Increasing the biomonitoring potential of water boatmen (Hemiptera: Corixidae) in Alberta

In the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada, wetland consolidation and agrichemicals are potentially threatening aquatic life. The water boatmen are a family of aquatic insects with 42 species in Alberta that are monitored province-wide by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute. However, currently only a small proportion of the water boatmen collected in the monitoring program […]

L2M – IsoStage: bringing Overcoming Isometrics training to general fitness.

IsoStage is a high-tech, revolutionary fitness device inspired by the founder’s background in kinesiology and personal interest in strength training and body building. The idea emerged from the realization that there is a clear absence of devices or convenient methods catering to overcoming isometrics (OI) training – a technique that has incredible potential to build […]

Development and Evaluation of Novel Small Molecules Targeting Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 1 for the Treatment of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) expression, exhibits high invasiveness, metastatic potential, and poor prognosis. Current chemotherapy for metastatic TNBC is associated with low response rates and short progression-free survival. It is imperative to find new therapies for this […]

L2M – A revolutionary needle-free delivery technology for macromolecular skincare products

Our innovative technology overcomes skin barriers, enabling efficient epidermal and dermal delivery of macromolecules (HA) through a pain-free, needle-free topical application. Therefore, we achieve better hydration with more long lasting. We keep healthy skin (hydrating and plumping, and can fade fine lines) in one step. This technology has great potential for commercialization and it may […]

Membraneless Electrolyzer for Low-cost Hydrogen Production

A membraneless electrolyzer, as the name suggests, eliminates the requirement of the membrane, and a microchannel flow-based separation of the gas products is attained to obtain pure hydrogen. Unlike PEMWE, membraneless electrolyzers have fewer components consisting of a microchannel encompassing a pair of electrodes, thereby showcasing high resiliency and increased operational lifetime. This translates to […]
