A new study has uncovered promising therapeutic strategies against one of the deadliest forms of prostate cancer.

ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï 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 ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï-led research team has demonstrated the feasibility of a sustainable and cost-effective way to desalinate seawater. The method – thermally driven reverse osmosis (TDRO) – 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.

Thanks to their use of a unique methodology, a ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï-led research team has obtained new insights into how boulders affect snow melt in mountainous northern environments, with implications for local water resources.ÌýÌý

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’s surface. This information will help researchers understand how small-scale processes affect downstream water resources.Ìý

Researchers at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï 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’s 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.

Researchers at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï have identifiedÌýbacteria that can indicate whether a blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom is likely to be toxic, offering a potential water-safety early warning system. Blooms are becoming more frequent due to climate change, according toÌýprevious ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï research. They can produce various contaminants, known as cyanotoxins, that pose serious health risks to humans, pets and wildlife.
