The consumption of soft drinks, supplemented with white sugar, alters the DNA of gut bacteria and affects the host immune system. The good news? These effects are reversible. Findings by researchers from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology—Professor Naama Geva-Zatorsky, Ph.D. student Noa Gal-Mandelbaum and other members of the Geva-Zatorsky team—were recently published in Nature Communications. Tamar Ziv and the Smoler Proteomics Center at the Technion assisted with the research. Gut bacteria are important members of the microbial community within the human body, i.e., the microbiome. These bacteria, which have…
For many older adults, something as simple as breakfast can become a challenge. Chewing is harder, digestion is slower, and foods once enjoyed lose their appeal. But what if a bowl of cereal could do more than just start the day? What if it could support better health, be easy to eat, and actually taste […]

“We couldn’t even begin,” Prof. Horowitz-Kraus said. “There was no school. There was chaos. And when the children finally started coming in a few weeks later, I noticed right away — something had changed.” These six-year-olds were more distracted than the children she had scanned in previous studies. They struggled to focus. Something in their […]

Forty years of clinical studies leave no doubt that a diet rich in fresh vegetables saves lives. The link between lack of fresh dietary vegetables and early death from diseases like cancer and heart disease is clear. By fully embracing World Health Organization guidelines concerning fresh vegetables, that risk could slashed by nearly half. “As a cancer immunotherapy researcher, who’s lived and breathed the immune system for years, I realized that the way to fight disease starts not in the hospital but on the plate,” says Dr. Tsipi Shoham, founder and CEO of GreenOnyx. She spearheaded the creation of this…
During my time with the American Technion Society (ATS), I have always been blown away by how we have cultivated a united community from different areas of the country to support the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and the State of Israel. As a testament of that commitment, we are excited to announce the incredible milestone of having raised more than $1 billion over the last decade. Regardless of our backgrounds, each and every member has made a distinct impact on the future of the Technion, thereby ensuring the future of Israel itself. Philanthropy is an essential tool, not…
Summer Sofer’s love for soccer began at the age of four and quickly became an indelible part of her identity. “I was always that athlete,” she explained. “Soccer gave me structure – it made me feel good, and it helped me manage life and school.” The sport wasn’t just a pastime; it was a training […]
U.S. astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams splashed down to Earth on Tuesday after more than nine months in space. But now, they have a new mission: recovery. Why it matters: Muscle atrophy, bone density loss and even vision changes are expected side effects of long-duration space missions. And while some of the impacts of a layover hundreds of miles above Earth are quickly reversible, others can persist. Wilmore and Williams splashed down Tuesday evening after undocking from the International Space Station early that morning. Zoom in: One prominent effect of extended time in microgravity is muscle atrophy…
Nora Nseir, the founder and co-CEO of Nurami Medical, knows that the Haifa-based biomed company’s groundbreaking product may not seem particularly impressive at first glance. It looks like a plain white bandage, just 5 cm in width and length, but if everything goes according to plan, it could fundamentally change the way doctors treat brain and spinal cord injuries. The product’s ability to regenerate meningeal tissue after complex neurological surgeries sets it apart. So far, $16 million has been invested in Nurami, and the company is now completing another funding round—this time for $30 million. There is still a long…
