Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have uncovered physical laws explaining why cracks in materials break their symmetry while spreading. These findings lay the groundwork for the design of more resilient materials which could have significant implications for...
New research from the Weizmann Institute of Science and recently published in Nature Communications has delved into the process by which small sequences of RNA – microRNAs – regulate the long ones, predicting ways in which microRNAs would bind to the messenger...
Global efforts to eradicate malaria are dependent on scientists’ ability to outsmart the malaria parasite and a new study suggests a possible defence in the battle against this disease. Plasmodium falciparum - the parasite that causes malaria - is notoriously clever:...
We usually think of the immune system as the body’s police force, vigilantly patrolling for invading pathogens and toxins to destroy—but a new study published in Nature Communications from Professor Orly Reiner’s laboratory in the Weizmann Institute's Department of...
