“I really don’t know why it wasn’t done yet, because the benefits for medical science are very significant,” Prof. Benjamin Reubinoff of the Hadassah Medical Center told The Times of Israel's Nathan Jeffay.

Reubinoff, who led the research together with Dr. Ithai W., said that the stem cells he derived could open up a new approach to investigating illnesses and #medical #treatments.

Rehovot-based Gadfin Aero-Logistics Systems recently inked an exclusive five-year partnership agreement with Sarel, the country’s biggest medical purchasing and logistics company, to create the first aerial drone grid that delivers urgent #medical supplies to Israeli #hospitals within 200 kilometers.

Israeli scientists produced prototypes of a small battery-powered device that fits onto a baseball cap and emits air that blows downwards in front of the face at 30 kilometers per hour (19 mph).

“We tried to quantify how many droplets still reached the face, and found that the ‘air screen’ gives high protection which is comparable to that of masks,” Moshe Shoham, professor at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and co-lead of the study, told The Times of Israel.

Joonko is building a network of vetted candidates with an emphasis on job-seekers from underrepresented communities, reports Shoshanna Solomon.

Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center says it has used an under-trial artificial intelligence technology by Israeli startup Imagene AI to give patients immediate results for a deep-dive report on their tumor’s DNA — eliminating days of waiting to get treatment for their brain cancer.

“We are so used to waiting a long time for molecular cancer testing while patients deteriorate, that such a breakthrough technology, enabling treatment initiation within a day is exceptional,” said Prof. Ido Wolf, director of the Oncology Department at Sourasky.

Imagene AI founders are Dean Bitan, Jonathan Zalach, and Shahar Porat.
