Les greffes de peau traditionnelles, tout en respectant la norme absolue en matière de traitement des plaies, ont un succès limité chez les chevaux en raison de la rareté de la peau des donneurs. De ce fait, l’étude des fibroblastes en culture 3D peut aider à comprendre les mécanismes de l’interaction cellule-matrice, car ces cellules […]

Regenerative medicine has long faced challenges in the search for alternatives that ensure an effective treatment by accelerating the repair process without altering the physiological phases of healing. It is believed that the utilization of the stem-cell secretoma can benefit injured tissue by modulating the local microenvironment, providing cytoprotectors, anti-inflammatory and angiogenic factors during an […]

Principal Investigator: Sandra Carvalho (PhD), School of Psychology, University of Minho, Gualtar Braga, Portugal Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a serious and debilitating illness that affects citizens worldwide. In Portugal, depression can be found within 7% of the population and has been linked to over a thousand deaths every year. In order to reduce the […]

The purpose of the project is to advance training in isotopic analysis. This will be achieved by a comparative isotopic pilot study to assess the degree to which techniques used can nuance the origins of modern animals in Australia, in advance of a larger study of material from the Early Bronze Age Middle East. The […]

A key factor in fostering the resilience of children and youth is the presence of at least one caring adult who holds high but reasonable expectations of them. In some instances, this relationship is formally facilitated by an organization in the form of mentorship. Despite the documented positive effects men have in the lives of […]

While at Berkeley, I would mostly be working on my sole-authored paper. This paper links trade and the environment in Brazil. Using the major trade liberalization episode in the early 1990s as a plausible source of exogenous variation, my paper investigates two hypotheses. First, increased international competition in manufactured goods negatively impacted the least productive […]

Lithium is one of the oldest psychiatric drugs and remains the first-line treatment in the management of bipolar disorder. Studies show that lithium can significantly reduce suicide risk and also help prevent future manic and depressive episodes. As a result, it may be prescribed for long periods of time as maintenance therapy. However, clinical response […]

The project aims to develop a novel research tool that simulates the cell’s natural 3-dimensional environment, while providing the researcher with dynamic control of said environment. This tool will elicit natural cell responses (ie. In tissue), unlike conventional 2-dimensional cell cultures. The tool will also provide the researcher with precise control over the mechanical/biochemical cues […]

Le travail de recherche envisagé vise à situer dans une perspective évolutive et comparatiste, les renouveaux de la nouvelle et du conte québécois depuis les années 1960, et les innovations touchant les formes narratives brèves issues du XIXe siècle français. Les cultures nées de la Révolution française de 1789 et de la Révolution tranquille québécoise […]

Organometal halide perovskites (ABX3, where A is an organic cation, B is a metal cation and X is the halide anion, such as MAPbI3, where MA is methyl ammonium) have experienced a great upsurge in research due to their excellent optical and electrical properties. For instance, the perovskite solar cells have already achieved a certified […]

Access to quality habitat is essential to maintaining healthy fish populations. Natural and anthropogenic features of the riverscape such as falls, dams or road crossings may hinder fish movements and lead to loss of connectivity between complementary habitats. The knowledge of fish swimming performance and mechanics is critical to assessing the ability of individual species […]

The Soft Transducers Laboratory (LTMS) focuses on the development of processes to incorporate sensors into 3D printed wearable devices. This includes the design, fabrication and characterization of printed sensors within elastomeric materials (i.e. materials exhibiting elastic, rubber-like properties). This also includes the incorporation of discrete components into the digitally manufactured systems for the implementation of […]
