisingly, they may actually be positive.
Breaking Up a Super Relationship
14.06.1996
Disease, Drugs & Diagnostics
REHOVOT, Israel -- June 14, 1996 -- A key enzyme that acts as a "suicide weapon" causing cells to self-destruct has been discovered by Weizmann Institute researchers.
Six Prizes to Weizmann Institute Scientists
10.06.1996
People
REHOVOT, Israel -- June 10, 1996 -- Six outstanding Weizmann Institute scientists have just received prizes for their research work. Dr. Shimon Edelman of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science was awarded the Morris L. Levinson Prize in Mathematics for his research on representation of three-dimensional objects in vision.
Record Number of Doctoral Degrees Conferred at Feinberg Graduation Ceremony
04.06.1996
REHOVOT, Israel -- June 4, 1996 -- A record number of doctoral degrees was conferred at the Feinberg Graduate School's annual graduation ceremony held on the Weizmann Institute campus on Sunday, June 2. The 87 Ph.D.s were the largest number awarded since the graduate school was founded in 1958; a large number of M.Sc. degrees was also conferred. The high figures largely reflect the huge wave of immigration to Israel from the former Soviet Union in recent years.
Waxy Woes of Winter
01.06.1996
Chemistry
Remember winter? When you can't get a truck started in the morning because the engine is clogged up and your skin cream hardens if you leave it out in the cold? These and other phenomena are caused by crystals forming in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the case of the truck engine, for example, it's the hydrocarbons contained in gasoline that crystallize into wax -- a process that also clogs up pipes used for transporting diesel fuels.
Tumor Tip-Off
01.06.1996
Disease, Drugs & Diagnostics
Diagnosing and treating neuroblastomas among the most common solid tumors occurring in young children may soon be easier thanks to a study by researchers at the Weizmann Institute and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Alive In The Dead Sea
01.06.1996
Structural Biology
Survival is difficult anywhere, so why set up house in the Dead Sea, of all places? Although the chances of staying alive in the world's saltiest body of water are almost nil, this is precisely where bacteria called Haloarcula marismortui have elected to settle down. Stranger still, these creatures are themselves filled with liquid that is even saltier than the Dead Sea. What then is the secret of survival in salt?
Solutions Based on Polymer Technology to be Discussed at International Conference
07.05.1996
Environment
REHOVOT, Israel -- May 7, 1996 -- New ways to combat pollution in Mediterranean countries with the aid of polymers will be discussed at the MEDNET International Conference on Environmental Impact of Polymeric Materials, opening next Sunday, May 12, at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The conference is the first major international attempt to tackle the pressing pollution problems in the area on a regional basis through the use of polymer technology.
Corn Yields in Kenya Triple Thanks to New Weed-Fighting Strategy
17.04.1996
Plants and Agriculture
REHOVOT, Israel -- April 17, 1996 -- Corn yields on experimental plots in Kenya have tripled thanks to an innovative weed-fighting strategy developed by a Weizmann Institute scientist in collaboration with Kenyan researchers. These results will be reported on April 17 at the Sixth Parasitic Weed Symposium in Cordoba, Spain.
