May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. And one important fact to be aware of is that the most common skin cancers, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, aren’t the ones that kill.

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University are exploring the bridge between neurosciences and machine learning again.

Now, a Tel Aviv University laboratory reports it has successfully isolated two antibodies that would neutralize the virus’s ability to infect human cells.

A team of scientists at Ben Gurion University are the latest to suggest future coronavirus outbreaks could be tracked using sewage water.

Researchers at the University of Haifa spotted dozens of sandbar sharks swimming near Ashdod last week, prompting researchers to suspect that Israel’s Mediterranean coastline may be an oasis for these majestic creatures.

Learning to decipher this language might help grow better crops or increase production of plant-based drugs

The cooperation between the different expertise of the scientists involved proved to be a key for the success of the study.

The team at the Weizmann Institute of Science Department of Neurobiology in Israel carried out an online survey involving 399 people from 19 countries.
