Marseille is particularly renowned in the academic and private sectors in the field of immunology, with major state-funded projects and some of the best hospital facilities in France. But Marseille is also a large campus—Luminy—on the edge of the famous calanques in an idyllic setting, offering a range of academic expertise (32 research laboratories, including … Read more
Contrary to popular belief, the notion of the Jewish people as the chosen people is supposed to represent their status as witnesses to the universality of the one God who created man—all men—in his image. This is the notion of ‘witness’ (‘ED’ in Hebrew). The universality of Judaism, which has contributed so much to history, … Read more
The genocide in Gaza and the ongoing massacres in the West Bank, which has been occupied since 1967, prove that a solution to the conflict is not imminent. Zionism wants all the land without the Palestinian inhabitants, and all laws and actions are consistent with this goal and are, moreover, unconsciously accepted as such by … Read more
The rewriting of history is a hallmark of dictators and the far right. It is, of course, accompanied by the destruction of all laws and instruments of control by those in power with the aim of establishing a dictatorship. Since Gramsci, we have known the importance of this process, which inspires would-be dictators and has … Read more
In 1944, the Nazis deprived the provinces of the Netherlands that were densely populated in the west, near the major rivers, of food. Known as the “Winter of Hunger,” this blockade was intended to punish the Dutch for their reluctance to support the Nazi war effort. Food and fuel supplies from agricultural areas were cut off. The undisputed … Read more
Prime Minister Ben-Gurion said in 1948: “That’s it, we’re just like everyone else, we even have Jewish prostitutes!” In 80 years, the Jews of Israel have shown that they have nothing to envy of the massacres carried out by the Belgians, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Germans, Australians, Japanese, Yankees, etc. in the countries they colonized, … Read more
I am not politically aligned with you, but I respect your office and your election. Clearly, your second term is ending badly, with little to leave behind in history. Your only achievements so far are the inclusion of the right to abortion in the constitution and a few fair and memorable inductions into the Panthéon. … Read more
Faced with the failure of current treatments for the most aggressive brain tumours, a team from Grenoble and Marseille in France has unveiled an innovative dual therapy combining two generic cancer drugs, mebendazole and bumetanide. The first kills cancer cells and the second blocks hyperactivity and metastasis. The combination has been patented by B&A-Oncomedical, a … Read more
We are left speechless to see that genocide is taking place before our very eyes and that European (and US) democracies are turning a blind eye when they are not directly participating in the carnage. It is impossible for anyone in good faith to deny that genocide is taking place in Gaza. All the boxes … Read more
The media, which is mostly pro-Israel here as elsewhere, continue to proclaim that it is the Palestinian Arabs who do not want a Jewish state, when for 80 years it has been Israel that has blocked any agreement, prohibited the creation of a Palestinian state as provided for in the 1947 agreements, and terrorised and … Read more
The importance of central components activated in relation to stress and inflammation has long been known. This includes the amygdala complex, a major structure involved in emotional responses, which I have studied extensively from an electrophysiological and anatomical perspective. Almost all components of this complex are located in the temporal lobe, which has one of … Read more
There is currently no effective treatment for brain tumours, particularly glioblastomas (GBMs), which have a low life expectancy after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Innovations, particularly in immunotherapy and CAR T cells, are beginning to show promising results in peripheral cancers, but they are very expensive, which is a problem even for rich countries, and are completely … Read more
In recent years, universities have been ranked according to their publications, the number of Nobel Prize winners working there, etc. Comparing Harvard (over £40 billion in funds, 14,000 employees, but only 23,000 students) to Aix Marseille University (€72 million and 80,000 students, 8,000 staff) is not straightforward. Admittedly, Harvard currently has 42 Nobel Prize winners … Read more
We often forget the level of education in Gaza and Palestine. With a literacy rate of 98% (UN), Palestine has one of the highest rates in the world. With 12 universities and dozens of secondary schools, Gaza can compare itself to any developed country. Israel has understood that to dominate a country, you have to … Read more
In the Bible and the Talmud (and Jesus said something similar), it is said that those who return to the right path are worth more in the eyes of God than 1,000 righteous people. We are therefore delighted that Sinclair, Horvilleur, Sfar and a few politicians (Braun-Pivet, albeit with great caution) have recognised that they … Read more
