Fluorescence imaging is a powerful technique to focus and acquire high-resolution pathology images that contain rich sources of information that is useful for diagnostics in clinical trials to study possible disease such as cancer glands and tumors. Despite the high definition images, the collected images are severely contaminated with noise artifacts which make most feature […]

The therapeutic effect of a vaccine depends on its chemical composition, and in particular the integrity of its protein components. Conditions under which a vaccine is manufactured and stored can damage the proteins it contains; however, since proteins are structurally complex and reactive, their degradation during routine handling is unpredictable. In the project described here, […]

Le comportement et l’autonomie d’une nouvelle génération de batteries au lithium sont cruciaux pour le dimensionnement de système de stockage pour des applications stationnaires. Pour cela, des modèles précis et efficaces de ce type de batterie sont nécessaires pour que les concepteurs de systèmes d’énergie puissent prédire et optimiser l’utilisation des batteries avec une augmentation […]

Ginseng is a medicinal plant with a long history of traditional use. The medicinal properties of ginseng root have been attributed to two main classes of chemical compounds: ginsenosides and polysaccharides. While much is known about ginsenoside pharmacology, less is known about polysaccharide pharmacology. One of the most important properties of ginseng root polysaccharides is […]

NB-BioMatrix Inc. (NBBM or the company) has developed a nanoparticle product, Naqua-PureTM, for industrial heavy metal water remediation. Unlike current heavy metal removal technologies, Naqua PureTM is cheap, environmentally friendly, requires low energy input, and is highly efficient. However, in order to commercialize this nanotechnology it is necessary to (1) develop and implement quality assurance […]

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems because they provide many services to surrounding areas. However, due to their highly productive nature, they have a long history of being converted into farmland in Maritime Canada. In recent years, there has been strong interest in restoring salt marshes to protect against coastal erosion, mitigate sea level rise, […]

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) treatment in model systems for wound healing, spinal cord injury and heart disease have demonstrated a greater versus the ‘vehicle’ treated group due to the cells ability to engraft and contribute to new tissue as well as decrease apoptosis and inflammation. All of these properties are associated with superior tissue healing. […]
