Cryoprotecant toxicity accumulation models in mollusc oocytes

Cryopreservation of aquatic species’ gametes and embryos would enable stable and sustainable resources for genetic management in species preservation and breedstock for aquaculture. Cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos is of considerable financial interest to both Spanish and Canadian aquaculture, yet there have been no industry-scale successes in their cryopreservation. The Paredes lab at the University […]

Generating macrophages from cultured embryonic stem cells

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes and cancer cells in a process called phagocytosis. They are often involved in development of inflammation, but in some settings can have the opposite effect. Much research is dedicated to investigating how macrophages develop […]

Investigation into the potential of convenient EEG platforms in performing auditory attention detection

n noisy environments, normal hearing individuals demonstrate an ability to tune into a desired speaker while attenuating irrelevant background noise. Previous studies have shown that by analyzing brain wave data in the form of electroencephalography (EEG), and applying a technique called stimulus reconstruction technique, we can determine and even roughly reconstruct the attended speech. These […]
