Happy Hanukkah 🕎 #cartilagebiology lab @Hujident @ForMaalot #BINA

Honored to share our new paper, Osteoarthritis as a Systemic Disease, in @NatRevRheumatol out today: rdcu.be/eSXLW - thanks to Ida Haugen, Tuhina Neogi, @Farsh_G - with support from @NIH_NIAMS @NIHAging

Brain aging influences the joint. Food for thought #osteoarthritis #meniscus great teamwork !

Warm congratulations to #BINA graduate @IdanCarmon for receiving an excellence award at the school of military medicine’s! @Hujident @ForMaalot Idan promoted #BINA, mentored candidates always setting an example! Our lab is proud of Idans’ outstanding achievement🏆

Excited to share this work providing some insight about hypothalamic cb1 tone and joint structure with age! kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2… Fantastic collab with our Germany colleagues and Eli F. Miya and Oriya from#cartilage lab Big TNX to @AM_Malf Rachel Miller and @MSKPainCenter

@RicGottardi Congrats Riccardo! Cool stuff 🌟

First we created a pore size gradient scaffold, then we tested in our biphasic bioreactor if it could be used for osteochondral repair, with each pore size promoting tissue specific differentiation which it did enough to move this to in vivo which we are working on now

Great job @kwysmith bringing this work through the finish line! This is a story that started a few years back when Gio' visited my lab to test how different micropore dimensions in a polymeric scaffold preferentially support chondrogenesis vs. osteogenesis pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has been ranked 88th in the world in the Shanghai World University Rankings 2025. The university is placed second among Israeli institutions featured in this year’s ranking. Prof. Asher Cohen, President of the Hebrew University, stated: "The fact that the Hebrew University is once again included in the list of the world's top 100 universities is a clear testament to the academic and research excellence of our faculty members. We are proud of Israeli academia, which once again has three institutions in the top 100. This achievement is particularly impressive in a challenging period, when the entire Israeli academy is facing unprecedented attacks in the international arena, and in which our research receives the official seal of approval for the quality of our work. Despite and in spite of the challenges, we will continue to lead groundbreaking research and be a bridge of knowledge and science between Israel and the world." Prof. Tamir Sheafer, Rector of the Hebrew University and incoming President, added: "We are proud to continue to foster an academic environment that promotes critical thinking, research excellence, and innovative teaching. An endeavor that connects a glorious 100-year heritage with groundbreaking work for the future." The Shanghai Index, published annually, is considered one of the most reliable global rankings in academia. It evaluates the quality of research at institutions worldwide, taking into account factors such as the number of faculty members and alumni who have won Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, as well as the volume and quality of publications in leading journals. This year’s ranking assessed approximately 2,500 universities. The Index is frequently cited by governments, funding agencies, and the international press, making it a key benchmark of global academic standing. With only a small fraction of the world’s universities making it into the top 100, Hebrew University’s inclusion underscores the exceptional quality and impact of its research.
