Research published in @NatureNano highlights a new tool that could help us prepare for the next viral threat.
Prof. Roy Bar-Ziv and his team at @WeizmannScience developed a cell-free biochip that can rapidly produce viral proteins and test how antibodies interact with them.
@YMerbl@WeizmannScience@Nature Her lab found a hidden layer of immunity in the machinery that recycles proteins. It produces bacteria-killing peptides, a first line of defence not seen before.
The discovery changes our understanding of immunity and points to new ways to tackle antibiotic resistance.
💙 This year, about 33,000 people in Canada were diagnosed with lung & bronchus cancer. Lung cancer remains the deadliest cancer in the country, which is why research matters more than ever.

🧬 For decades, scientists believed the brain was completely sterile. A new study from @StraussmanR and @WeizmannScience shows that isn’t true; instead, human brain tumours actually host diverse communities of bacteria.

💧 Can rocks at the bottom of the ocean tell the story of life on Earth?
@DavidsonOnline highlights new research revealing how traces of ancient carbon, preserved in oceanic rocks for more than one billion years, are helping scientists piece together Earth’s carbon history.
🧠 Scientists at @WeizmannScience and @MDAndersonNews have found that cancer disrupts brain-liver communication, causing life-threatening weight loss in mice.
The @cellcellpress study showed that blocking the signal stopped weight loss and improved health & survival.
