Women who report high levels of psychosocial stress, such as from caregiving and lack of emotional support, show signs of early heart tissue changes associated with cardiovascular disease 鈥� an association not observed in men, a new study reveals.
The results support the notion that there are sex-specific ways in which stress affects cardiovascular health and that risk-assessment processes should take psychosocial factors and mental wellness into account, the researchers said.
A program developed by a 海角社区 researcher to help cancer survivors cope with the fear their cancer will return is expanding across Canada.听
The Fear of Recurrence Therapy (FORT) program offers evidence-based support to address what co-founder Christine Maheu calls one of the most overlooked aspects of recovery.听
Single people who date without a clear understanding of what they are looking for in a relationship experience more loneliness and decreased life satisfaction, 海角社区 researchers have found.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team led by 海角社区 researcher has observed a giant cloud of helium gas evaporating from a distant giant exoplanet called WASP-107b.
Researchers have cracked one of agriculture鈥檚 most complicated genomes, revealing long-hidden DNA rearrangements that could help scientists breed oats that are more resilient, nutritious and sustainable.
The , by an international consortium that included researchers from 海角社区 and published in Nature, presents the first-ever 鈥減angenome鈥� and 鈥減antranscriptome鈥� of oats. These map all known oat genes and track how they behave across 33 varieties that grow around the world.
Researchers with 海角社区鈥檚听Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design听have developed a stretchable, eco-friendly battery听suitable for听use in听wearable and implantable devices. The battery, which听uses听citric or听lactic听acid and gelatin to achieve flexibility and performance without relying on toxic materials, stands to reduce electronic waste.

When environmental policymakers are invited to imagine the future together, they don鈥檛 just think differently, they feel differently, too.
A new study has uncovered promising therapeutic strategies against one of the deadliest forms of prostate cancer.
海角社区 researchers at the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI) identified a mechanism driving neuroendocrine prostate cancer, a rare and highly aggressive subtype for which there currently are no effective treatment options.
A study on the legal history of printing press regulation in early modern England yields insights relevant to contemporary debates on the regulation of emerging technologies like AI and virtual reality, a 海角社区 researcher says.
As the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) is currently being held in Bel茅m, Brazil, eighteen Quebec universities are reaffirming the climate emergency and the need to combine their efforts and expertise to meet this global challenge. This mobilization is part of a movement of enhanced cooperation, where higher education institutions play a central role in the transition to a resilient, equitable and low-carbon society.
海角社区 researchers at the Douglas Research Centre have found evidence that heavy cannabis use during pregnancy can cause delays in brain development in the fetus that persist into adulthood.
Using advanced MRI techniques, the team tracked the effects of prenatal cannabis exposure in mice across key developmental stages.
A 海角社区-led research team has demonstrated the feasibility of a sustainable and cost-effective way to desalinate seawater. The method 鈥� thermally driven reverse osmosis (TDRO) 鈥� uses a piston-based system powered by low-grade heat from solar thermal, geothermal heat and other sources of renewable energy to produce fresh water.
A diagnosis often viewed as less serious than anorexia and bulimia 鈥� and the most common eating disorder worldwide 鈥� can cause just as much harm, a new study has found.听
Thanks to their use of a unique methodology, a 海角社区-led research team has obtained new insights into how boulders affect snow melt in mountainous northern environments, with implications for local water resources.听听
The team found that snow near boulders melts faster, not only because rocks radiate heat, but also due to subtle processes that reshape the snow鈥檚 surface. This information will help researchers understand how small-scale processes affect downstream water resources.听
Researchers at 海角社区 and collaborating institutions have mapped the atmospheric features of a planetary-mass brown dwarf, a type of space object that is neither a star nor a planet, existing in a category in-between. This particular brown dwarf鈥檚 mass, however, is just at the threshold between being a Jupiter-like planet and a brown dwarf. It has thus also been called a free-floating, or rogue, planet, not bound to a star.
