Le système alimentaire traditionnel à la base du développement de Hanoï, la capitale du Vietnam, fait face à des pressions de la part du gouvernement local qui a pour objectif de moderniser le pays. Les avantages de ce système traditionnel, dont des marchés publics qui sont l’élément clé de ce système, sont beaucoup théorisés dans […]

In India, maternal mortality rate is one of the highest in the world. It is therefore crucial to improve health care for pregnant women to prevent pregnancy complications, premature births and maternal and infant deaths. As the nurse is one of the key health professionals interacting with pregnant women, it is essential to redefine her […]

“Des métabolites présents dans la sève d’érable sont responsables d’un défaut de saveur de plus en plus préoccupant pour l’industrie acéricole, le défaut de « bourgeon ». Les objectifs du projet sont d’explorer les voies de traitement microbiologique possible dans la sève ainsi que dans le sirop d’érable:1. Étudier par des approches de séquençage à […]

DK SPEC is a major producer of cutting tool steels for the Canadian wood industry. A combination of High strength, good toughness, and wear resistance determines the quality of a tool steel. In the framework of Engage, EngagePlus and MITACS acceleration projects, an advanced heat treatment cycle by cryogenic cooling at temperatures as low as […]

DK SPEC is a major producer of blades, cutters, and saws, made of tool steel, for the Canadian wood industry. In order to keep up with the stiff competition, the company has acquired some state-of-the-art heat treatment furnaces for cryogenic treatment. They have a complete cycle for machining, hardening, cryogenic and tempering cycles. They will […]

“Afin d’assurer la sécurité des transports, de nombreuses réglementations existent autour du temps de travail pour les chauffeurs de camion. Elles définissent en particulier des durées maximums de conduite, et des périodes minimums de pause et de repos. Ces réglementations, souvent complexes, varient d’un état et d’un pays à l’autre. Pour que la chaine logistique […]

Afin d’améliorer le sort économique de l’arrondissement Saint-Laurent, DESTL souhaite créer un lien de collaboration entre les grandes entreprises, les PME et les start-ups. Ceci est dans le but de générer de la valeur ajoutée tant pour les entreprises que pour l’arrondissement. Cette tâche n’est pas sans difficulté et nécessite un exercice rigoureux de recherche […]

Prostate biopsies can be difficult to interpret using standard pathology techniques. Because cancer can be fatal, the development of technologies providing complementary information could improve current pathology practice resulting in improved patient outcome. Raman micro-spectroscopy is a molecular imaging technique using backscattered light following tissue laser excitation to indicate whether or not prostate samples contain […]

Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide. The incidence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery, a serious complication that affects vision and requires additional treatment, is ~30%. In this study, we will investigate differences in PCO, presence of fibronectin, and ciliary ring distortion between lenses in eyes obtained from […]

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 […]
