Israel Active

Technion and top US university researchers have conducted lab trials of an implantable 'living pancreas'. It senses glucose, produces insulin, while its crystalline shield prevents immune system rejection. It paves the way for self-regulating, long-term diabetes treatment without daily injections.

Israel’s AccuLine (see previously) conducted a trial of its CORA non-invasive coronary artery test on 305 heart patients. It was 94% correct in predicting blockages and 99% correct in giving the all-clear. Easier, faster, cheaper or more accurate than angiographs, imaging or stress tests.

A breakthrough controlled study by Tel Aviv University, Technion, and Tel Aviv Medical Center (Ichilov) used fMRI neurofeedback technology to stimulate the brain’s reward system. It increased the antibodies produced from subsequent vaccinations, compared to those not stimulated.

Researchers at Israel’s Weizmann Institute have identified that caspases enzymes allow severely damaged tissue to regenerate after widespread destruction. The findings can help treat burns victims, but could also help stop cancer cells from recovering after chemotherapy.  

541 physicians made Aliyah in 2025 through the International Medical Aliyah Program – over 1,000 in the past two years, during a time of war. The National Conference for Immigrant Physicians in Israel aims to accelerate their integration into Israel’s healthcare system.  

NGO Early Starters International Israel has created a therapeutic space, in the northern Israel town of Shlomi, for children recovering from trauma. The space integrates all five senses - sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste - to create an environment of safety, calm, and predictability.  

Hebrew University scientists in 2025 invented adhesive that bonds to almost anything, yet is released by a microwave oven. Also created hundreds of novel antibacterial entities that bacteria have never encountered. And combined theobromine and arainosine to stop deadly flu in its tracks.

Nachi Natan at Israel’s Weizmann Institute has developed Navigut - genetically engineered bacteria that sends a signal in urine tests if it detects gut inflammation. His colleague Ofir Bar’s Wellnitor is a wearable patch designed to monitor stress levels that may predict disease activity.
