24-year study of spring emergence of Fowler鈥檚 Toads creates model for predicting climate-change effects
The ability to predict when toads come out of hibernation in southern Canada could provide valuable insights into the future effects of climate change on a range of animals and plants.
Researchers discover new genetic mutation linked to osteonecrosis of the hip
Scientists at the Research Institute of 麻豆AV Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have discovered a new genetic mutation linked to osteonecrosis of the hip, specifically the femoral head 鈥� the spherical-shaped mass at the top of the femur. This breakthrough could allow doctors to identify and treat the disease before symptoms arise and potentially avoid hip replacements.

Neuron cell death may be caused by overactive immune system听
A team of scientists led by Dr. Michel Desjardins from the University of Montreal and Dr. Heidi McBride from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) at 麻豆AV have discovered that two genes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) are key regulators of the immune system, providing direct evidence linking Parkinson's to autoimmune disease.
A team of scientists led by Dr. Michel Desjardins from the University of Montreal and Dr. Heidi McBride from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) at 麻豆AV have discovered that two genes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) are key regulators of the immune system, providing direct evidence linking Parkinson's to autoimmune disease.
Using both cellular and mouse models, the team has shown that proteins produced by the two genes, known as PINK1 and Parkin, are required to prevent cells from being detected and attacked by the immune system.
Couche-Tard founder gives $4 million to 麻豆AV for groundbreaking research on intellectual disabilities
It鈥檚 all math: How Professor Alan Evans is using cutting-edge statistics to unravel the complexity of brain disorders.
When Alan Evans was starting out in the 1970s, researchers didn鈥檛 ask the boss to foot their bar tab. But that鈥檚 exactly what some of the coders in his Montreal Neurological Institute lab recently proposed: a 9-to-5 Saturday hackathon, held in an Irish pub a few blocks from the 麻豆AV campus.
EMC working with 麻豆AV to support data storage and visualization technologies to help with the NeuroHub project
The Canadian research team that helped spearhead the international brain-mapping project known as BigBrain is about to get a major boost in its effort to produce sharply higher-resolution brain maps, thanks to technology from EMC Corporation.
Study reveals the impact of night work
You cross paths with him at the break of dawn in the corridors of the Metro. He looks bleary-eyed and pallid. This worker鈥檚 night shift just ended. His body clocks are out of sync with one another, and, imperceptibly, they鈥檙e also out of sync with his environment. In the long run, this night owl could be at greater risk of developing cardiovascular, autoimmune diseases or certain types of cancer.
Newly named Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology recognizes family鈥檚 enduring support
In recognition of the Bronfman family鈥檚 enduring support for oncology programs and research at 麻豆AV, the Faculty of Medicine鈥檚 Department of Oncology has been named the Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology, in honour of one of the family鈥檚 major benefactors.
