For over 50 years, we thought we knew the size and shape of Jupiter, the solar system’s largest planet. Now, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have revised that knowledge using new data and technology. In a new study, Weizmann scientists,…
What determines how long we live – and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades scientists believed that the heritability of human lifespan was relatively low compared to other human traits, standing at just…
New research reveals that activating the brain’s reward system through positive anticipation strengthens the immune response and increases antibody production. Can positive anticipation that activates the brain’s reward system strengthen the body’s immune defenses? A new study by Tel Aviv…
