Excited to share our new paper in Science Translational Medicine! In our work we identified the ECM as a potential target to treat metastatic melanoma by targeting LOX and HSP70 with biselective LOX-propeptide decoys. Congrats to @irit_irit @LevyCarmit @LabSagi @MatrxBiomeLab

האוניברסיטה העברית גאה לברך את פרופ' ינון בן-נריה מהפקולטה לרפואה על זכייתו בפרס ישראל בתחום חקר הרפואה, על פועלו בחקר מחלת הסרטן.
ועדת הפרס ציינה בנימוקיה כי "פרופ' בן-נריה הוא חוקר פורץ דרך בתחום חקר מחלת הסרטן, שגילה מנגנונים להתפתחות הסרטן שהובילו ועדיין מובילים ליצירת תרופות לטיפול במחלה. מחקריו של בן נריה התפרסמו בבמות מדעיות ובעיתונות המקצועית הטובה והאיכותית ביותר בעולם".
בין התרומות של פרופ' בן-נריה לחקר הסרטן נמנים זיהוי הגורם המולקולרי הראשון המסביר את הקשר בין דלקת וסרטן, גילוי דלקת סמויה הנפוצה בתאים סרטניים ומזרזת התפתחות סרטן בנוכחות מוטציות סרטניות, ואפיון גנים המשחקים תפקיד מפתח בסרטן המעי הגס.ל

Instead of living a normal student's life, and focusing on her PhD, Nofar is fighting for her brother's return from captivity 💔 #BringThemHomeNow #Hamas_is_ISIS @TelAvivUni

My brilliant PhD student Nufar, whose brother is a hostage in Gaza for over 80 days. Nothing prepared me to being a mentor under such a scenario. How can we even continue research in the lab?? Please help her, help us, spread this heart-breaking humanitarian call.

Noa is also held hostage by the hamas.
I am trying not to think of it because otherwise, I can't breathe.
We must bring the hostages back.
Only international pressure can help.
Soon, it will be too late.

Pro-Israel gatherings in universities (all that I've seen):
- mourning the murdered and calling for the return of the abducted
- NOT calling for any violence
- condemning Hamas terrorism, NOT even mentioning that Hamas was democratically elected in Gaza
Anti-Israel gatherings in many universities:
- calling for violence ("Intifada", e.g., yesterday at MIT)
- calling for genocide ("From the river to the sea", e.g., yesterday at MIT)
- chanting against the US ("Hey hey, ho ho, the United States has got to go", e.g., yesterday at Harvard)
20 Oct 2023
Today @MIT. Make no mistake, “from the river to the sea” is a call for genocide. How are Israeli/Jewish students, staff, and faculty supposed to feel safe on campus? Alongside hate, this rally used the ignorant participants to spread lies also unbecoming of an elite institution.

70 years of IOCB Prague and beyond – a jubilee symposium
This year we celebrate 70 years of @IOCBPrague @CzechAcademy. One of the highlights of this anniversary year was the Jubilee Symposium, a one-day lecture festival covering some of the most historically significant areas of IOCB research and combining them with current cutting-edge science conducted at IOCB and lectures by distinguished guests from abroad. It was a great and unforgettable day...
🎞️ Watch how it went...
