Congratulations to Ruth Galily for her new article published in Molecules!
In the article, the researchers report the synthesis of 3 novel CBG derivatives, which carry anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. We believe that HUM-223, HUM-233 and HUM-234 have the potential for development as novel drug candidates for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, and in the case of HUM-234, potentially for obesity where there is a huge […]
Congratulations to Prof Michael Berger and his team on their new article published in Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC)
In the article, the researchers study changes in T cells water mass during cell activation and growth. Our work provides a method to analyze cell water content, as well as insights into the ways cells regulate their water mass. Figure 2: T cell growth is associated with a gradual decrease in wet to total volume ratio […]
Congratulations to Prof. Michal Baniyash and Dr. Yaron Meirow for their new paper published in Nature Bone Research!
In the article, the researchers identify and characterize two cell populations that contribute to bone loss during chronic inflammatory diseases. “Our findings suggest a central role of inflammatory osteoclast precursors in (iOCPs) bone loss initiation. iOCPs can serve as potential biomarkers for inflammatory bone loss (IBL) detection, and possibly as new therapeutic targets to combat […]
The LRC/CL mourns the passing of Joyce Powell from Los Angeles, California.
Joyce was among the pioneers who funded Concern Foundation back in the 1960s. She was an ardent supporter of cancer research at the LRC for more than five decades. She was a unique character that inspired the community of the Concern Foundation and the many young researchers supported by Concern grants. Senior LRC Faculty and […]
Congratulations to Prof. Dana Wolf and PhD. Student Olesya Vorontsov for their article published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation !
In the article, the researchers aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers of CMV-related fetal brain injury and identified two amniotic fluid proteins that could be employed in the clinical setting to profoundly improve the prognostic assessment of CMV-infected fetuses. Figure 4. Amniotic fluid chemerin (A) and Gal-3BP (B) levels in fetuses with severe cCMV (SCC), sensorineural hearing […]
