Abstract: A method of preparing a bacterial composition is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) in vitro co-culturing beneficial bacteria with biofilm-producing bacteria in a growth substrate under conditions that generate a biofilm which comprises the beneficial bacteria and the non-pathogenic bacteria; and (b) isolating the biofilm from the growth substrate.

Abstract: Provided are methods for extraction of various agents, e.g. active agent, from a plant source, specifically with the use of extraction formulations which are based on micellar liquid systems.

Abstract: Methods of generating organoids on multi-well plates are provided by depositing a polymeric solution comprising cells under conditions which result in a homogenous population of organoids, which can be used for high throughput analysis for drug screening and for determining treatment regimens of a drug.

Abstract: A guided tracheal intubation system using an autonomous modulated light source, outputting modulated illumination at a constant level, and externally applied to the subject's larynx region. An optical imaging system receives a video stream from within the subject's throat, including modulated illumination from the subject's trachea. A display control system performs signal processing on the modulated content of the images, and outputs frames of those images in which the intensity level of illumination from the trachea can be controlled without any need to change the illumination output from the modulated light source. The light source has no connection with the rest of the system, and need contain no more than a battery, a power supply circuit and a light source. It can therefore be of low cost and can be made disposable, such as in the form of an adhesive patch applied to the subject's neck.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of enhancing formation and/or growth of an adventitious root in a plant and/or plant tissue, and/or for promoting grafting unification, enhancing fruit size and/or reducing flowering in a plant. The method comprises contacting at least a portion of the plant and/or plant tissue with a compound having Formula I: wherein X, Y and R1-R7 are as defined herein. Further described are compositions for enhancing formation and/or growth of an adventitious root in a plant and/or plant tissue, and/or for promoting grafting unification, enhancing fruit size and/or reducing flowering in a plant, comprising the abovementioned compound and a horticulturally acceptable carrier. Novel compounds having Formula I are also described herein.

Abstract: A method for reducing renal tissue toxicity in a subject caused by a kidney damaging agent is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject: (i) a kidney damaging agent; and (ii) an inhibitor of glucose reabsorption.

Abstract: Provided is a novel photoinitiator in the form of a hybrid nanoparticle constructed of a semiconductor and metallic regions, and uses thereof.

Abstract: An optically active structure and a display device are presented. The device utilized an optically active structure comprising liquid crystal material and a plurality of nanorods configured to emit light in one or more predetermined ranges in response to pumping light. Variation in orientation of the liquid crystal varies orientation of the nanorods and modulated light emission therefrom.
