The laboratory expanded its footprint from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet to be able to put in new instruments needed for the required regulated pesticides testing for adult cannabis required by Health Canada.

Weight loss and the reversal of dyslipidemia and glucose intolerance was achieved in diet-induced obese mice, by specifically targeting potential regulators of energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism.

A pioneer in the study of neural cells has revealed how a single mutation affecting the most common protein in a supporting brain cell produces devastating, fibrous globs. These, in turn, disturb the location of cellular processing units, harm the flow of energy and signals through the brain, and reduce the formation of myelin, an essential insulator for neurons.

Single direct-to-tumor drug-delivery device, smaller than a grain of rice, offers hope for treating triple-negative breast cancer.

Evidence suggests that mussels are not a robust indicator of microplastics in the marine environment because of their inherent ability to selectively feed, making them very picky eaters.

Comparing two strains of Salmonella – one that causes disease in humans and the other in reptiles – researchers discovered a covert way that the human-affecting bacteria essentially tricks the immune system into not attacking.

Factors such as geographical origin may play a larger role in how much consumers are willing to pay for wine than the actual taste.

Cryo-electron microscopy imaging reveals an intricate arrangement of antibodies locked into a spiral structure with a parasite protein. The insights are key for improving malaria vaccine candidates.

Are you taking your time when feeding your pet? Fluffy and Fido are on to you — and they can tell when you are dawdling. A new study has found some of the clearest evidence yet that animals can judge time. By examining the brain’s medial entorhinal cortex, the researchers discovered a previously unknown set of neurons that turn on like a clock when an animal is waiting.

A molecular sensor with a microbead format enables rapid in-situ detection of harmful molecules in biological fluids or foods.
