Researchers have found that environmental elements during the first year of one's life (including nutrition and health status, family structure, and economic and emotional factors) play a key role in determining one's growth and final adult height.
Silicon nanomaterials used for localized delivery of chemotherapy drugs behave differently in cancerous tumors than in healthy tissues. The new findings could help scientists improve materials for the controlled release of the chemotherapy drugs.
Imagine a smartphone that not only finds the nearest five-star restaurant or hails a cab with a quick click, but also diagnoses illness. New technology from Israel's Technion would enable smartphones to screen their users' breath for life-threatening diseases.
While nanotechnology has led to countless advancements, a group of Israeli researchers are now raising a flag of caution about its effects on our health. They say exposure to tiny silica-based particles can play a big role in increasing heart attack and stroke risks.
Researchers have developed a method for spying on the activity of every gene within a cell at once. The breakthrough allows them to determine the order in which the three layers of cells in animal embryos evolved. Other applications include cancer research.
Researchers at the Technion say a protein found in both the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) - which causes AIDS in cats - and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) might inspire new anti-HIV drugs.
A team of scientists in Israel and Germany have created robots that are only nanometers in length, small enough to maneuver inside the human body and possibly inside human cells.
Researchers shed new light on key mechanism in accumulation of protein plaques in Alzheimer’s disease patients; could open new avenues for developing a cure for Alzheimer's disease, which affects 5.2 million in the U.S. alone.
Technion researchers have developed an underwater imaging system that allows submariners to view objects above the water's surface - without a periscope.

A biomedical engineering breakthrough could speed soft tissue injury recovery and limit disfigurement from radical cancer surgeries. It could circumvent the need to harvest and transfer large amounts of tissue, avoiding many current complications.
A PhD student at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has created free software that makes detection of genetic components of disease faster and easier; could help speed up genetic discoveries.
Scientists might be on the verge of finally understanding how ultrasound affects nerve cells. The breakthrough could lead the way to important new medical advances, including the noninvasive treatment of epileptic seizures and restoration of sight.
Technion scientists have moved a step closer to creating custom medical treatment plans based on a patient's DNA, pinpointing the root of a patient's illness and making sure treatment will not cause a fatal allergic reaction.
Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have made a breakthrough that could lead to radical changes in the design and effectiveness of inhalation masks for infants.
Using tiny gold particles and the kind of plastic found in soda bottles, scientists have created a sensor that could be integrated into artificial skin that can sense humidity, temperature and touch. Scientists hope some day to attach the e-skin to prostheses.
Using only biomolecules, Israeli scientists have developed and constructed an advanced biological transducer, a computing machine capable of manipulating genetic codes, and using the output as new input for subsequent computations.
Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy to examine crystals from the bodies of small marine organisms called sea squirts, scientists have solved the mystery of the crystal structure of the mineral called vaterite.
Technion researchers have developed and successfully demonstrated a photonic Floquet topological insulator, a new device used to protect the transport of light through a unique, lattice of ‘waveguides.’ This could play a key role in the photonics industry.
Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology are testing the power of holography to artificially stimulate cells in the eye, with hopes of developing a new strategy for bionic vision restoration.
Researchers at the Technion have found that heart attack patients with breathing disorders such as sleep apnea may benefit from mild-moderate sleep-disordered breathing. The findings could suggest ways to rebuild damaged heart tissue.
