So proud to share the work of @DrAakanksha23 and team. Well done and well deserved.
I’m excited to share our first ever preprint by Harit https://t.co/3ZVVnra7eV.:

Dr. Shai Bel has uncovered a surprising link between antibiotics and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a condition affecting about 1% of the world’s population.
His research, published in the journal Science Advances, reveals that antibiotics hinder the secretion of protective mucus enabling bacteria to penetrate deeper into the gut, leading to bacterial infiltration, systemic bacterial antigen replication, and ulcers - all hallmarks of IBD.
"This finding shatters the paradigm that antibiotics harm only bacteria and not our own cells," Dr. Bel explains. But Dr. Bel and his team are already planning their next steps. They aim to explore potential treatments that could mitigate the adverse effects of antibiotics on mucus secretion.

We are raising funds for scholarships for medical students that were drafted to defend Israel after the atrocities of October 7th barbaric attack by the Hamas-ISIS (see link). Open your hearts! If you cannot donate, please share this link:

Nevo, my 17yrs old, is a speed cuber. Together with his friends they made the portrait of Ohad Munder. Ohad, a cuber himself, was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th. Ohad and other 235 Israelis are held hostage in Gaza ever since. #BringThemBackHomeNow
This is the doorstep to my lab. Israel will prevail! Together, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and any other religion in the country. We stay united against terrorism and ignorance!
