Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have successfully restored youthful patterns of DNA organization in the livers of old mice, reversing key molecular features associated with aging. Protein linked to longevity restored youthful patterns of DNA organization in aging mouse livers, reversing…
The 17th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (COP17) will be held from 17 to 28 August 2026 in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, under the theme: “Restore the Land,” to…
A deep genetic mystery has baffled plant scientists for decades. Although leaves, stems, and flowers develop in strikingly similar ways across many plant species, scientists have struggled to identify the shared DNA instructions that guide their formation. A new study…
Israel has joined the European Union’s MedFish4Ever Declaration, a regional framework aimed at improving the management and recovery of fish stocks in the Mediterranean and Black seas. Israel has joined the European MedFish4Ever initiative for the first time, a regional…
The Notch receptor, which until now was considered only as a receiver of signals, also acts as a signaling molecule that activates neighboring cells and even signals them to engulf living cells. The study findings may change our understanding of…
A groundbreaking long-term MRI study demonstrates that lower accumulation of abdominal fat (visceral fat), measured throughout the entire follow-up period, is associated with a significant slowing of brain atrophy, preservation of key brain structures, and better cognitive performance in late…
A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with colleagues from Japan, has taken an important step toward the next generation of electronics. The scientists achieved highly precise control of the internal structure of graphene — an exceptionally…
A new study reveals how energy-efficient cellular machines rapidly untangle misfolded proteins – a finding that may help improve the design of artificial molecular machines. Trying to untangle a knot in a mess of strings can be frustrating and time-consuming.…
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, functional fragments rather than following the standard blueprint. This process,newly termed as “RNA dicing,” enables the production of a truncated form of the JAK1 protein…
New research from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev shows that plants can acquire nutrients not only from the soil but also from atmospheric dust that settles and dissolves on their leaves, releasing elements such as phosphorus and iron. In a Mediterranean…
