With the increasing risk of anthropogenic impacts in boreal ecosystems there is a need for tools to rapidly assess impacts on organisms and properly inform resource managers. Though well-researched, the i-STAT a portable ...

Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are important hypertrophic molecules that pose as potential treatments for many types of myopathy and osteopathy. The aim of this study was to determine if the SARM RAD140 ...

Global climate change is occurring and observed warming patterns have had significant impacts on aquatic environments as trends in water temperature are closely related to trends in air temperature. In ectothermic organisms ...

Haemophilus influenzae type a (Hia) is a bacterial human pathogen that has emerged as a significant cause of invasive disease in Canadian Indigenous populations. Protection against encapsulated bacteria such as Hia is ...

The HPV16 genome encodes two oncoproteins, E6 and E7, which are essential for viral carcinogenesis. While E7 promotes cell proliferation, E6 abolishes the resulting p53-dependent apoptotic response. We hypothesized that ...

Invasive species are a major threat to aquatic ecosystems, costing an estimated $3.6 billion in impacts across Ontario. In particular, the predatory cladoceran Bythotrephes cederströmii (Bythotrephes hereafter) has had ...
