🎉 Excited to share our new paper in Immunity! Can a tissue remember inflammation after the inflammation itself is gone? We find that it can—and that this memory can be stored in an unexpected place: the extracellular matrix (ECM). 🧵👇 cell.com/immunity/abstract/S…

🚨🚨 When we take antibiotics we assume they'll kill the bad bugs but won't affect us directly. In our new story @NatureMicrobiol , we found that's not always the case and developed a tool, CompoRes, to identify these direct effects on the host /1 nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.” More to follow.

Humans are far more prone to degenerative skeletal diseases than other apes. Our new @Nature paper uncovers the genetic changes that shaped our skeleton and uncovers a major clue to why it is so vulnerable to degeneration.🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Please help us welcome our new faculty member Dr. Shai Bel! The Bel lab uses state-of-the-art mouse models, combined with high resolution microscopy and molecular biology to understand how the intestine functions. mmi.wisc.edu/meet-our-resear…

🚨🚨 THE MUCUS IS COMING TO AMERICA!! I'm excited to announce that I will be joining the wonderful @UWMadisonMMI to keep exploring the wonders of mucus! This would not have been possible without @VanessaSperand2 @markjmandel, Federico Rey, JD Sauer and many more at MMI.

Excited to share our new paper in @NatureGenet! Using spatial transcriptomics and proteomics, we uncover two tumor-wide modes of partial EMT (p-EMT) in head and neck cancer, at the tumor edge or core, with distinct microenvironmental drivers. 🧵 (1/14) nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Nobel Prize winner Ada Yonath sadly passed away today. She was a legend for her pioneering work on figuring out the structure of ribosomes. “Focus on what you love to do, what you want to know, first of all, or what you want to achieve, or what you want to do. If you want to be a performer, a dancer, it's okay with me, as long as this is really built in, and you can do it well. Courage is very important, but for science, curiosity is not enough, it should come with the courage. Really wish to understand something. If there is no wish like this, and they ask me where will I get the best salary, or I become more famous, or then I have no answer for that.”

Very excited to share our new paper in @CellReports - the first Adler Lab in-house paper! 🎉 Led by @SYonassi, @noaGoldenber & @AviaWalfisch, together with @Eitan42Cohen, @Einat_Tamar & @XuZhouLab. We ask how supportive cells coordinate division of labor across tissues. 🧵

And it truly took a village 🌍—this work would not have been possible without our fantastic collaborators from Israel and around the world!

The question this work leaves me thinking about: How much of a tissue’s history is stored outside its cells—and how do stem cells react to it? Very proud of this team and grateful to everyone who made this work possible! 🙏 #Immunity #StemCells #IBD #ECM #Regeneration

Weizmann Institute researchers discover that transient intestinal inflammation can leave irreversible changes in the gut lining, leading to Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The findings point to new directions for treatment and early detection >> bit.ly/gut-remembers-en @irit_irit @bitonm

📢We are excited to share our latest bioRxiv preprint from the Biton Lab! We identify CD45 as a tuft cell–intrinsic negative regulator of intestinal type 2 immunity We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback! 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/2026.07.24.… #bioRxiv #MucosalImmunity #TuftCells

Check out our new study in @CMGH_journal from @HUJImed @IMRIC_HUJi we map Foxl1-lineage subepithelial telocytes along the intestinal crypt-villus axis and resolve four spatially distinct subtypes (crypt, villus-base, villus-mid, villus-tip). cmghjournal.org/article/S235…

🧬 What if the immune system could remember cancer the way it remembers a vaccine? In @CellPressNews’ Immunity, researchers from @ZivShulman’s lab at @WeizmannScience discovered memory B cells that can recognize ovarian tumours and produce targeted antibodies. #CancerResearch
