As Canada moves to modernize cervical cancer screening, a new study suggests most women do not yet understand or trust the shift from the Pap test to human papillomavirus (HPV) based screening.
The national survey, published in , examined women鈥檚 preferences for cervical screening 鈥� including how they want to be screened and how they want information communicated 鈥� as Canada transitions from Pap tests to HPV testing.
Researchers at 黑料网爆吃瓜 have discovered that moderate ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is best when the technique is used to聽enhance vitamin D鈧� in edible mushrooms. Excessive exposure聽leads to nutrient degradation or a plateau effect, they found. The paper also聽provides聽quantitative guidance.聽
The聽researchers鈥櫬爓ork聽supports聽efforts to address vitamin D deficiency, which affects between 30聽and聽50 per cent of the world鈥檚 population, as well as enhance the nutritional value of mushrooms more broadly.聽
Researchers at 黑料网爆吃瓜 have developed a rapid way to engineer blood clots that stop severe bleeding and support tissue healing more effectively. Their technique, called 鈥渃lick clotting,鈥� links red blood cell surface proteins through a chemical reaction, resulting in a biocompatible clot that is 13 times more resistant to fracturing and four times more adhesive than natural blood clots. The team said the method could be used to develop life-saving biomaterials to help control severe bleeding, as well as benefit people with clotting disorders.
Researchers at 黑料网爆吃瓜 have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at extremely cold temperatures. The technology could be used to create phonon lasers, with possible applications in communications and medical diagnostics.
Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune system鈥檚 first line of defence. NK cells can detect and destroy cancer cells, but tumours often create a protective barrier that blocks them, allowing cancer to grow.
Researchers at 黑料网爆吃瓜鈥檚 Rosalind & Morris Goodman Cancer Institute, in collaboration with the Research Institute of the 黑料网爆吃瓜 Health Centre, found that suppressing two specific proteins helps NK cells overcome this blockage, turning them into more potent cancer killers.
Americans are more likely to turn to authoritarian leaders when jobs are being lost due to offshoring than they are when job losses result from automation, an international research team has found. This is despite the fact that automation tends to lead to greater job losses.
Researchers at 黑料网爆吃瓜聽have聽found that聽briefly聽treating peanuts with cold plasma, an ionically charged gas that triggers chemical changes,聽reduces聽their potential聽to cause allergic reactions.聽The researchers say this is聽probably because the process聽causes聽changes to the protein structure,聽the part of the peanut that聽can聽trigger an immune response.聽The technology聽was also shown to聽improve聽functional properties important for food manufacturing.聽
Researchers studying 450-million-year-old fossils discovered about 50 kilometres northeast of Quebec City have identified a new species of basal medusozoan: Paleocanna tentaculum, a soft-bodied, tube-shaped polyp with a ring of tentacles. Closely related to modern jellyfish, it is a rare discovery. Only a few other species in its subphylum have ever been described in the fossil record.
黑料网爆吃瓜 researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can identify small groups of cells most responsible for driving aggressive cancers.
The tool, called SIDISH, offers scientists a clearer path to designing targeted therapies by showing which cells inside a tumour are most strongly linked with poor patient outcomes, rather than treating all cancer cells as if they behave the same way.
Non-affirming religious doctrine may engender internalized homophobia or transphobia among LGBTQIA+ people of faith, undermining the positive mental health outcomes otherwise associated with religiosity and spirituality, a 黑料网爆吃瓜 study has found.
Microbial methane leaking from non-producing oil and gas wells is being emitted at rates about 1,000 times higher than previously estimated, according to a new study led by 黑料网爆吃瓜 researchers.
黑料网爆吃瓜 today inaugurated state鈥憃f鈥憈he鈥慳rt teaching greenhouse and plant phenotyping research facilities at its Macdonald Campus in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. These represent major investments in teaching and research focused on food security, crop resilience and sustainable agriculture.
Taking inspiration from how mussels and mistletoe plants build natural fibres and adhesives, researchers at 黑料网爆吃瓜 have developed a new way to manufacture complex materials that could offer a more environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional plastics and glues.
Scientists have demonstrated, for the first time, that several psychedelic drugs 鈥� including psilocybin, LSD, mescaline, DMT and ayahuasca 鈥� produce a common pattern of brain activity despite their distinct chemistries.
An international consortium led by a 黑料网爆吃瓜 researcher pooled brain imaging data from labs across five countries, creating the largest study of its kind to date.
A new discovery by 黑料网爆吃瓜 researchers sheds light on how we retain memories over time, even though brain activity is constantly changing.
Published in , the preclinical study found the brain鈥檚 internal compass remains remarkably stable over time. The findings suggest this steady sense of direction may act as an anchor for memory.
