What once was seen as an incurable disease has been given a 90% remission rate in initial treatment trials.
Multiple myeloma is a bone marrow cancer with a historic prognosis of only two years. That is until a CAR T treatment was developed to target the cancerous mutations that make it so deadly. While this specific use of CAR T treatment is making new headlines, it builds upon the decades-old discovery made by Prof. Zelig Eshhar at our very own Weizmann Institute of Science.

Apr 30, 2024... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—April 30, 2024—Jerusalem has been inhabited continuously for thousands of years, serving as both a center of religious significance and a seat of power for kingdoms, yet despite the vast number of historical texts about the city, there are still gaps in its absolute chronology. Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in collaboration with a team of archaeologists from the City of David archaeological site in Jerusalem, Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University, have now managed to put together a detailed chronology of Iron Age Jerusalem, when the city would have served as the capital of the biblical Kingdom of Judah. The findings of this study are being published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA (PNAS).
