🔥 The same biology that helps tissue heal may also help cancer survive.

In a study published in Nature Communications (Nature Portfolio), researchers from Prof. Eli Arama’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science solved a 50-year mystery of how tissue repairs itself after injury. Certain cells activate enzymes that should cause them to die but instead survive and help damaged tissue regenerate.

While this resilience supports healing, it may also help explain why some cancers return after radiation therapy and become even harder to treat.

As we enter 2026, I invite you to think about how you want to face the world this year—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

December was a deeply inspiring month. I spent time at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, attending both a roundtable of longevity clinics and the Global Longevity Summit with Dr. Ron Somogyi

🧬 What if the mutations that make cancer resistant to treatment could be its weak point?

In a study published in Cancer Discovery (American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)), Prof. Yardena Samuels’ lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science found that therapy-resistant mutations in metastatic prostate cancer could be used as targets for new immunotherapies.

The team, led by Dr. Shira Sagie and Dr. Nofar Gumpert, identified three neo-antigens, small markers created by these mutations. They showed these neo-antigens could help the immune system recognize and attack tumours that stop responding to standard treatments.

This work points to a new way to treat resistant cancers, offering therapies that could help larger groups of patients, not just individual cases.

This is cool. Prepared for next pandemic!

As described in Nature Nanotechnology (Nature), Prof. Roy Bar-Ziv and his team at the Weizmann Institute of Science have developed a cell-free biochip that can quickly produce viral proteins and test how antibodies interact with them. Unlike standard methods, it doesn’t require growing or purifying proteins and can measure dozens of antibody responses at once from less than a drop of serum.

Tested during COVID-19, the chip revealed unique immune "fingerprints" for each person, showing which variants their antibodies recognized. Some responses were even missed by conventional tests. Looking ahead, the platform could be used to study other viruses, screen treatments, and speed up AI-designed antibodies, offering a real-time tool for pandemic preparedness.

Very excited to win this original watercolour painted by my friend and mentor, Dr. John Semple. (this was a charity raffle that Dr. Semple ran to raise funds for Movember)

The image of surgeons around an OR table was used as the cover of a major plastic surgery textbook. It's an honor to be the steward of such a beautiful and significant piece of art.

🌟 Congratulations to Prof. Yifat Merbl of the Weizmann Institute of Science, who has been named to Nature’s top 10 list of scientists whose work shaped science in 2025.

Her lab uncovered a new layer of the immune system hidden in the cell’s proteasome, the machinery cells use to recycle proteins. They found it produces peptides that can kill bacteria, revealing a previously hidden first line of defence that protects the body even before the immune system fully reacts.

This discovery not only changes how we understand immunity; it points to new ways to fight antibiotic-resistant infections and support people with weakened immune systems.

It also highlights the power of curiosity-driven research to lead to unexpected, world-changing breakthroughs.

At the Buck Institute for Research on Aging Conference, I had the opportunity to speak with Kai Herdin of Nadmed Ltd — a company offering the only CE-marked assay capable of measuring all forms of NAD (NAD⁺, NADH, NADP⁺, NADPH) and glutathione directly from blood or tissue. Their test provides a powerful way to track shifts in NAD⁺/NADH balance under oxidative stress — a practical tool for exploring the ideas behind my article on the NAD–NO–SOD axis.

Great to see my friend and founding president of the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society, Dr. Andrea B. Maier.

Some microbes live in places hotter than boiling water. This new research uncovers how.

In a study published in Cell Press, two teams at the Weizmann Institute of Science investigated micro-organisms that thrive in volcanic craters and other extreme-heat environments. Their focus was how these organisms keep the ribosome, the cell’s protein-making machine, working at such extreme temperatures.

Prof. Schraga Schwartz’s group developed a method that reveals many types of RNA modifications at once. They found that the micro-organisms carry far more of these chemical changes than species living in moderate conditions and that the number of modifications increases as temperatures rise.

To see how these changes affect the ribosome, the team partnered with Prof. Moran Shalev-Benami’s lab, which used a high-resolution imaging technique to map the ribosome’s structure. The images showed that these modifications help strengthen and stabilize the ribosome so it can keep working in extreme heat.

🔥These findings reveal a clever survival strategy and could guide the development of more reliable RNA-based technologies.

NAD, NO and SOD all relate to oxidative stress. The SOD function protects the NAD, and NO, so both can carry out their necessary function. In this way, taking GliSODin France supports taking NAD supplements.

Protection of NO is a mechanistic explanation of how GliSODin helps with erectile dysfunction.
