Technion scientists are deciphering a mechanism that integrates all the stages of the mRNA lifecycle into a unified system Researchers from the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion have uncovered a mechanism that coordinates the multi-stage process of gene expression: i.e., translating the information stored in the DNA into proteins. The study, published in… Read More

A team of Technion researchers has presented new findings relating to the gradual deterioration of the body’s protein quality control system during aging. The study, which was published in PNAS – a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary scientific journal published by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America – was headed by Assistant Professor… Read More

50New technology developed by the Technion and Embryonics is expected to dramatically improve IVF success rates. The article is published on the 43rd anniversary of the first IVF procedure Forty-three years ago, on November 10, 1977, an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure in humans was undertaken for the first time in history. Eight and a half… Read More
