A new treatment developed at Tel Aviv University (TAU) may significantly enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, reducing the risk for lung metastasis following chemotherapy from 52% to only 6%. The study, conducted in an animal model, identified the mechanism that generates a cancer-promoting inflammatory environment in response to chemotherapy. Moreover, the… Read More
A new study conducted at Tel Aviv University (TAU) has determined that use of the Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) technique among women with increased risk of breast cancer can be very helpful in coping with stressful events, enhance emotional and psychological well-being, improve quality of sleep, and assist in decision-making. The study was led by… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) has found that the national resilience of the citizens of Ukraine, who are currently fighting for their independence, is comparatively very high (4.35) on a scale of 1 to 6. It is in fact significantly higher than the national resilience that characterized Israeli citizens at the height… Read More
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
A groundbreaking study at Tel Aviv University (TAU) suggests a new approach that effectively eradicates glioblastoma, a highly lethal type of brain cancer. The researchers achieved the outcome using a method they developed based on their discovery of two critical mechanisms in the brain that support tumor growth and survival: one protects cancer cells from… Read More
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a method that employs musical tests and a portable instrument for measuring brain activity to detect cognitive decline in old age. According to the researchers, the method, which is based on the measurement of 15 minutes of electrical activity in the brain while performing simple musical tasks,… Read More
