The Hebrew University of Jerusalem proudly extends its heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Yinon Ben-Neriah of the Faculty of Medicine on being awarded the prestigious Israel Prize for his groundbreaking contributions to cancer research.
A new study led by Dr. Hilla Chen from the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine at Hebrew University, recently published in Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, offers new hope for the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in dogs. The research highlights the potential benefits of paricalcitol, a second-generation vitamin D analog, in addressing renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (RHPT) and proteinuria—two critical complications of CKD.
The Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) is pleased to announce its partnership with Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) on a project led by Joel Yisraeli, PhD, and his lab in the Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer Research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The ICRF-LCRF Project Grant is a three-year, $180,000 award.
A three-year CBT and CPT training program led by Hebrew University and the Israeli Ministry of Health has successfully equipped over 100 public health clinicians with evidence-based tools to treat individuals with serious mental health conditions and trauma survivors. This milestone enhances mental health accessibility and builds a sustainable framework for effective mental healthcare across Israel.
Researchers have uncovered how egg cells prepare for the creation of life. Their work reveals the secrets of the Balbiani body, a remarkable structure that organizes essential molecules to guide early embryonic development. Using zebrafish models and cutting-edge imaging, the team discovered how this structure transforms from liquid droplets into a stable core, laying the groundwork for life itself. This discovery sheds light on the extraordinary precision of nature’s reproductive process.
