Research at the Technion's Faculty of Biology Paves the Way for Innovative Lung Cancer Treatment Researchers at the Technion's Faculty of Biology at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have unveiled a promising new approach to treat lung cancer, particularly lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Led by Prof. Nabieh Ayoub and doctoral student feras machour, with contributions from Dr. Enas Rinawi and Alma Sophia Barisaac, the study was published in Nature Communications and named the Faculty of Biology’s "Article of the Month." Funded by the Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) Research-Fund (ICRF), the research focused on the role of the RBM10 protein in LUAD and identified potential therapeutic targets for RBM10-deficient cancers. Preclinical trials have shown that inhibiting the WEE1 gene could be an effective treatment strategy, paving the way for new, personalized cancer therapies. read more here: https://lnkd.in/gfPRbtk2 #lungcancerresearch #cancertreatment #innovativemedicinee #cancertherapy #PersonalizedMedicine #adenocarcinoma #CancerGenomics

Prof. Isaiah Arkin researches the field of Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins. He explored, along with HIYA LAHIRI, In the national Biosafty Level 3 (BSL-3) facility at the The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the genus Orthoflaviviruses, which belongs to the Flaviviridae family of enveloped positive-strand RNA viruses. This family includes several important arboviral pathogens that pose specific health burdens, such as the dengue virus, West Nile virus, Zika virus, yellow fever virus, and tick-borne encephalitis. The research findings, provide a list of blockers that inhibit dengue virus DP1 protein, moreover, similar methodologies applied to SARS-CoV-2 have yielded promising results, indicating that channel blockers do indeed exhibit antiviral activity.

One standout attendee at this year’s PLANETech - Climate Change Technologies conference in Tel Aviv was Platypus, led by CEO Gilad Yarkoni. Yarkoni aims to transform pest management and offer a safer, more sustainable alternative to traditional pesticides. Yarkoni explained to the Impact Nation team what sets Platypus apart: a two-pronged approach. First, they offer extended-release natural pest control methods (essential oils, pheromones), reducing reliance on harsh chemicals. They’ve also eliminated the need for complex formulations, instead offering a pre-mixed base – an industry first! Freeing ourselves entirely from harmful pesticides is no easy task, but Platypus is clearly up to the challenge! #PLANETech2024 #ImpactNation #sustainability #climateaction #pestmanagement #environmentalimpact #naturalsolutions #Platypus

New paths for diversity in innovation in Israel are emerging through a collaboration between Sheba Medical Center and the Druze community. An initiative, established by Sheba Impact, ARC Innovation, and Ofakim LaAtid ("Future Horizons")—and led by Amir Hasson, a dedicated member of the Sheba team and the Druze community—connects talented Druze entrepreneurs with mentors and resources. Five innovative entrepreneurs recently showcased their solutions at a breakthrough panel, marking the beginning of this transformative program. "If we, as civil society and hospitals, don't lead the change, it simply won't happen. That's why we started this initiative," shares Prof. Arnon Afek, Associate Director General at Sheba.

At Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. This time, our Bioinformatics Unit, led by Dr. Liron Levin, has developed sNucConv, an AI-powered tool that's transforming how scientists analyze the cellular composition of tissues. Why does this matter? Single-cell RNA sequencing is crucial for understanding complex tissues like the brain or fat, but traditional methods often hit their limits. That's where sNucConv comes in—achieving groundbreaking accuracy (~0.9 correlation) in identifying different cell types, even in challenging tissue environments. The best part? sNucConv requires just 3-4 samples to pinpoint about 15 distinct cell types with precision, making it faster and more efficient than ever before. Published in iScience, this research highlights a giant leap forward in tissue analysis. By combining artificial intelligence with a unique reference dataset, sNucConv bridges the gap between whole-cell and nuclear RNA analysis—unlocking new opportunities for researchers worldwide. According to Dr. Levin, this methodology is adaptable to various tissue types, opening the door for breakthroughs in brain research and beyond. We're proud to see Israeli biotechnology making waves in global science, and sNucConv is just the latest example of how AI and biology go hand in hand at BGU.

Meet Benny Ben-Meir: The Heart and the Mind Behind Proleafera ✋ I'm Benny, a fourth-generation Israeli farmer from Moshav Tel Adashim. Growing up, I was deeply connected to the land. My family's farming roots ran deep, and I learned the value of hard work and nurturing the earth. This shaped my passion for agriculture and my vision for its future - not just as a traditional practice, but as an agri-tech revolution. My journey hasn't been without its challenges. I've ventured into various business opportunities, facing obstacles and setbacks. But these experiences didn't discourage me; they strengthened my determination. They taught me the power of resilience and the importance of pursuing a vision with unwavering commitment. What drove me to create Proleafera? It started with discovering moringa - a unique super plant with incredible nutritional value. I was captivated by its potential as a natural source of protein and its health benefits. The more I learned, the more I realized its untapped potential to transform global nutrition. This discovery inspired me to think beyond traditional agriculture and focus on creating an innovative, comprehensive approach. But what truly sets me apart is my ability to move mountains and bring people along with me. My passion and drive have become the heartbeat of Proleafera, rallying the team around a shared vision. Through my leadership, we're not just building a product - we're building a movement for a healthier, more #sustainable future 🌍 #meettheteam #goteam #agritech

Israeli Startup Raised $20 Million to Expand Precision-Spray Tech Greeneye Technology, an Israel-based precision agriculture tech company, raised $20 million. Deep Insight, an Israeli investment company, led the round with participation from existing investors Syngenta Group Ventures, JVP, Orbia Ventures, and Mellanox. Farmers increasingly face challenges with spraying chemical herbicides via conventional broadcast. Greeneye’s technology can detect and spray only those areas with weeds, rather than hitting crops or bare ground. Greeneye will use the funding to scale up its operations in the USA and introduce new features and capabilities to its system. “A big concern today for farmers is, they’re running out of tools to manage the weeds on the farm because of resistance,” explains Greeneye CEO Nadav Bocher. “Farmers are getting excited about this technology not only because of the savings but also because of the options it opens as far as weed control”. The total funding the startup raised is $45 million. Greeneye launched its technology in 2022. Source: https://lnkd.in/dWt2cCBq

Lavie Bio, an Israeli agritech company that uses bacteria to help crops grow, says it has received a grant from the government’s Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) to advance its development of a breakthrough technology. The patented technology, named MicroFermentor, is based on an innovative microbe formulation that enables the multiplication of beneficial bacteria directly on a plant, reducing application costs, extending shelf life and prolonging the bacteria’s viability after field application. Rehovot-based Lavie, a subsidiary of leading Israeli computational biology company Evogene, says the novel technology offers a unique opportunity for new bacterial-based solutions, which had previously not met market requirements due to production cost and shelf life. #agritech #crops #microbeformulation #bacteria #cropsgrowth #israelitech #israelinnovation #bacterialbasedsolutions https://lnkd.in/dkC8V4eP
