The book on the right was the first academic book I bought, it changed the way I saw Science and changed the direction of my carreer. I look forward to see what the book in the left will bring. Thanks, uri alon.

Tertiary lymphoid structures are similar to germinal centers generated near a tumor with anti-tumor effects. Soon to come from our lab - math modelling of their genesis. This study tracks their formation over time in lung cancer.

CAR T cells to reverse - and even prevent - aging phenotypes!

The CAR Ts target uPAR, which is upregulated in senescent cells. Treated mice see metabolic improvements & better exercise capacity, & this can work prophylactically, too: treat young mice, and the have better glucose

E. coli engineered to become stem cells that differentiate! We prevent take-over by mutant stem cells that only self renew - by linking differentiation to an essential function. A new way to engineer stable microbial communities.

Mourning the loss of Judith Campisi, who defined a major cause of aging- that senescent cells affect the body by secreting inflammatory and anti regenerative signals that she named SASP.
