New paper from the Tanay lab on longevity is out today in @NatureAging! We employ machine learning to tackle a classical question: What makes some people live long, healthy lives, other than the fact that they are not sick with any chronic disease? https://t.co/4j6D1OHsEX (1/17)
Can a plant-based green-Mediterranean diet improve proximal aortic stiffness? New MRI-based study shows it is possible: https://t.co/UnKSPdtc68

New diet #microbiome research here! @EhudR4@KorenLab@KnightsDan & co provide evidence that the beneficial effects of the Green-Mediterranean diet, including weight loss & reduced cardiometabolic risk, are mediated by the gut microbiome.

Happy to share that the last chapter of my PhD is now out on @GenomeMedicine.
It was a great journey with lots of inspiring partners. I hope you will find its fruits worth reading ☺️

מזל טוב לפרופ' עומרי קורן, אחד מ-15 חוקרים מבר-אילן שזכו בפרס הרקטור לחדשנות מדעית לשנת תשפ"א, בגין הישגיו המדעיים!
בין היתר, פרופ' קורן חוקר מיקרוביום וזכה במענקים ופרסים יוקרתיים בעבר.

🔥🔥 Excited to share our new pre-print by @HillaLeon: “Over- and under-estimation of vaccine effectiveness”.
Can different dynamics between vaccinated and unvaccinated people affect vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimations?

We're looking for MSc and phD bioinformatics students! bckg in bioinformatics is better, but motivated to learn+some appeal to computers 🙃 (even w/o bckg) is also perfect. -The Geva-Zatorsky lab at the faculty of medicine, Techion, Bat Galim, on the beach and next to the train.

Paper submission/revision timeline:
1st time: Best paper out of my lab ever
2nd time: Still think it's pretty great
3rd time: Would much rather be filling out 20 Doodle polls
4th time: Detest it. Never want to see it again.
Proofs: Oh look. Nice paper.
I am excited to share the first preprint from our lab:
We show that the fungal pathogen Candida albicans can induce the formation of membrane tunnels within epithelial cells, allowing it to traverse several host cells without causing damage.

@_lewisy I clearly remember reading a document you created,
just a few weeks into the pandemic in Israel last year, suggesting the development of such a method for sewage monitoring.
I recall thinking- “I want to hear some more ideas from this guy!”
Our new report at @EJIM_journal in collaboration with @KorenLab, assessing the effects of autologous FMT on preservation of gut microbiome composition during weight regain, and its metabolic effect on the host.

I had the privilege to take part in the formulation of this important @JAMA_current report. We evaluated SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in breast milk following vaccination.
Check it out:

Study found robust secretion of #SARSCoV2 specific IgA and IgG antibodies in breast milk for 6 weeks after maternal vaccination, suggesting a potential protective effect against infection in the infant. https://t.co/r4NBuKojlf
למי שעוד מחפש סיבה ללכת להתחסן.
במחקר יחד עם @EhudR4 וד"ר אילן יונגסטר שפורסם בעיתון @CDCMMWR, הראינו שההתחסנות האינטנסיבית של האוכלוסיה מעל גיל 70 (84% מחוסנים בתחילת פברואר) שינתה את דינמיקת החולים המונשמים בהשוואה לצעירים מגיל 50 (10% מחוסנים)
