The project combines Israel's advanced immunotherapy technologies with American experience in clinical research.
ReadIn Israel, Foundations for a New Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer Have Been Laid
Israeli scientists have made a discovery that could serve as the basis for a new approach to treating pancreatic tumours. They discovered that a tiny molecule, PJ 34, effectively deals with cancer cells by prompting them to initiate a self-destruction process. A recent study in which researchers tested the promising compound on mice showed that its use allows for the elimination of up to 90% of pancreatic cancer cells while being safe for healthy cells. The team of researchers from the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, led by Professor Malki Cohen-Armon, conducted an experiment using xenografts (the term for tissue or organs transplanted from one species to another). They implanted human pancreatic cancer cells under the skin of laboratory rodents. At the same time, specialists weakened the animals' immune systems so that their bodies would not reject the transplanted cells.
ReadFracture Healing Can Be Accelerated by a Combination of Two Drugs
A combination of two drugs, already approved and used for other indications, can stimulate the release of a special type of stem cells from the bone marrow that have regenerative potential, thereby accelerating the healing of broken bones. These are the conclusions of a recent study, the results of which were presented in the journal npj Regenerative Medicine.

ReadScientists Propose a New Way to Combat Metastases
Localized tumours are considered relatively harmless – they are easily treatable and often do not recur. However, most cancerous formations tend to metastasize, meaning they have the ability to spread throughout the body via the bloodstream or lymphatic system. By forming secondary foci in the bones, lungs, liver, brain, and other organs, they become life-threatening.
