A New Approach to Tailoring Cancer Therapy: Tapping Into Signaling Activities in Cancer Cells
A New Approach to Tailoring Cancer Therapy: Tapping Into Signaling Activities in Cancer Cells

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/a-new-approach-to-tailoring-cancer-therapy-tapping-into-signaling-activities-in-cancer-cells/

Jul 16, 2020... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—July 16, 2020—Choosing the right drug for each cancer patient is key to successful treatment, but physicians currently have few reliable pointers to guide them in designing treatment protocols. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have now developed a new method for selecting the best drug therapy for a given tumor, based on assigning scores to the cells’ internal messaging activities. In addition to helping physicians choose from a list of existing treatments, the method can help identify new molecular targets for the development of future drugs. In fact, the researchers have already used it to single out a gene that can be targeted for effectively treating breast cancers with a BRCA mutation. The study was recently published in Nature Communications.

Internal Differences: A New Method for Seeing Into Cells

Aug 10, 2020... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—August 10, 2020—Invading cells’ private space – prying into their internal functions, decisions, and communications – could be a powerful tool that may help researchers develop new immunotherapy treatments for cancer. As reported in Cell, a research group at the Weizmann Institute of Science have developed a technology enabling them to see inside tens of thousands of individual cells, at once, in greater detail than ever before.

How the Weizmann Institute is Fighting Blood Cancer
How the Weizmann Institute is Fighting Blood Cancer

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/feature-stories/how-the-weizmann-institute-is-fighting-blood-cancer/

Sep 04, 2020... Blood cancers are far too common, comprising almost 10% of new cancer diagnoses each year in the U.S. Almost every 10 minutes, an American succumbs to a blood cancer. Unfortunately, many of these are children.
That's why the Weizmann Institute of Science’s researchers are conducting innovative studies and taking novel approaches to blood cancers. September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and we’d like to share with you some of Weizmann’s current investigations.

Aug 14, 2020... A research group headed by Professor Ido Amit has developed new technology that enables them to look at the internal functions of cells.
This could be a powerful tool in the development of new immunotherapy treatments for cancer, according to the Weizmann Institute.
The new technique, called INs-seq (intracellular staining and sequencing) enables scientists to measure proteins, processes and biochemical pathways occurring inside cells.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/feature-stories/october-is-national-breast-cancer-awareness-month-2/

Oct 06, 2020... October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time that is typically packed with runs, walks, and other events. While this year is different due to the coronavirus, stepping up to support and advance the science is as important as ever.
Breast cancer research is actively underway at the Weizmann Institute of Science, with researchers applying their formidable skills to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of this still-too-common disease. Working in collaboration with oncologists and other medical professionals around the world, Institute scientists are continually making groundbreaking progress, demonstrating the role that curiosity-driven, interdisciplinary science plays in the battle against breast cancer. Just a few of the innovative projects taking place right now include:

Uncovering the Anti-Myeloma Resistance Files
Uncovering the Anti-Myeloma Resistance Files

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/uncovering-the-anti-myeloma-resistance-files/

Feb 23, 2021... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—February 23, 2021—Multiple myeloma patients live much longer today than in the past, thanks to new targeted anti-myeloma drugs, but ultimately most people develop resistance to the medications, and in some the disease is resistant to therapy from the start. Weizmann Institute of Science researchers, in collaboration with physicians from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (TASMC), have made use of extremely sensitive genomic technology to reveal genetic pathways that characterize some of the more resistant cases of multiple myeloma. Their study, reported in Nature Medicine, may lead to a more informed, personalized treatment for these patients, and paves the way for using this new technology to discover disease targets in other cancers.

Feb 28, 2021... Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center have found 30 genes that seem to be responsible for the resistance that multiple myeloma shows to treatment, which may help lead to more informed, personalized treatment for patients.
Malignant myeloma is a cancer of the antibody-producing plasma cells in bone marrow. Most patients develop resistance to medications and in some, the cancer is resistant to therapy from the start.

Tracking Multiple Genes with Flying Colors
Tracking Multiple Genes with Flying Colors

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/tracking-multiple-genes-with-flying-colors/

Jan 31, 2022... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—January 31, 2022—Even fans of black-and-white film can’t deny that color brought new life to photography and motion pictures. And when it comes to learning what happens inside the body, there’s no substitute for color.
Were it possible, for example, to map out real-time gene expression in our body’s cells using contrasting colors, scientists would gain a glimpse of vital biological processes that are currently invisible. The problem is that the glowing multicolor proteins used by scientists to illuminate, so to speak, the inner workings of cells are of little help in observing deep-seated processes in the body, because the thickness of tissues obscures the glow.
