One of the diseases resulting from such mutations in the PHOX2B gene is the disease CCHS. This is a rare and life-threatening syndrome in which babies, children and adults stop breathing as soon as they fall asleep. The patients must be connected to ventilators in order not to die in their sleep

The researchers behind the new study were able to create baby mice with genetic material from two males without any genetic changes. They achieved this by using stem cells to create primordial germ cells (PGCs), which differentiate into sperm and egg.

Stem cells derived from the placenta are able to reach damaged tissues in the brains of drug addicts and initiate a rehabilitation process in them. The innovative treatment may solve one of the most difficult challenges in the field of detoxification: the difficulty of addicts to detach from the memory that brings them back again and again to the drug

The joint company will leverage the cell growth technology developed with investments of approximately 500 million dollars in Pluristem * This is a technological platform that supports the development and production of a variety of cell-based products from different sources, such as: beef, chicken, fish and milk. In the first phase, the venture between Tnuva and Pluristem will develop cultured meat products

For seven years, through trial and error, fine-tuning and repeated tests, in the laboratory of Prof. Hana, who specializes in embryonic stem cells, they developed a two-stage method that makes it possible to grow normal mouse embryos outside the womb from the initial stages of pregnancy in order to study the different stages of development of the embryo, Something that was not possible in mammals until now
