Brain Cells of Males and Females Respond Differently to Chronic Stress
Brain Cells of Males and Females Respond Differently to Chronic Stress

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/brain-cells-of-males-and-females-respond-differently-to-chronic-stress/

Aug 02, 2023... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—August 2, 2023—Scientific excellence requires diversity – research conducted by people from different backgrounds and with varied worldviews. The need for diversity extends to scientific experiments themselves, but the vast majority of studies in the life sciences are conducted using male mice only, which could not only bias the findings, but impede our ability to extrapolate from them to humans. A new study by researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science addresses this challenge, revealing in unprecedented detail how the brains of male and female mice respond differently to stress.

A Select Group: Study May Bring Improved Therapy to Preselected Lung Cancer Patients

Aug 07, 2023... REHOVOT, ISRAEL — August 8, 2023—Nonsmokers who develop lung cancer can be treated effectively with new drugs, but their tumors refuse to surrender without a fight. The drugs stop working in the long term because the tumors acquire secondary mutations that allow them to evade the medications’ therapeutic effect.
In research published today in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, investigators from the Weizmann Institute of Science report findings that may lead to relapse-free treatment for a sizeable subgroup of lung cancer patients. In a study in mice, scientists identified a biomarker that may help physicians treat select lung cancer patients with a single antibody-based drug that is likely to bring about full remission, without cancer relapse.
