Making a mess is usually easier than cleaning it up, but, as it turns out, there are exceptions to this rule. In a study published in Materials Horizons, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science showed that in promising solar materials called halide perovskites,...

September 10, 2019
It is one of the great mysteries of life: A tiny ball of identical cells implants itself in the uterus, and somehow, these cells begin to differentiate – each heading for a different fate. Ultimately, using the same “list of ingredients,” these cells will differentiate into the h...

September 12, 2019
Diversity – at least among cancer cells – is not a good thing. Weizmann Institute of Science research shows that in melanoma, tumors with cells that have differentiated into more diverse subtypes are less likely to be affected by the immune system, thus reducing the chance that i...

September 23, 2019
Glioblastoma, a typically incurable brain cancer, is a master of diversity. Not only do the tumors differ from one patient to the next, but cells within each tumor differ greatly from one another. In a study published recently in Cell, researchers at the Weizmann Institu...

October 7, 2019
In the recurring, deadly Ebola outbreaks in parts of Africa, today’s health workers now have at least some tools to fight the disease: vaccines. Vaccines against Ebola have been administered to over 100,000 people to date, but they are barely out of the experimental stage. It is...

NK: Before there was life on earth, molecules already displayed behavior that resembles life. Dr. Omer Markovitch tries to understand that behavior using predictive computer models. OM: How did life originate on earth? That is far too big a question to investigate all at once....

September 26, 2019
Hundreds of millions of years have passed since we split off from our common ancestor with bacteria, but we still share a kind of immune system with them. This was the finding of research in the group of Prof. Rotem Sorek of the Weizmann Institute of Science, recently reported in...
