Asst Prof at @TelAvivUni. 🏳️🌈 (He/Him). We study glial-immune cross-talk in disease. #immunometabolism fan, SciFi geek🤓, father of 👫🐈. Views are my own.
Very proud to share our "first" publication in @Brain1878, spearheaded by the talented @Rita_perel combining my two passions - #Astrocytes and #immunometabloism. Here, we elucidate how astrocytes drive glioblastoma pathogenicity. https://t.co/WbrAOdsTm5
Breast Cancer to Brain Metastases
For the first time, scientists have uncovered how breast cancer cells manage to reach and grow in the brain - one of the deadliest and hardest places to treat.
The study identified a genetic and metabolic mechanism that helps cancer cells adapt to the brain’s environment, and showed that blocking this process can significantly slow the growth of brain metastases in experimental models.
The international research was led by TAU researchers Prof. Uri Ben-David and Prof. Ronit Satchi-Fainaro, together with Dr. Kathrin Laue and Dr. Sabina Pozzi, in collaboration with teams from around the world.
Beyond pointing to new treatment directions, the findings could also help doctors identify patients at higher risk earlier, and tailor monitoring and care accordingly.

It’s been a year and a day since my cousin Doron was kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas, and ten months since we last had any proof of life. Her fate lies in the hands of terrorists, while Israel’s worst government fails us. Holding onto hope is getting harder every day.#bringthemhome
#NewIssue On the cover: In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Li et al. reveal that sick neurons release lipids to the glia, causing lipid droplet accumulation and neuroinflammation. The artwork, inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night, depicts a brain with lipid droplets. Artwork by Melody Hui.

Thank you @NatureRevCancer@gabe__brewer for highlighting our study published in @CD_AACR on bone metastasis!
We LOVE the title: "Bone Voyage: immune crosstalk sets sail".

Are Psychiatric Disorders Brain Diseases?—A New Look at an Old Question

Can we develop a new approach to this problem that relies neither on philosophical argumentation nor outdated definitions of brain disorder?
EXCLUSIVE: @RealChrisBrunet and I have obtained documentation demonstrating that Harvard President Claudine Gay plagiarized multiple sections of her Ph.D. thesis, violating Harvard's policies on academic integrity.
This is a bombshell. 🧵
Prof. Claudine Gay - Words indeed matter, but "Actions speak louder than words." You must resign. Every day you are in office brings more sham to @Harvard

Liz thinks we're all idiots and would say to ourselves - "oh good, she was just thinking about the Constitution when she explained how calling for genocide against Jews is ok in the proper context".
It's bad enough OKing antisemitism on campus, stop treating us like idiots
