A team led by the Université de Montréal, the Observatoire du Mont‑Mégantic (OMM) and the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx), in partnership with the University of British Columbia and ��Թ�, has been awarded nearly $11.3 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to support Canada’s contribution to ANDES, a flagship scientific instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) under construction in Chile.

Icing injuries may slow recovery and prolong pain, study finds

��Թ� — Wed, 13 May 2026 13:42:56 +0000

Icing a sprained ankle or sore muscle, long used to reduce pain and swelling, may in the longer run delay recovery and prolong pain, new research suggests.

In a preclinical study published in Anesthesiology, ��Թ� researchers found that even though cryotherapy (icing) eased pain in the short term, recovery time was more than doubled in some cases.

Discovery of fat-burning ‘switch’ could lead to advances in bone disease treatments

��Թ� — Tue, 12 May 2026 13:38:51 +0000

Scientists’ discovery of a molecular “switch” that activates an energy‑burning pathway in mice has the potential to lead to new treatments for bone disease.

The study, published in Nature, sheds new light on brown fat. Unlike white fat, which stores energy, brown fat cells burn calories, producing heat as a byproduct. For years, it was believed this process relied on a single pathway. More recently, researchers discovered a parallel pathway, but how it became activated remained a mystery.

��Թ� researchers’ sustainable construction method aims to improve earthquake safety

��Թ� — Mon, 11 May 2026 14:49:54 +0000

A promising new way to transplant cells could lead to a better treatment for Type 1 diabetes

��Թ� — Thu, 07 May 2026 15:04:12 +0000

Researchers at ��Թ� and the Research Institute of the ��Թ� Health Center (RI-MUHC) have developed a novel device to transplant insulin-producing cells that integrates directly with existing blood vessels in the body. The technology, which showed promising results in preclinical trials, aims to overcome key challenges of emerging long-term cell-based treatments for Type 1 diabetes. As well as serving as an artificial pancreas, it potentially could be used to replace or support the function of other organs.

Public education will be critical as provinces roll out new cervical cancer screening method, researchers say

��Թ� — Thu, 07 May 2026 13:37:38 +0000

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 Current Oncology, examined women’s preferences for cervical screening – including how they want to be screened and how they want information communicated – as Canada transitions from Pap tests to HPV testing.

Moderate UV light is best when it comes to boosting the vitamin D content of edible mushrooms, ��Թ� study finds

��Թ� — Mon, 04 May 2026 14:00:59 +0000

Researchers at ��Թ� have discovered that moderate ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is best when the technique is used to enhance vitamin D₂ in edible mushrooms. Excessive exposure leads to nutrient degradation or a plateau effect, they found. The paper also provides quantitative guidance.

The researchers’ work supports efforts to address vitamin D deficiency, which affects between 30 and 50 per cent of the world’s population, as well as enhance the nutritional value of mushrooms more broadly.

��Թ� researchers engineer faster, more effective blood clots

��Թ� — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:32:13 +0000

Researchers at ��Թ� have developed a rapid way to engineer blood clots that stop severe bleeding and support tissue healing more effectively. Their technique, called “click clotting,” 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.

��Թ� researchers’ novel device could boost the development of sound-based lasers

��Թ� — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:52:16 +0000

Unleashing natural killer cells against cancer

��Թ� — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:50:22 +0000

Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune system’s 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 ��Թ�’s Rosalind & Morris Goodman Cancer Institute, in collaboration with the Research Institute of the ��Թ� Health Centre, found that suppressing two specific proteins helps NK cells overcome this blockage, turning them into more potent cancer killers.

Only some kinds of job losses cause voters to elect strong leaders, study finds

��Թ� — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:57:47 +0000

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.

Study finds treating peanuts with cold plasma could make them less allergenic

��Թ� — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:16:33 +0000

Researchers at ��Թ� have found that briefly treating peanuts with cold plasma, an ionically charged gas that triggers chemical changes, reduces their potential to cause allergic reactions. The researchers say this is probably because the process causes changes to the protein structure, the part of the peanut that can trigger an immune response. The technology was also shown to improve functional properties important for food manufacturing.

Researchers identify new jellyfish species in fossils near Quebec City

��Թ� — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:37:27 +0000

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.

AI tool pinpoints cells driving aggressive cancers

��Թ� — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:47:49 +0000

��Թ� 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.

Internalization of homophobia and transphobia may undermine mental health benefits of religiosity or spirituality for LGBTQIA+ people, study finds

��Թ� — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 13:47:58 +0000

Researchers warn of risks posed by ‘contaminants of emerging concern’ found in crops, agricultural soil

��Թ� — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:16:17 +0000

A new international study offers insights into the health risks posed by crops’ absorption of “contaminants of emerging concern” (CECs) and flags knowledge gaps the authors say must be addressed.

CECs include pharmaceuticals, microplastics, engineered nanomaterials and PFAS (commonly known as “forever chemicals”). The researchers warn that even when present at very low concentrations, these chemicals can subtly alter plant physiology, disrupt soil health and pose wider environmental and human health risks.

