The findings showed that each additional one-year increase in the gap between biological and chronological age was associated with a 15% increase in the risk of mortality.
The study found that certain forms of economic hardship were associated with a higher risk of death, even after adjusting for traditional medical risks.
Levi had completed nearly all data collection before Oct. 7. After his death, colleagues at Soroka finalized the analysis and manuscript, committing to publish the paper in his name and dedicate it to his memory.
After a missile strike hit Israel’s Soroka Hospital, scientists managed to save five years of research on how the metabolism drives diseases like diabetes, Crohn’s, and cancer -- preserving breakthroughs for future precision medicine.
Their compromised membranes, the study suggests, could be exploited therapeutically, making them susceptible to treatments that would not affect classic dormant persisters.
Thyroid hormones play a central role in fetal brain development, particularly during early stages when the fetus depends entirely on the mother’s hormonal supply.
Children who received active stimulation showed both improved task performance and a measurable reduction in the atypical brain signal compared with those who received sham stimulation.
Researchers involved in HepaModulatoR hope their methods can interrupt the disease's progression by helping cells repair themselves before the damage becomes irreversible.
Inspired by the natural adhesion of marine mollusks, the innovation could soon replace surgical staples and sutures, which often cause additional pain and scarring.
BGN Technologies, Ben-Gurion University’s commercialization arm, plans to collaborate with international partners to translate these findings into innovative treatments for millions worldwide.
The model offers more accurate, community-specific assessments that have the potential to better guide genetic experts and physicians worldwide as they counsel their patients.
This discovery not only highlights the potential of marine ecosystems, such as the Red Sea coral reefs, but also paves the way for new, nature-based treatments in global medicine.
'This is the first time a scientific article explicitly discusses the possibility of curing multiple myeloma. These are patients who previously had almost no remaining treatment options.'
This discovery could reshape pain treatment, as AM404 targets pain pathways without the muscle weakness and numbness caused by traditional local anesthetics.
Nearly 60% of participants had sodium levels falling within the risk-associated range, underscoring how widespread the issue may be even among healthy populations.
The study examined three feeding patterns: exclusive breastfeeding (39% of participants), combined breastfeeding and formula (49%), and formula only (12%).
The scientists said some of these newly discovered cells appear to regulate inflammation, blood vessel formation, extracellular protein deposition, and fibrosis.
