Webinar with Professor Asya Rolls Why is it that at least one-third of patients in medical trials get better with placebos? Many scientists are connecting the dots. Neuroscience has shown that every thought and emotion triggers specific brain activity that can be measured and manipulated. In this special webinar, Technion Professor Asya Rolls talks about her research in understanding how one’s positive thoughts and expectations may impact the body’s ability to fight off germs. In one study, she showed that the release of the so-called “feel-good neurotransmitter” dopamine disabled tumor-promoting cells in the immune system of mice, allowing them to…
A Webinar with Professor Avi Schroeder Whether it is the coronavirus behind the global COVID-19 pandemic, or one that causes a devastating disease in shrimp, all viruses require certain proteins in order to pass from one cell to another. Stopping the production of those proteins will effectively stop the virus. In this special webinar, Technion Professor Avi Schroeder talks about how synthesizing a molecule called siRNA, and using it to replace naturally occurring RNA molecules, has proven effective in stopping the highly destructive white spot virus from passing from one cell to another in shrimp. According to Prof. Schroeder, it…
Researchers at the Technion have developed a standalone system that produces water from the air, even in desert regions. The innovative system is capable of providing water to small and isolated communities, without the need to transport water for long distances. Water: An essential element for life According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), about 13% of the world’s population will suffer from insufficient availability of drinking water by 2025. It’s why access to fresh water is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 — and why Technion researchers were so…
