Special project: The Israeli scientists who stunned the world with 5 groundbreaking studies
Science fiction, miracle, the act of creation - each of these words describes what is happening right now in research institutes and laboratories in Israel โข Dozens of groundbreaking and life changing studies, of which we chose five and talked to the scientists behind them.
Breakthrough: A pill of gut bacteria to prevent obesity
Prof. Iris Shai, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben Gurion University: "What bothered me was how we overcome the fact that in half a year of healthy nutrition we reach our maximum and hence it works less well for us. What are we doing here? What can we leverage from this optimal half year? "And we got the bacteria." "We have found that we can improve our own gut bacteria, the macro-bio, with the help of a green diet and later re-implant the bacterial memory and prevent re-weight gain," she said.
Breakthrough: Growing embryos outside the uterus in the processor
Prof. Yaakov Hanna, head of the Stem Cell Laboratory at the Weizmann Institute: "We recently developed a method to grow precocious embryos outside the uterus." I did not expect it to work, I said it would be fine if it did not work. But we are of course greedy scientists, every time we progress a bit then say we want even more. We can see how a fetus transforms its shape from a sphere of cells that is shapeless, within 5 days, to form intact with all its organs. We can also control his environment as he grows up. " The second implication is whether it can work or facilitate or replace the growth of mammals outside the uterus. "
Breakthrough: Edible Steak in a Laboratory Using 3D Bio-Printing with Biological Ink
Prof. Shulamit Levenberg, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion: "We have actually worked for many years in the field of tissue engineering for medical purposes - whether it is muscle tissue, or heart muscle or bone tissue, to replace and repair damaged tissue in the body. This technological development of cell growth "In three dimensions, it also brought us the opportunity to come and produce muscle tissue that is simply from cow cells and can be used for food."
Breakthrough: An innovative blood test that will change the way diseases are diagnosed
Dr. Israa Sharqiya and Dr. Ronen Sadeh, Department of Biological Chemistry at the Institute of Life Sciences of the Hebrew University: "We developed a blood test that can diagnose diseases, and this year the article was published and we are now trying to get it out of the lab and make it accessible to doctors and patients. "Healthy, they will take a blood test from him, this blood test will reach our laboratories and we will be able to tell him that he is fine or that we may see a development of some process."
Breakthrough: Remedies without the use of animals by human organ technology on a chip
Prof. Ya'akov Nahmias, Head of the Center for Bioengineering at the Hebrew University: "As much as I love animals and I am really dedicated to reducing experiments and working with animals - that is not the reason I do it. The reason I wake up in the morning to work is because I think of using my husband Life is just not efficient anymore and we actually have to move on to the 21st century and beyond. "
