🧬 For decades, scientists believed the brain was a completely sterile world, but a new study shows otherwise!

In research published in Nature Portfolio, scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science, together with teams at Rabin Medical Center - Medical Tourism in Israel and Rambam Health Care Campus - Hospital, discovered that brain tumours contain diverse communities of bacteria. These microbes were found inside cancer cells and nearby immune cells across more than 300 tumour samples.

The team, led by Prof. Ravid Straussman, found that different kinds of brain tumours carry different mixes of bacteria and that these microbes may influence how cancer behaves. Some types of bacteria seemed to help tumours grow or spread, while others affected how well treatments worked.

Together, these findings reveal a hidden world inside the brain and could one day guide more precise ways to diagnose or treat brain cancer.

💧 Can rocks at the bottom of the ocean tell the story of life on Earth?

The Davidson Institute of Science Education, the educational arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science, highlights new research revealing how traces of ancient carbon, preserved in oceanic rocks for more than one billion years, are helping scientists piece together Earth’s carbon history.

Published in Nature, the study analyzed ancient rock samples that once formed on the ocean floor. By examining the carbon trapped inside them, researchers were able to trace how carbon levels in the oceans rose and fell over geological time showing dramatic shifts that coincided with the rise of complex life and changes in oxygen.

The findings offer insight into how our planet’s chemistry, climate, and living systems have evolved together.

On October 2nd I had the honour of delivering a presentation on Phenol Peels at Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Phenol Croton Oil peels are the most effective modality for skin resurfacing. It's a highly individualized treatment which has been overshadowed by ease of use and learning of lasers, which offer shorter recovery time but with considerably less impact in the results. The phenol peel is not only a means of facial rejuvenation, but also reversing sun damage and cellular senescence, which are also directly impactful to overall health.

Continuous learning keeps us at the cutting edge, where science, artistry and innovation meet

🧠👶 Why do boys and girls respond differently to emotional stress, even in infancy?

In a new Weizmann Institute of Science study, researchers used a light-sensitive protein to temporarily silence specific brain cells in mouse pups, revealing how oxytocin, often called the “love hormone,” shapes early bonding and emotional response.

When separated from their mothers, pups with an active oxytocin system adapted more easily and showed stronger social signals when reunited. In contrast, pups with silenced oxytocin remained distressed, and female pups showed more pronounced social responses than males, pointing to emotional differences that emerge long before puberty.

Published in Science, the findings could offer new insight into the early roots of disorders like autism.

Wow - how cool is this?! The imaging can actually look at individual proteins - which is amazing on it's own. Identifying such a specific structure that is a potential target for p53 is a potential game-changer for cancer.

A new cellular mechanism for identifying unraveled proteins may serve as a target for cancer therapies
