Comme alternative aux coupes totales, les coupes partielles sont utilisées pour assurer la conservation de la biodiversité tout en fournissant les ressources ligneuses nécessaires de manière durable. Aujourd’hui de nombreuses études scientifiques ont démontré l’efficience des coupes partielles pour la préservation d’espèces forestières animales et végétales et leur potentiel pour la production de bois. Cependant, […]

Biotechnological advancements are opening new doors in clinical and biological sciences by enabling in-depth exploration of disease markers and pathways that were previously unimaginable. However, these advancements bring data challenges due to the complexity and vast amount of information involved. Traditional analysis methods often fall short in capturing the dynamic nature of biological processes, usually […]

La douleur d’origine myofasciale (DMF) serait la principale cause des douleurs musculosquelettiques dans le monde et affecterait entre 30 et 85% des individus au courant de leur vie. Or, cette pathologie est actuellement très difficile à diagnostiquer car il existe aucune méthode d’évaluation objective permettant de quantifier les changements que l’on retrouve dans les muscles […]

In Durham Region, Ontario, Grandview Children’s Centre (Grandview) is the only provincially designated center to provide necessary rehabilitation services for these children. However, high demand has created long wait times to care. Using electronic health records of children under 19 years-old […]

C-Myc, N-Myc and L-Myc were shown to have a partially redundant function in cells. Since their identification, extensive efforts were made to characterize their respective function at homeostasis and their role in various infamous diseases. Still, very little is known about those proteins at a biophysical level, except for c-MYC. Interestingly, despite being critical for […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common brain disorder affecting movement, with one of its challenging symptoms being freezing of gait (FOG), where a person temporarily feels as though their feet are glued to the ground. Current treatments often fail to help with FOG, highlighting the need for more research. This study uses advanced MRI techniques […]

A large number of biological samples have been collected from research participants and are stored in freezers. In addition, huge volume of omics datasets exist. However, currently there is no place where all these resources are listed thus the research community is not aware of the existence of most of these samples and data. To […]

As you’re walking, suddenly, your feet become glued to the floor, unable to move. This is what people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often experience, a symptom called Freezing of Gait (FOG). Despite how common it is and its impact on daily life, finding effective treatments has been challenging because we don’t fully understand why it […]

À mesure que la population mondiale et la demande en denrée alimentaire augmentent, il est primordial de maintenir des sols en bonne santé et productifs. L’agriculture doit donc se réinviter et trouver des solutions pour limiter l’utilisation de pesticides conventionnels. L’utilisation de substances naturelles pour développer des bio-pesticides est une alternative novatrice aux pesticides conventionnels. […]

As part of ongoing work developing community-based fisheries and associated co-management frameworks within their territory, the Kitasoo Xai’xais First Nation (KXFN) is interested in investigating the state of spot prawn populations and the commercial fishery dynamics within their territory, contextualised within the broader state of spot prawn populations in British Columbia. This information will form […]

Certaines personnes non-communicantes sont limitées dans leur capacité à utiliser des dispositifs de communication améliorée et alternative (CAA), ce qui peut affecter grandement leur qualité de vie. Ces personnes dépendent de l’évaluation des proches aidants de leur état émotionnel.
