Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more deaths than all types of cancer combined? The impact it has on our society and healthcare system is staggering, with costs in the US alone reaching over $230 billion per year.

It's no secret that plants carry unique properties, for centuries plants have been used for a range of applications, including food, drugs and cosmetics.

But did you know that the benefits of plants can now be used without any interference to the plant itself?

The team led by Professor. Asaph Aharoni, from the Weizmann Institute of Science, has developed a method of inducing metabolite production in plants and extracting them without any harm being done.

Innovative biosynthesis technology company, Xinteza API, recently made a breakthrough discovery of a novel, non-cannabis plant-derived production system, capable of highly efficient and flawless end-to-end cannabinoid synthesis. This discovery is a major milestone in the path to uncover and exploit rare and new cannabinoid molecules with potentially novel pharmacological activities.

Xinteza is a spinoff company of Yeda, while leading the research is Professor Asaph Aharoni from the Weizmann Institute of Science.

The Kimchi Lab studies programmed cell death (PCD), an intricate molecular network governing a cell's decision to live or die. The lab aims to uncover new PCD targets and ultimately identify points of vulnerability in human disease amenable to therapeutic intervention.

Yes, you read that correctly, bugs.

With the world facing an unprecedented food crisis, the food-tech space has taken an interest in using bugs as an alternative source of protein. Bugs not only offer high nutritional value, they also produce fewer greenhouse gasses, emit less ammonia than farm animals and take up less space, water, and land than traditional sources of protein.
