We have now learnt that the international court in Haag considers prosecuting Hamas for crimes against humanity. Really? Now with just circumstantial evidence? How much cynicism could be there? Hamas should be executed, eliminated, not prosecuted. Hamas is ISIS

Proud to share the issue in Philosophical transactions B on mitochondrial evolution that I had the honor to co-edit with Madeleine Beekman, Duur Aanen and Vankatesh Radha. Great collaboration! royalsocietypublishing.org/r…

The Mishmar lab rocks at Ilanit conference of Israel! I am proud of Naomi, Dana, Darla, Gavriel and Noam

Hypoxia affects mitochondrial activities. Noam Shtolz, my PhD student, found an overlooked prevalent impact on mitochondria-nucleus regulatory coordination across human cell lines, along with a unique transcriptional signature. Interesting? Please read: nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Hadar Medini graduated at the Mishmar lab and is off to postdoctoral training in Patrick Chinnery's lab Cambridge MRC. GOOD LUCK Dr. Medini! I am very proud of you!

.@bengurionu's Prof. Ehud Ohana and PhD candidate Noa Yehoshua didn't let their lab being destroyed by an Iranian missile attack deter them from their mission of solving the world's biggest challenges. Their recent discovery is life-changing, leading the way for new treatments for diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease, and even cancer. As Prof. Ehud Ohana shares, “We see science as a mission—not just as a national mission for us here in Israel, but as a contribution to humanity.” Learn more about this remarkable breakthrough below and hear Prof. Ehud Ohana and Noa Yehoshua's story here: americansforbgu.org/video/la…

Excited to share our new paper on @ScienceAdvances! We show that myo-inositol boosts mitochondrial fat oxidation in #hummingbirds, reducing fat storage and shifting glucose metabolism. A new glimpse into how these tiny athletes manage energy. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

איפה הצלב האדום?! @RedCross where the f*ck are you?!

"While I lost 37 kilos (81.5 pounds), my captors gained weight." Captivity survivor Omer Wenkert responds to the painful heart wrenching video of Evyatar David starving in Hamas' captivity. We must demand the immediate release of Evyatar and ALL the hostages held captive in Gaza. #UntilTheLastHostage #BringThemHomeNow

People said Eli Sharabi looked like an Auschwitz survivor when he was freed on day 491 of the October 7 Hostage Crisis. Now it’s day 666 and Evyatar David looks even worse!!!

It is importent to remember that science will not stop.

This is my once and future mentor

The Mishmar Lab - having great time at the Department of Life Sciences Retreat, March 2025

It took awhile, but Hadar Medini's paper is out in Genome Research, and it made the cover of the March issue! genome.cshlp.org/content/ear… Hadar - KUDOS! Learn more about the importance of mito-nuclear co-regulation across evolution during the course of development.

Tomorrow the Genetics Society of Israel @GSI_GenSocIsr will hold its annual meeting at the Hebrew University. LAT DAY TO REGISTER: genetics-il.net/school-event…

The Mishmar lab is celebrating 20 years of Science. We gathered former and current members, visited Tel Beer-Sheva. I am privileged to guide all these people through their scientific path!

On February 6th 2025 the @GSI_GenSocIsr (Genetics Society of Israel) will hold its annual meeting, Hebrew University, Jerusalem. The talks were already invited but there is plenty of room for poster presentations: genetics-il-event.forms-wiza… YOU ARE ALL INVITED!!

Guess what? Mitochondria are weirder than we thought
