Urètre reconstruit par génie tissulaire

Le Laboratoire d’Organogénèse Expérimentale (LOEX) a développé une technique alternative unique et innovante appelée auto-assemblage. Sur la base de cette technique éprouvée, notre équipe a développé une gamme de tissus génito-urinaires (vessie, uretère et urètre et vagin) présentant une organisation histologique très similaire au tissu natif et une très bonne résistance mécanique. Des tissus urétraux ont donc été reconstruits, caractérisés et greffés in situ chez le lapin. Le modèle reste néanmoins à optimiser pour faciliter sa translation clinique.

L’équipe du Dre Fossum à Copenhague est experte dans l’utilisation de cellules souches urothéliales isolée à partir de l’urine, et travaille sur une méthode alternative pour accélérer la production d’un tissu urétral avec du collagène comprimé.

Nos tissus offrent une meilleure différenciation, mais leur modèle est produit plus rapidement. Elissa ira donc apprendre ces techniques et pourra également utiliser nos tissus reconstruits et tester la faisabilité de ré-extraire les cellules afin de les insérer dans le modèle de leur équipe.

Cette collaboration naissante permettra certainement des avancés significatifs dans les prochaines années puisque les équipes œuvrant dans ce domaine se font de plus en plus rares.

Développement d’une approche de conservation systématique pour les milieux humides nordiques intégrant les services écologiques

Avec l’accroissement de la population mondiale, les territoires nordiques constituent un potentiel croissant de développement pour l’accès aux ressources naturelles. L’augmentation imminente des perturbations dans ces territoires risque d’entrainer un déclin de la provision des services écologiques, soit les bénéfices que les êtres humains obtiennent des écosystèmes. L’objectif de cette recherche est de caractériser l’impact qu’auront les perturbations industrielles sur la provision des services écologiques. Plus spécifiquement, le projet permettra de déterminer à quelle moment (avant, pendant ou après) serait-il préférable de planifier la conservation des services écologiques. Nous simulerons plusieurs scénarios de développement dans la région de la Minganie (Côte-Nord, Québec), puis en fonction de chacun de ces scénarios nous réaliserons des réseaux de conservation pour protéger une provision durable de dix services écologiques. L’analyse des données nous permettra notamment d’identifier le seuil de perturbation minimale qui pourrait être réalisé sur le territoire avant d’entrainer des pertes irréversibles quant au succès de la conservation des services écologiques.

Prevention of cancer induced muscle wasting by polyunsaturated fatty acids

People suffering from cancer often experience loss of muscle which negatively impacts the response to cancer treatments and shortens survival. Several factors are at play to promote muscle loss. We are proposing a more relevant model to study muscle wasting that occurs during cancer treatment by utilizing skeletal muscle biopsy from patients undergoing surgery for cancer. The cells from the muscle sample are cultured in the lab and how they respond to different stimuli will be assessed. For each patients providing muscle, their muscle mass and change in muscle over time is known to allow us to match the behaviour of the muscle cells in the lab to whether the person is gaining or losing muscle mass. We believe it is more relevant to study muscle from humans who have the condition of interest to ensure translatability of findings.
