Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, with very few treatment options and a poor survival rate. Project Overview Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, with very few treatment options and a poor survival rate. Current treatments, like surgery, chemotherapy,...

Background: As we age, our blood vessels (“vasculature”) can become damaged, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients being supplied to the brain. Project Overview Background: As we age, our blood vessels (“vasculature”) can become damaged, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients being supplied...

Common features in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) include misdirected proteins that build up over time and lead to large protein clumps that are toxic to the cell and lead to cell death. Project Overview Common features in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) include misdirected proteins that...

Pascale Tremblay avec un élève. Le projet Le CINQ, dirigé par les Drs Tremblay et Jackson, a reçu une subvention plateforme de Brain Canada en 2015, en partenariat avec le Centre de recherche sur le cerveau CERVO, pour stimuler l'écosystème régional d'imagerie cérébrale en augmentant le nombre...

Many people living with dementia develop swallowing problems, which can make eating unsafe and stressful for families. Caregivers are often left to manage these challenges with little guidance, especially when trying to prepare foods that are both safe and culturally meaningful. Project...

Mr. Hooshmandi’s research will examine the hypothesis that reduced phosphorylation of eIF2α excessively stimulates general translation in Fmr1 KO mice during brain development, contributing to the pathophysiology of Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and potentially of other forms of autism. Project...

Une percée en recherche fondamentale, rendue possible par une subvention IRMC dela Fondation Brain Canada en 2012, commence aujourd’hui à apporter un soulagement aux patients souffrant de troubles alimentaires — une pathologie qui affiche le taux de mortalité le plus élevé parmi les maladies...

Au lieu d'implanter des électrodes et de faire vibrer des zones plus larges du cerveau pour soulager les symptômes de la maladie de Parkinson, par exemple, un neurochirurgien utiliserait la thérapie génique pour introduire des protéines sensibles à la lumière dans des cellules cérébrales spécifiques...

A hallmark and the earliest event taking place in ALS is the denervation of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), which results in muscle weakness and paralysis. Project Overview A hallmark and the earliest event taking place in ALS is the denervation of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), which results in...
