Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have deciphered a mechanism that enables skin cancer to metastasize to the brain and managed to delay the spread of the disease by 60% to 80% using existing treatments. The study was led by Professor Ronit Satchi-Fainaro and PhD student Sabina Pozzi of TAU’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine. The… Read More
A new Tel Aviv University (TAU) study rejects assertions that the origin of the COVID-19 outbreak was in bats. According to the study, bats have a highly effective immune system that enables them to deal relatively easily with viruses considered lethal for other mammals. The study was led by Dr. Maya Weinberg from the laboratory… Read More
A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) has demonstrated that antibodies isolated from the immune system of recovered COVID-19 patients are effective in neutralizing all known strains of the virus, including the Delta and the Omicron variants. According to the researchers, this discovery may eliminate the need for repeated booster vaccinations and strengthen… Read More
