Cancer cells can travel to distant sites through the lymphatic system; this system is similar to a network of pipes within the body that carries fluids and cells to all organs. The metastatic spread of cancer cells through this network is one of the reasons why this disease is so difficult to stop. We are […]

The Apricot Seed Wasp Eurytoma samsonowi Vasiljev (1915) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) is a phytophagous parasitic wasp species associated with stone fruits, detected first in the oases of Gafsa southwest of Tunisia. It causes high infestation on apricot to reach up to 76% as yield loss rate. Among control methods, mass trapping with sex pheromones is considered […]

Multicellular organisms begin as a single cell with instructions encoded by the genome. During development this cell multiplies many times generating an enormous number of cells, each with its own specialized role. For example, developed humans are composed of trillions of cells but our organs and limbs have the right form, location, and function with […]

Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical and smoking is still, to this day, the leading cause of preventable death. Several pharmacological strategies have been approved for smoking cessation and nicotine addiction treatment. However, these strategies are not always effective and lead more often than not to relapse. Hence, new nicotine cessation products and devices are […]

The goal of this study will be to development a process to manufacture the oil-based raw material with PAT implementation.

Objective 1. Generation and testing of blood converting enzyme retention device for the universal conversion blood collection bag. Objective 2. Optimization of blood conversion in the blood bag, and enzyme removal, under different conditions. For a more elaborate description of the project overview please see the research proposal document.

Le but de cette recherche est d’améliorer les propriétés thérapeutiques d’un produit sanguin qui peut sauver des vies des patients avec une infection sévère due à un système immunitaire affaiblie. Ces patients ont un nombre insuffisant de neutrophiles ou des neutrophiles qui ne fonctionnent pas très bien. Les neutrophiles sont des globules blancs qui jouent […]

Over the last decade, chemical biology approaches have proven increasingly successful, delivering new solutions to problems that were previously unresponsive to traditional chemical and biochemical techniques. In the fields of proteomics and genomics, new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing healthcare. However, in the field of glycomics, tractable strategies to study glycan (carbohydrate)-mediated processes remain […]

The Mitacs Globalink Award will empower an interdisciplinary research effort which is geared towards the realization of a prototype Compact Accelerator-based Neutron Source in Canada (CANS) at the University of Windsor. Three beamlines are being planned for the CANS facility and they are intended to serve applications in materials sciences, medical sciences and fluorine-18 radioisotope […]

RepliCel is a regenerative medicine company that develops autologous cell therapies to treat chronic tendinosis, UV-damaged or aged skin, and pattern baldness. The cells in this technology are isolated from skin biopsies obtained from patients. However, because of limited available tissue samples, RepliCel seeks novel technologies to improve their cell culture process, which is currently […]

Les bières faibles en alcool ont souvent un goût de moût résiduel. Ce goût est causé par certains aldéhydes; des molécules qui proviennent du brassage de la bière et du touraillage du grain. Heureusement, durant la fermentation, ces aldéhydes peuvent être transformés en molécules aux arômes agréables. Ce projet s’intéresse aux différents facteurs qui peuvent […]

Recently, bio-sensing R&D using plasmonic has been actively carried out in Korea and overseas. The global bio-sensing market is projected to grow rapidly by an average of 11.6% per year, with a high potential for future development and increased demand in the field. Helical nanostructure using magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles exhibit signals in visible light regions such […]
