Project Overview

A type of brain cancers called "diffuse gliomas" currently lacks effective treatments. One obstacle to developing new therapies is the disease variability between patients. Several categories of diffuse gliomas have been identified. However, we know that even within each of these categories, the tumors can vary substantially. This includes differences…

Project Overview

The increasing prevalence of anxio-depressive disorders worldwide suggests that current therapeutic strategies are insufficient in tackling this global health concern. An important element hindering our capacity to treat these mental health issues is our limited knowledge of the cellular mechanisms underlying behavioural dysfunction in psychiatric illness. While most of the…

Project Overview

Background: Mixed dementia is the most common form of dementia. It occurs when Alzheimer’s disease (AD) combines with vascular disease, affecting both the blood vessels and the immune function in our brain. As this happens, memory difficulties develop. However, typical AD research has neglected the blood vessel health and associated…