“Yehezkel Ben-Ari: The Neuroarcheology concept: From brain development to predicting, understanding, and treating brain disorders”. This is the title of an interview published by Genomic press as part of a series of portraits dedicated to the scientific and personal life of well-known scientists. it is always amazing and difficult to bring together personnal and professional … Read more
I am delighted to announce the creation of a corporate hotel on the Luminy campus – the Ben-Ari Institute for Innovation (IBEN) – which will be built by Eiffage with Rudy Ricciotti as architect and Tivoli Capital as the main financier. With 6,600 square metres of laboratories, offices and common areas, it will be a … Read more
Politics should not interfere with science, because when it does, whether through major priorities (such as Sarkozy’s Alzheimer’s plan), it prevents progress. By definition, science is a long-term endeavour, and major discoveries occur unpredictably in a fertile environment. When Stalin decided that Lysenko would manage genetics according to the laws of socialism – a narrow … Read more
No one with a shred of morality can deny that the events in Gaza and elsewhere in Palestine constitute war crimes and genocide. The massacres committed by Hamas on 7 October cannot justify the death and starvation of an entire people, the death of thousands of starving infants and the destruction of everything that makes … Read more
In this work (1), the authors examined the possible relationships between metabolism and food consumed during pregnancy, and in particular during the 24th week (approximately 6 months of gestation), and the incidence of neurodevelopmental diseases such as autism and ADHD. The study examined the development of children at the age of 10 in a cohort … Read more
We live in troubled and dangerous times, with the beginnings of great wars being announced, sometimes rightly and sometimes wrongly. Malraux was right to say that the next century will be religious or will not be. Indeed, we must admit that the three monotheistic religions have returned, to varying degrees, to a medieval and literal … Read more
In an interview conducted by journalist Anne Guion, I answered a few questions, emphasising the importance of motherhood, which is the most fragile period with regard to pollution in general and pesticides in particular (see also the french article below). Before Trump’s arrival, exceptional studies had shown that the incidence of autism and brain diseases … Read more
We live in a dangerous world, with Putin wanting to re-establish the Russian Empire in Europe, Trump wanting anything and everything, and the extreme right seemingly forgetting Nazism and the world wars. Not to mention the fashionable fake news that prohibits any debate based on facts, not fantasies. So we have to prepare ourselves for … Read more
I am pleased to announce the publication, with my friend Etienne Danchin, of an article that criticizes the genetic view of autism and shows why we cannot ignore the crucial role of the environment during pregnancy. In our opinion, the dominance of the genetic view of autism for decades is not only based on questionable … Read more
I am delighted to announce my participation in the prestigious BIO-EUROPE SPRING 2025, a key event for innovation in biotechnology and life sciences, taking place in Milan from March 17 to 20, 2025. At this event, I will have the opportunity to present our two flagship projects, which have the potential to revolutionize the treatment … Read more
As part of an exceptional conference organized by the Rotary Club la Ciotat Ceyreste, I will have the honor of presenting my work on autism and prenatal brain dysfunctions. Entitled “Predicting and treating autism through the concept of neuroarchaeology”, this conference will highlight fundamental discoveries that could transform the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders. … Read more
In a just world, Trump, Biden and Netanyahu should be in the Hague next to the boss of Hamas for war crimes. Trump and Biden for having paid for this war, without them Israel would not have lasted more than a week for lack of Bombs. Trump too for so many other reasons that it … Read more
I fully understand that those who are over there have a sharper vision than mine, who live far from the bombs and bombings and who consider me a traitor. BUT, it can also be said that living far away allows you to see things with a bit more reason and long-term goals! A summary as … Read more
I can’t understand how anyone could dare to question the genocide in Gaza! It’s understandable that Jews, like me, have sensitivities. But the truth is the truth and there is no point in hiding it. It is genocide, with all the requisite criteria. We start with Guernica: more bombs were dropped on potential populations than … Read more
One of the aims of both political and medical authorities is to diagnose neurodevelopmental syndromes such as autism as early as possible. Behavioural treatments are all the more effective if they start early, during the pivotal period of plasticity and learning in the first 2-3 years of life. In France, as in most other European … Read more
