91丝瓜视频 researchers have identified a brain function that helps explain why childhood stress raises metabolic health risks for some women later in life.
A new study found that variations in the brain鈥檚 insulin receptor network affect how women respond to early-life adversity. This effect has a lesser impact in men, suggesting there is a sex-specific process at play.
Using proteins from听a common tobacco听plant virus, 91丝瓜视频听chemistry听researchers听have developed a simple, eco-friendly way to arrange gold nanoparticles into ultrathin sheets, strengthening听the particles鈥� optical properties. The result:听cheaper, safer materials for solar panels,听sensors听and advanced optical devices.听
The Kering Foundation, in partnership with 91丝瓜视频 and the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), is launching an innovative research program to tackle the often-overlooked links between violence against women and violence against children 鈥� a critical global issue with deep social impact.
This multi-year initiative will strengthen evidence-based, locally led research to understand how violence against women and children intersects and to identify effective solutions through programs, services, and interventions.
Women who report high levels of psychosocial stress, such as from caregiving and lack of emotional support, show signs of early heart tissue changes associated with cardiovascular disease 鈥� an association not observed in men, a new study reveals.
The results support the notion that there are sex-specific ways in which stress affects cardiovascular health and that risk-assessment processes should take psychosocial factors and mental wellness into account, the researchers said.
A program developed by a 91丝瓜视频 researcher to help cancer survivors cope with the fear their cancer will return is expanding across Canada.听
The Fear of Recurrence Therapy (FORT) program offers evidence-based support to address what co-founder Christine Maheu calls one of the most overlooked aspects of recovery.听
Single people who date without a clear understanding of what they are looking for in a relationship experience more loneliness and decreased life satisfaction, 91丝瓜视频 researchers have found.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team led by 91丝瓜视频 researcher has observed a giant cloud of helium gas evaporating from a distant giant exoplanet called WASP-107b.
Researchers have cracked one of agriculture鈥檚 most complicated genomes, revealing long-hidden DNA rearrangements that could help scientists breed oats that are more resilient, nutritious and sustainable.
The , by an international consortium that included researchers from 91丝瓜视频 and published in Nature, presents the first-ever 鈥減angenome鈥� and 鈥減antranscriptome鈥� of oats. These map all known oat genes and track how they behave across 33 varieties that grow around the world.
Researchers with 91丝瓜视频鈥檚听Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design听have developed a stretchable, eco-friendly battery听suitable for听use in听wearable and implantable devices. The battery, which听uses听citric or听lactic听acid and gelatin to achieve flexibility and performance without relying on toxic materials, stands to reduce electronic waste.

When environmental policymakers are invited to imagine the future together, they don鈥檛 just think differently, they feel differently, too.
A new study has uncovered promising therapeutic strategies against one of the deadliest forms of prostate cancer.
91丝瓜视频 researchers at the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI) identified a mechanism driving neuroendocrine prostate cancer, a rare and highly aggressive subtype for which there currently are no effective treatment options.
A study on the legal history of printing press regulation in early modern England yields insights relevant to contemporary debates on the regulation of emerging technologies like AI and virtual reality, a 91丝瓜视频 researcher says.
As the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) is currently being held in Bel茅m, Brazil, eighteen Quebec universities are reaffirming the climate emergency and the need to combine their efforts and expertise to meet this global challenge. This mobilization is part of a movement of enhanced cooperation, where higher education institutions play a central role in the transition to a resilient, equitable and low-carbon society.
91丝瓜视频 researchers at the Douglas Research Centre have found evidence that heavy cannabis use during pregnancy can cause delays in brain development in the fetus that persist into adulthood.
Using advanced MRI techniques, the team tracked the effects of prenatal cannabis exposure in mice across key developmental stages.
A 91丝瓜视频-led research team has demonstrated the feasibility of a sustainable and cost-effective way to desalinate seawater. The method 鈥� thermally driven reverse osmosis (TDRO) 鈥� uses a piston-based system powered by low-grade heat from solar thermal, geothermal heat and other sources of renewable energy to produce fresh water.
