Food: Friend, Not Foe – New Study Explains Why
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have revealed the cellular network behind oral tolerance, the immune mechanism that enables us to eat food safely. If we have an allergy to peanuts, strawberries or dairy, we are quick to blame our immune systems. But...
Wake-Up Call for Dormant Cancer
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have revealed how breast cancer cells enter a state of dormancy, remaining undetected for years, and why they suddenly wake up and metastasize. Breast cancer is becoming increasingly treatable, but in some cases the...
Beyond Words
Weizmann Institute researchers have revealed that the melody of spoken English functions as a distinct language, with a vocabulary and rules of syntax. The findings lay the foundation for an AI that will understand language beyond just words. The AI revolution, which...
The Master Switch That Can Turn Immune Cells into Cancer Eradicators
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have identified a gene that reprograms macrophages into cancer-promoting cells — and show how to switch it off. To grow, cancer tumours must hijack the immune system for their needs. One of the main tricks that most...
All embroidery colours
AI-based technology developed in Dr Liat Keren's lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science has shown it enables an unprecedented view of processes in body tissues. Artificial intelligence systems are working magic in many areas of the life sciences – they help decipher...
Getting Cancer to Expose Itself
Researchers from Professor Yardena Samuels’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science have manipulated cancer cells into making themselves visible to the immune system, creating a new approach that gives hope to patients with previously untreatable disease. When your...
