A study reveals that the structure of milk fat globules, rather than their chemical composition, plays a key role in their interactions with bacteria. Small globules promote the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bacillus subtilis, while larger ones trigger biofilm formation, a behavior linked to bacterial adaptation. These findings demonstrate milk’s natural protective mechanisms and highlight its potential to support gut health, offering significant implications for dairy science and nutrition.
A new study has uncovered a surprising link between Alzheimer’s disease and Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1). Researchers found HSV-1 proteins embedded in Alzheimer’s brains, revealing how the virus is inhibited by tau protein—a key player in the disease. These insights could pave the way for innovative treatments targeting viral activity and the brain’s immune response to slow or even stop Alzheimer’s progression.
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem held a rally at its Mount Scopus campus, urging for the immediate release of 100 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
Yesterday, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem paused its activities to hold a rally at the Mount Scopus campus, demanding the immediate release of the 100 hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Among the speakers was Prof. Jonathan Dekel-Chen, whose son Sagui, a 36-year-old father of three young daughters, has been held captive for over 450 days.
