A study by scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, has focused on cancer cells’ “bullying” behavior and its effect on cells in a tumor’s microenvironment.
A team of researchers studied the tooth replacement rate of ancient hybodont sharks and its role in the recovery of the marine ecosystem during the Middle Triassic period. The ancient sharks, some of the most successful chondrichthyan lineages of all time, first appeared in the Devonian era and survived until the Late Cretaceous, according to a study published in May by Science Direct.
Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science and other institutions have made significant strides in designing a stable human acid-b-glucosidase enzyme, hoping to improve therapy for Gaucher disease and mutation classification.
Scientists from institutions like the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, Tufts University, and Vascular Perfusion Solutions, Inc., among others, have discovered an injectable 'biostasis' drug, SNC80, that can rapidly and reversibly slow biochemical and metabolic activities, offering potential clinical relevance for organ preservation, trauma management, and enhancing patient survival. This breakthrough discovery could revolutionize organ transplantation and medical care in remote and resource-limited locations.
As world climate experts begin to gather in Glasgow, Scotland, for the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), a provocative Canada-U.K. study co-authored by two Université de Montréal anthropologists is generating a lot of buzz around the globe.
Université de Montréal microbiologist Yves Brun made the discovery several years ago: an aquatic bacterium called Caulobacter crescentus produces an extremely powerful glue that adhere to its surrounding wet surfaces, such as pipes and fresh water.
A waterproof coat keeps you dry when it rains, but did you know it can also contaminate the environment? That’s because the fabric contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) –
A team of scientists in Montreal and Paris has succeeded in identifying the gene responsible for the development of a food-dependent form of Cushing’s Syndrome,
The idea that alcohol, cannabis, and other drug abuse and dependence disorders lead to suicidal tendencies in adolescents and young adults is being challenged by the results of a new study in PLOS ONE
Boys who participate in sports in early childhood are less likely to experience later depressive and anxiety symptoms – known as emotional distress –
Researchers at Université de Montréal and McGill University have discovered a new multi-enzyme complex that reprograms metabolism and overcomes “cellular senescence,” when aging cells stop dividing.
Persistent infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) in pregnant women may increase the risk of preterm birth,
It’s an old adage: there’s no harm in getting a second opinion. But what if that second opinion could be generated by a computer, using artificial intelligence?
Using telemedicine to care for patients suffering from depression is nothing new; the first study of its acceptability and effectiveness dates back to 1998.
Nevada's enigmatic past has long fascinated scientists and geologists, and now, a groundbreaking discovery by researcher Mark A. S. McMenamin is poised to reshape our understanding of the state's ancient marine environments.
In a groundbreaking exploration that spans centuries of fossil history, a team of dedicated researchers led by James Tayler, alongside Christopher J. Duffin, Claudia Hildebrandt, Adam Parker and Michael J. Benton, embarked on a quest to unravel the mysteries of Doniford Bay's geological riches.
