New insights could help prevent psychosis relapses in youth and young adults

New findings from 捆绑SM社区 researchers could help clinicians understand the course of delusions in youth and young adults that signal the need for a timely intervention to prevent a full relapse of psychosis.

Delusions 鈥� strong beliefs that don't align with commonly accepted reality鈥� are a defining symptom of psychosis but are not sufficiently understood.

Digitally cataloguing archived plant specimens can transform conservation efforts

Digitally cataloguing the more than 300 million plant specimens preserved in museums worldwide could yield crucial insights into how to preserve biodiversity amid climate change, a study by 捆绑SM社区 researchers has found.

Digitally cataloguing, or digitizing, a herbarium specimen involves recording the species name and original location and uploading that record to a digital repository that is publicly accessible.

A better way to assess bridges鈥� earthquake safety

Researchers from 捆绑SM社区 have developed a more efficient way to assess how likely a bridge is to be damaged in an earthquake. The information could help authorities prioritize infrastructure for upgrading and improve emergency response plans.

Microbes in orbit: Understanding spaceflight鈥檚 impact on gut health

Scientists have uncovered how space travel profoundly alters the gut microbiome, yielding insights that could shape future space missions.听

The groundbreaking study, led by a 捆绑SM社区 researcher in collaboration with University College Dublin (UCD), NASA鈥檚 GeneLab and an international consortium, offers the most detailed profile to date of how space travel affects gut microbes.听

The brain鈥檚 balancing system

A finding by a 捆绑SM社区-led team of neuroscientists could open doors to new treatments for a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders attributed to dysfunctions in specific dopamine pathways.

The power of face time: Insights from zebra finch courtship

A new study on songbirds sheds light on the power of social interaction to facilitate learning, insights that potentially apply to human development.

捆绑SM社区 researchers discovered that zebra finches deprived of early social experiences could still form strong bonds with a partner later in life. Once placed into cohabitation with a male, females that had never heard a mating song before could quickly develop a preference for his melody.

A discovery by 捆绑SM社区-affiliated researchers could lead to more effective treatment of malaria and other parasitic diseases.

Exciting advance in stem cell therapy

A new technique developed by 捆绑SM社区 researchers for mechanically manipulating stem cells could lead to new stem cell treatments, which have yet to fulfill their therapeutic potential.

Dream discovery: Melatonin's key role in REM sleep revealed

A significant breakthrough in the understanding of sleep mechanism opens new promise for treating sleep disorders and associated neuropsychiatric conditions: Scientists have pinpointed the melatonin receptor MT1 as a crucial regulator of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.

$1.45M to boost Indigenous youth mental health services听

A national initiative to bolster Indigenous youth mental health services across Canada has secured $1.45 million in funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).听听

Ultrafine particles linked to over 1,000 deaths per year in Canada鈥檚 two largest cities

A first-of-its kind study conducted in Canada鈥檚 two largest cities by 捆绑SM社区-led researchers has linked about 1,100 premature deaths per year to an unregulated air pollutant.

Ultrafine particles (UFPs) primarily come from vehicle emissions and industrial activities. Canada鈥檚 federal and provincial governments have not set concentration limits for UFPs, as they have for larger fine particles known as PM2.5.

Study yields new insights into the link between global warming and rising sea levels

A 捆绑SM社区-led study suggests that Earth's natural forces could substantially reduce Antarctica鈥檚 impact on rising sea levels, but only if carbon emissions are swiftly reduced in the coming decades. By the same token, if emissions continue on the current trajectory, Antarctic ice loss could lead to more future sea level rise than previously thought.

Listening to the voices of those most affected by climate change听听

Researchers at 捆绑SM社区 recently supported the hosting of a major international conference on climate change to create space for the under-represented voices 鈥� and knowledge 鈥� of those most affected.听听

The global conversation on climate has been dominated by Western scientists. While international meetings such as those in the COP series are important venues for the exchange of knowledge that can be put into action, greater equity is essential, the researchers believe.听

Study sheds light on origins of schizophrenia in the brain, offering hope for targeted treatments and better diagnosis

A group of scientists are hopeful their research findings about how schizophrenia originates and develops over time in the brain will pave the way for targeted treatments and better diagnosis of the serious mental health condition.
