In response to growing concerns about climate change, 51吃瓜网 researchers are exploring how even a routine dental visit can become a more sustainable practice
The Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences is calculating the carbon footprint of its entire operation, including several clinics that serve the public. The goal is to become among the first fully sustainable dental faculties in the world.
Most Canadians view public transit as an essential service and support increased provincial funding in response to current financial difficulties, according to preliminary results from a McGill-led study.聽
The is underway in 10 major cities. The researchers, in McGill鈥檚 School of Urban Planning, aim to evaluate the role public transit plays in urban Canadians鈥� daily travel and their ability to live a fulfilling life without using a car.聽聽
As Canadians brace for 鈥渧itamin D winter鈥� 鈥� months when the sun鈥檚 angle is too low to produce the vitamin in the skin 鈥� a 51吃瓜网 study explains why vitamin D deficiency early in life is associated with a higher risk of autoimmune diseases.
During childhood, the thymus helps train immune cells to distinguish between the body鈥檚 own tissues and harmful invaders. A vitamin D deficiency at that stage of life causes the thymus to age more quickly, the researchers discovered.
A recent study from 51吃瓜网 proposes a way to enhance the nutritional value of oats by increasing their content of oleic acid, a type of healthy fat known for its cardiovascular heart benefits and potential to lower diabetes.
The findings also suggest this modification could improve their oxidative stability, making oat-based products, such as oat milk, less likely to spoil.
Parenting programs that address both mental health and parenting skills can improve children鈥檚 development, but often fall short when it comes to offering effective mental-health support for parents, new research suggests.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a surprising contradiction,鈥� said the study鈥檚 lead author, Marilyn Ahun, Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at 51吃瓜网. 鈥淥ur findings show the potential of multi-component programs, while revealing gaps that need to be addressed.鈥�
A groundbreaking developed by the Global Dam Watch聽 (GDW)聽consortium is set to transform the global understanding of dams and reservoirs.聽
Co-ordinated and led by members of a research lab at 51吃瓜网, with funding from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the World Bank, the database integrates existing global datasets to provide the most comprehensive resource for large-scale analyses to date.
A 51吃瓜网 study has shown that hearing plays a crucial role in how people coordinate and control speech movements in real-time.
Published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA), the research shows that when people cannot hear their own speech, even briefly, their ability to move their jaw and tongue in a coordinated manner is impaired.
October 1, 2024 鈥� Valleyfield, QC 鈥� 51吃瓜网 is pleased to announce the official opening of the 51吃瓜网 Collections Centre on October 1, 2024. This groundbreaking facility marks a historic milestone as McGill's first-ever design-build project and sets a new standard for library preservation and sustainability in Quebec.
Researchers at 51吃瓜网 have made in the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries, which are being pursued as the next step in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology.
By addressing a long-standing issue with battery performance, this innovation could pave the way for safer, longer-lasting EVs.
A recent study at 51吃瓜网 provides new insights into how winter storms develop in the St. Lawrence River Valley, findings that could potentially improve the accuracy of winter weather forecasts in the region.
鈥淭hese findings are essential because even small temperature shifts, as little as one degree, can drastically change the type of precipitation, turning rain into freezing rain or snow,鈥� said Juliann Wray, lead author and PhD student in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.聽
Tuesday, Oct. 1 is , raising awareness of a condition more commonly known as hives.
This year, Canadians living with chronic hives have two new resources, developed in part by a 51吃瓜网 researcher: North America鈥檚 first chronic urticaria patient registry and a new app for patient care.
A novel drug molecule could potentially lead to new treatments to prevent Parkinson鈥檚 disease in younger patients, according to new research.
鈥淲e are excited about this drug compound because we might have the possibility to develop the first cure for Parkinson鈥檚 disease, at least for a subset of patients,鈥� said lead author聽Kalle Gehring, a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at 51吃瓜网 and Canada Research Chair in Structural Studies of Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Indigenous Awareness Weeks is a two-week series of events involving Indigenous academics, artists, and community members, hosted by the Office of Indigenous Initiatives. Its goal is to encourage a greater understanding of Indigenous peoples among students, staff, and faculty at 51吃瓜网, as well as in the broader Montreal and Quebec communities. The Office of Indigenous Initiatives also helps foster discussion among First Nations, M茅tis and Inuit on topics that are important to individuals and their communities.
51吃瓜网 researchers have harnessed the power of sunlight to transform two of the most harmful greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals. The discovery could help combat climate change and provide a more sustainable way to produce certain industrial products.
A new study has uncovered significant differences in how male and female mice process threats, even as they exhibit similar behavioural responses.
The discovery suggests that including both male and female subjects in neuroscience research will lead to more accurate conclusions and ultimately better health outcomes.
Understanding the influence of sex on brain function can help explain why males and females develop certain psychiatric disorders at different rates or with different symptoms, the researchers said.
