Emma’s Gene
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science and international colleagues have discovered a rare disorder caused by a missing genetic brake, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Emma Broadbent was born nine years ago in Dallas, Texas, with...
Catch a Virus by Its Tail
A bacterial immune system that alters the tails of phages - a parasitic virus that reproduces itself in bacteria – might help clarify an immunity mechanism in humans, a new Weizmann Institute of Science study shows. Phages have a head and a tail. The head contains the...
Sperm Welcome – But Their Mitochondria Must Go
Why do we inherit only maternal mitochondria? A new Weizmann Institute of Science study shows how the paternal versions are deliberately destroyed. Within minutes of fertilisation, the egg of a fruit fly becomes a scene from the battle of the sexes. The egg attacks...
The Constant Gardener Regulating Pain
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have discovered a protein that prunes nerve endings, regulating sensitivity to pain. The findings could help pave the way toward the development of new chronic pain management methods. Like treetops reaching high into the sky...
A Sweet New MRI Method ‘Lights Up’ Pancreatic Cancer
Altered glucose digested by cancer cells helps reveal tumours’ hiding places, new research at the Weizmann Insitute of Science shows. Pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect, in part because the pancreas sits deep in the abdominal cavity in a position that can vary...
When the Light Particle Saw the Light
A Weizmann Institute study of photons in quantum computing has made a surprising discovery: When photons collide, they create vortices. Vortices are a common physical phenomenon. You find them in the structure of galaxies, tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as in a cup...
