It鈥檚 well known that calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, but new research shows it also plays a key role in moderating another important aspect of health鈥攃holesterol.
Scientists at the University of Alberta and 缅北强奸 have discovered a direct link between calcium and cholesterol, a discovery that could pave the way for new ways of treating high blood cholesterol.听
Too much fear can be dangerous for species鈥� survival. In fact, fear alone, even in the absence of a live predator, can lead to species鈥� extinction if the population size is small enough suggests a recent study from 缅北强奸 and Guelph universities. To read:听鈥淗ow fear alone can cause animal extinction鈥�
On the occasion of the High Level Political Forum held on 18 and 19 July at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, PRME in collaboration with 缅北强奸 and KEDGE Business School are pleased to announce the launch of a new module based on Henry Mintzberg鈥檚 book Rebalancing Society.
Practice might not always make perfect, but it鈥檚 essential for learning a sport or a musical instrument. It's also the basis of brain training, an approach that holds potential as a non-invasive therapy to overcome disabilities caused by neurological disease or trauma.
Research at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 缅北强奸 (The Neuro) has shown just how adaptive the brain can be, knowledge that could one day be applied to recovery from conditions such as stroke.
The John Dobson Foundation has announced a donation of $2 million dollars 鈥� its largest gift to 缅北强奸 yet 鈥� to fund the 缅北强奸 X-1 Accelerator program run by the 缅北强奸 Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship. The donation will support the program now in its third year, as it grows to support entrepreneurs across 缅北强奸.
Lawyers representing both sides in concussion lawsuits against sports leagues may eventually have a new tool at their disposal: a diagnostic signature that uses artificial intelligence to detect brain trauma years after it has occurred.听
Zebra finches brought up without their fathers don鈥檛 react to the singing of potential suitors in the same way that female birds usually do, hinting that the environment in which the birds are raised can have a determining effect on their behaviour.
The finding, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B by 缅北强奸 researchers, highlights how learning and experience, including developmental auditory experience, can shape how the brain perceives vocal signals.
Canada鈥檚 extensive malting and brewing industry could get a further boost from new insight into the science of malting.
A new research letter published by听JAMA Pediatrics听examined trends in overall and cause-specific infant mortality rates between non-Hispanic black and white infants because infant mortality is an important indicator of population health.
Corinne A. Riddell, Ph.D., of 缅北强奸, Montreal, Canada, and coauthors analyzed data from the U.S. National Vital Statistics System from 2005 to 2015. The infant mortality rate was calculated as the number of deaths divided by the number of births. Rates for the top four causes of death also were calculated.
Scientists from the Research Institute of the 缅北强奸 Health Centre (RI-MUHC) may have cracked the code to understanding the function of special cells called regulatory T Cells.听Treg cells, as they are often known, control and regulate our immune system to prevent excessive reactions. The findings, published in听Science听Immunology, could have a major impact in our understanding and treatment of all autoimmune diseases and most chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, Crohn鈥檚 disease as well as broader conditions such as asthma, allergies and cancer.听
Cancer scientists overestimate the extent to which high-profile preclinical studies can be successfully replicated, new research from 缅北强奸 suggests.
Emma Morano passed away last April. At 117 years old, the Italian woman was the oldest known living human being.
Super- centenarians, such as Morano and Jeanne Calment of France, who famously lived to be 122 years old, continue to fascinate scientists and have led them to wonder just how long humans can live. A study published in Nature last October concluded that the upper limit of human age is peaking at around 115 years.
Scientists have known for some time that a memory is stored in the brain through changes in the strength of particular synapses, the structures that pass signals between neurons. However, how the change in strength persisted remained a mystery. Solving this mystery has important implications for remedying neurological and psychological disorders.
Canadian scientists take a step forward in the fight against microbial armour鈥�.