Humans share acoustic preferences with other animals, study shows

��Թ� — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 18:18:52 +0000

A ��Թ�-led study has found that humans share acoustic preferences with other species, at least when it comes to animal calls. The results provide experimental evidence that shared sensory processing mechanisms may shape aesthetic judgments of sound.

New injectable gel could help repair damaged swallowing muscles

��Թ� — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:15:32 +0000

A new injectable gel developed by researchers at ��Թ� and Kyoto University could enable stem cell-based treatments for swallowing disorders.

Findings of ��Թ� study could lead to new longevity therapies and improved fall prevention

��Թ� — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:46:40 +0000

A new ��Թ� study has found a direct link between age‑related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is well known that these abilities diminish with age, this is the first research to pinpoint how changes in Purkinje cells – a key type of cerebellar neuron – drive this decline and translate into measurable changes in behaviour and physical function.

Colourism might help explain health inequities suffered by dark-skinned Black Americans, researchers say

��Թ� — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 19:24:38 +0000

A study of Black Americans is among the first to show how the internalization of negative messages about dark skin tones could be linked to harms to health.

Researchers found that Black Americans who are, or perceive themselves to be, dark skinned show clear markers of cellular aging associated with immune-system damage and also score lower on a measurement of self-worth. Cellular aging and low self-worth are both associated with relatively poor health outcomes.

Engineered nanoparticles could deliver better targeted cancer treatment

Plants retain a ‘genetic memory’ of past population crashes, study shows

��Թ� — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 14:32:55 +0000

Researchers at ��Թ� and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of that history, such as reduced genetic diversity. Because genetic diversity helps species adapt to climate change, disease and other stresses, the study suggests it is vital to consider a population’s history-influenced genetics alongside its size and habitat in conservation planning.

Economic, educational and gender inequities can contribute to problematic social media use among teens, findings suggest

��Թ� — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:42:44 +0000

A new ��Թ� study suggests that problematic social media use among teens is in part related to broader social inequalities.

Zékai Lu, a PhD student in ��Թ�’s Department of Sociology and author of the study, had set out to determine whether problematic social media use is driven mainly by individual traits or whether the social environment of the country a teen lives in also plays a significant role.

People can learn to reject unfair advantages, even when it costs them

��Թ� — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:32:11 +0000

A new study co-authored by ��Թ� researchers suggests people can be taught to reject unfair advantages.

“We often benefit personally from an unequal distribution of resources, a phenomenon known as advantageous inequity – for example, receiving a higher salary than a colleague with the identical role,” said senior author Ross Otto, a psychology professor. “Here we ask whether people can learn to punish advantageous inequity merely by observing the inequity-averse preferences of another person.”

Addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment of childhood sexual abuse survivors, researchers suggest

��Թ� — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:43:35 +0000

A ��Թ�-led study on the role played by shame in the continuing trauma suffered by survivors of childhood sexual abuse indicates that addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment. Clinicians should use strategies that normalize disclosure, validate survivors’ feelings and integrate shame-resolution techniques into their therapy plans, the researchers suggested.

Study suggests protein made in the liver is a key factor in men’s bone health

��Թ� — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:01:37 +0000

New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males.

A ��Թ�-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone growth in male mice, but not in females. The findings may help explain why men with liver disease are more likely to experience bone loss.

��Թ� researchers develop quick test that stands to curb antimicrobial resistance

��Թ� — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:48:47 +0000

��Թ� researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria –and determining which antibiotics can stop them – in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.

The researchers say this innovation arrives at a critical moment due to the urgency of the AMR crisis, which arises from bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics.

Pathological lying in teens is associated with executive function deficits, study indicates

��Թ� — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 14:17:11 +0000

Night owl or early bird? Study finds sleep categories aren’t that simple

��Թ� — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:05:32 +0000

The familiar labels “night owl” and “early bird,” long used in sleep research, don’t fully capture the diversity of human internal clocks, a new study has found.

The ��Թ�-led study published in Nature Communications found the two sleep-wake patterns, called chronotypes, contain a total of five distinct biological subtypes, each associated with different patterns of behaviour and health.

Hippocampus does more than store memories: it predicts rewards, study finds

��Թ� — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 13:58:01 +0000

A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes.

A rich social environment is associated with better cognitive health outcomes for older adults, study finds

��Թ� — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 14:22:59 +0000

Research by an interdisciplinary team from ��Թ� and Université Laval provides new insights into the links between social factors and cognitive health among aging adults.

While previous research had found positive correlations between specific measures of social connectedness and a variety of health outcomes, this study appears to have been the first to create profiles aggregating multiple social factors and to see how those correlated with cognitive health in older adults, the researchers said.

In polar regions, microbes are influencing climate change as frozen ecosystems thaw, ��Թ� review finds

��Թ� — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:35:08 +0000
