Israeli scientists redesign T cells, shrinking tumors in promising cancer study

A groundbreaking study has revealed that over 70% of young diabetics managed to complete a 25-hour fast without major issues when they adjusted their insulin pumps beforehand, making safe fasting eight times more likely. This research, carried out by the Jerusalem College of Technology and Shaare Zedek Medical Center, highlights how advanced diabetes technologies can enable many people with type 1 diabetes to observe religious fasts securely.

The study focused on two major Jewish fasts, Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, as well as four minor ones, but concentrated solely on the major fasts. Despite some religious young individuals forgoing the minor fasts, the researchers emphasized that these practices could pose health risks and should not be undertaken without a doctor's consultation.
