Awesome work by Yarden Opatowsky and team! Always fun to visit Ran_Zalk_BGU_Cryo_EM and his new toy…

Cool lab, cool website, cool PI!

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Our recent paper, led by the one and only Ayelet Peres has just been published in Nucleic Acids Research. It introduces new methods for germline V allele annotation & genotype inference. [t.ly/YsoGo] 📄 🧵1/5

3/3💡 This robust activity of human SARM1 is what drives the degenerative function. Fascinatingly, when we introduced human SARM1 into C. elegans axons, they experienced degeneration after injury too! 💥

2/3 We've discovered that the key lies in the enzyme SARM1, responsible for executing the degeneration process by depleting the vital molecule NAD. 😮 Surprisingly, the C. elegansSARM1 (a.k.a. TIR-1) is significantly less active compared to the human ortholog.

1/3 🧠 Curious about why human neuronal axons degenerate after injury, while C. elegans axons remain intact? 🤔 Our new Cell Reports article in collaboration with hammarlab.org has the answer! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

When you are writing a manuscript and a rocket alert sets off….

Who said AI can’t create awesomeness? This made me laugh. 😂😂

A piece of modern history. These are the world’s flags, the 1938 edition. What is it in the black circle? hmm….

This is the doorstep to my lab. Israel will prevail! Together, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and any other religion in the country. We stay united against terrorism and ignorance!

This is what humanitarian aid looks like. And the fact that it’s coming from IDF soldiers says it all.

Nevo, my 17yrs old, is a speed cuber. Together with his friends they made the portrait of Ohad Munder. Ohad, a cuber himself, was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th. Ohad and other 235 Israelis are held hostage in Gaza ever since. #BringThemBackHomeNow

We are raising funds for scholarships for medical students that were drafted to defend Israel after the atrocities of October 7th barbaric attack by the Hamas-ISIS (see link). Open your hearts! If you cannot donate, please share this link: jgive.com/new/en/ils/don…

Prof. Omry Koren was chosen among the most cited scientists in academic journals, and has been recognized as such for the 6th consecutive year, according to a study conducted by Clarivate research and data processing company. KorenLab

Brilliant!!!!

Back to black 🤘🏻. The wonders of copper oxidation…don’t worry the prep was awesome! Good effort by ⁦Aakanksha Harit⁩ and Alexandra Boginya!

This is a fantastic discovery 🤯

Dr. Shai Bel has uncovered a surprising link between antibiotics and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a condition affecting about 1% of the world’s population. His research, published in the journal Science Advances, reveals that antibiotics hinder the secretion of protective
