Method for Isolating Oral Mucosa-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Tissue and Organ Regeneration
Identification and isolation of the mesenchymal stem cells from the general population of oral mucosa-derived cells may further improve regenerative therapies. Using cutting edge technology, we’ve been able to identify the subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells with superior osteogenic capacity and furthermore, to unveil a list of unique markers to isolate these cells. Our findings […] Read More >
Stabilizing Gelatin-Based Bioinks under Physiological Conditions by Incorporation of Ethylene-Glycol-Conjugated Fmoc-Ff Peptides
Peptide-based bioinks that stabilize gelatin-based 3D printed scaffolds under physiological conditions. UNMET NEEDGelatin is one of the most widely-used materials for the fabrication of 3D scaffolds. In order to fabricate stable scaffolds under physiological conditions, gelatin need to be methacrylated, allowing the crosslinking and therefore the stabilization of the hydrogel through UV treatment. However, the […] Read More >

Prof. Hershkovitz Israel
Research Areas include: Biohistory: The social and biological impact the transition from foraging and hunting to farming had on human populations. Although a rapid event in human evolution, the ‘agriculuture revolution’ was the most significant cultural process in human history, something that forever changed the face of humanity (culturally and biologically). Unlike many other paleoanthropological studies, […] Read More >
Prof. Jonathan Leor
Professor Leor received an M.D. degree from Tel-Aviv University, continued training in cardiovascular medicine at the Sheba Medical Center, and completed his post doctorate training at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, under Robert A. Kloner, M.D., Ph.D. Today, his laboratory’s research focuses on infarct repair and the heart’s lack of intrinsic regenerative ability. […] Read More >
Histopathological evaluation of hard tissues and biomedical devices in their tissue implantation surrounding, using a Plastic Embedding Technique
Plastic embedding is a method that allows histological examination of soft and hard tissues (e.g., blood vessels, bones, teeth, joints and skin tissue), containing solid medical devices of different sizes and made of various materials. In addition to the standard histological observations, such as necrosis, inflammation and fibrosis, this technique provides reliable data on size […] Read More >
