🎉Congratulations to Xi Huang of The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) for his #Discovery in Developmental Cell, identifying genes promoting medulloblastoma growth, offering new therapeutic perspectives for children. 🔬 #Discovery #Research #Cancer

Exciting new study showing that the fatty acid Octanoic acid impacts breast epithelial cell metabolic-epigenetic crosstalk, priming cells towards an ERneg BC profile, along with a suspicious neural-like differentiation. Grateful to have played a small part! Congrats Mariana!

Huge congratulations to Daniel J Drucker his well deserved #breakthroughprize for his important work on GLP1 agonists that have led to drugs like Ozempic improving weight management & overall human health. Canadian research has so much to be proud of! 🇨🇦 ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/artic…

Do we want our children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews and their kids to see Barn Owls & the other 125 endangered species of ON? Then please help #StopBill5. It will shred the #EndangeredSpeciesAct. Leave a comment at the Environmental Registry by May 17: ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-0380 .

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. James Till, one of the fathers of stem cell science. His research alongside Dr. Ernest McCulloch at UHN's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre changed the course of cancer research and paved the way for regenerative medicine.

Saddened to hear of the death of legendary scientist Jim Till, at age 94. He was the co-discoverer of transplantable stem cells (with Ernest McCulloch), a discovery that revolutionized cancer treatment legacy.com/ca/obituaries/… cdnmedhall.ca/laureates/jame… via The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation Princess Margaret Cancer Centre .

UHN is grateful and honoured to have called Dr. James Till, one of the fathers of stem cell science, a valued member of TeamUHN. His many colleagues and students continue their work in his legacy, furthering stem cell science and cancer research, and improving patient care.

AACR Trailblazer Cancer Research Grants for Early-Stage Investigators provide $1 million over three years to support paradigm-shifting research. Projects may be exploratory, developmental, or proof of concept. Apply by June 12. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wSU1v

So excited to share this with you all!😃Rama Khokha and I revisit a core assumption in cancer biology: is tumour heterogeneity a reflection of disorganization? Our thoughts on how self-organization shapes tumour tissues, and why that matters for oncology: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Researchers Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa McGill University have found that promoting mitochondrial fusion in breast cancer cells – using an existing medication – slowed metastasis in pre-clinical models. These findings could help shape future therapies for aggressive breast cancers. cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/54379.html?h…
