Breakthrough Cancer Research from Technion Professor Yehuda Assaraf

 

Professor Yehuda G. Assaraf of the Technion Faculty of Biology is the head of the Fred Wyszkowski Cancer Research Laboratory. His primary area of research focuses on deciphering the mechanisms (i.e. genes and proteins) responsible for cancer cells' resistance to anticancer drugs -- the main obstacle to curing cancer. His research could pave the way for designing novel strategies to combat drug-resistant tumors, and lead to tailor-made chemotherapy treatment.

Intercellular Nanotubes Mediate Bacterial Communication

 

 

Dubey and Sigal Ben-Yehuda discuss their study in this video. Bacteria are known to communicate primarily via the production and secret of extracellular signaling molecules. We identify a previously uncharacterized type of bacterial communication mediated by nanotubes that bridge neighboring cells. Via these tubes bacteria are able to exchange small molecules, proteins and even small genetic elements (known as plasmids). This mechanism can facilitate the acquisition of new features such as antibiotic resistance and therefore may have important medical implications.

"Expert on the Spot: Gene Regulation and Cancer"

 

Our genetic information contains an "instruction booklet" of how to make up all the components in our body. But when these instructions are interpreted the wrong way—or gene regulation goes awry—it can cause many diseases, including cancer.



In this month's Expert on the Spot, Prof. Chaim Cedar, of the Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer Research at the Faculty of Medicine of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem invites you to ask questions about the role of gene regulation in cancer. Dr. Cedar will answer your questions in a follow-up video that will be posted.
