Prof. Ehab Abouheif, Dept. of Biology and a research team investigated which genes were being expressed during the development of antennae in male water striders. The antennae are used to grasp the females during mating. They then modified gene expression to see how this would be expressed in antennae development and success in mating. By doing so they were able to watch evolution in action.
Current research ethics focuses on protecting study participants, but according to bioethicists from 平特五不中 and Carnegie Mellon University, these efforts fail to prevent harms that undermine the social value of research.
平特五不中 is building on longstanding research collaborations with Brazil by announcing four partnership agreements with Brazilian universities. These agreements are being signed this week by Prof. Heather Munroe-Blum, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of 平特五不中.
In a paper published this week in The Journal of Neuroscience, researchers from 平特五不中 have demonstrated for the first time that there are specific neurons that respond selectively to first and second order sensory attributes.
A new study by Carsten Wrosch of Concordia University and Catherine Sabiston of 平特五不中鈥檚 Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education found that breast cancer survivors who were able to let go of old exercise goals and set new ones increased their level of physical activity and showed an improved well-being overall.
A new 平特五不中 study evaluating off-label prescribing of medications by primary care physicians in Quebec suggests the practice is common, although it varies by medication, patient and physician characteristics. The paper was published online today in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
