Colorectal cancer remains within the three most lethal cancers, largely due to the inevitable development of resistance to chemotherapy. Recent breakthroughs demonstrate that cancer immunotherapy can be highly effective in patients with skin cancer using T cells from the human immune system to fight off cancer. Our laboratory has found that T cells can recognize […]

Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, awaits new treatments due to high resistance of metastases toward chemotherapy. Similarly to infection, cancer cells can be recognized as foreign by T cells from the immune system because they express mutated proteins. Actually, T cells can be isolated from tumors, expanded in vitro and infused to […]

La demande grandissante en graphite des dernières années, notamment dans le domaine des technologies vertes, a favorisé l’exploration pour cette substance. Dans cette optique, l’ancienne mine Miller, qui fût probablement la première mine de graphite en opération au Canada, fait présentement l’objet de travaux d’exploration. La qualité exceptionnelle du graphite qu’on y retrouve, ainsi que […]

L’assemblage des aéronefs s’effectue en grande partie sur des gabarits dédiés à une tâche précise. L’avènement des systèmes de mesure 3D sans contact et l’environnement numérique en fabrication présentent une opportunité technologique permettant d’améliorer les performances (flexibilité et productivité) des opérations de montage des avions. Ce projet a pour but de proposer une nouvelle solution […]

In recent years monitoring and protection of food and water resources became a priority of governments worldwide. Bio-hazards are potential threat for these resources thus need to be addressed both in industry and in academia. Therefore, developing an accurate, fast and cost effective technique for detection of pathogenic strains called for increased demand on the […]

People affected by head and neck cancer go to the oncology outpatient clinic to receive their chemotherapy treatment in Fortis Institute of Nursing in Mulund, Mumbai, India. After their treatment, they go back home. How can nurses potentialise the transition between the clinic and homebased oncology care? What are the best practices regarding these kind […]

Maternal and under-five mortality are still high in India but it could be reduced by strengthening the access to quality maternal health services. Given the importance of primary care nursing as mediators with families, home care nursing is among one of best options for quality maternal and child health in countries such as India. However, […]

India is the country with the greatest burden of tuberculosis (TB), a very deadly infectious disease. Yet, TB is treatable with a drug regimen. However, as the treatment is very demanding, it is challenging even the most enthusiastic patient to remain compliant. Innovative strategies, such as the use of mobile phones, could complement existing methods […]

This research explores ghost-cities in Hanoi, Vietnam, built mostly for speculative reasons, often lingering uninhabited for a prolonged period of economic uncertainty. The dive of Vietnam in market economy in the 90’s called for a large scale restructuration of what has previously been uncontrolled rapid urbanization processes. At the beginning of the 2000s, at least […]

Le bracelet NEX, développé par Mighty Cast, comprend cinq voyants lumineux DEL de différentes couleurs avec lentille tactile et un actionneur linéaire pour créer des vibrations tactiles. L’utilisation de ces nouveaux modes de communication soulève plusieurs questions : quels patrons visuels et vibrotactiles et combien en utiliser pour communiquer efficacement avec l’utilisateur sans nécessiter trop […]
