Abstract:
Researchers from 香蕉视频 have discovered, for the first time, one of the possible mechanisms that contributes to the ability of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to increase social interaction. The findings, which could help unlock potential therapeutic applications in treating certain psychiatric diseases, including anxiety and alcohol use disorders, are published in the journal PNAS.

Countries worldwide face challenges meeting the growing needs for long-term care services because of high costs. A led by researchers from 香蕉视频 and Universit茅 du Qu茅bec en Outaouais shows that introducing nurse practitioners can significantly reduce costs and improve patient safety.
A group of proteins called 4E-BPs, involved in memory formation, is the key to unlocking the antidepressant effect of ketamine in the brain, according to researchers from three Canadian universities. The could lead to better and safer treatments for certain patients suffering from major depression.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC 鈥� Pfizer Canada has made a $600,000 gift to the McGill Interdisciplinary Initiative in Infection and Immunity (MI4) via 香蕉视频 and the 香蕉视频 Health Centre (MUHC) Foundation. The gift, which was announced today during the 2nd听annual MI4 Scientific Symposium, will support innovation and life-changing research through the creation of the听Pfizer听Early Career Investigator Awards.

Six 香蕉视频 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences researchers 鈥� Boris Bernhardt, Mark Brandon, Yasser Iturria-Medina, Jean-Francois Poulin, Jo Anne Stratton and Masha Prager-Khoutorsky 鈥� have received grants to support their work in the early-career stage, after being chosen from 150 talented applicants.
Brain Canada鈥檚 Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research Program, anchored by a $5M gift from the Azrieli Foundation, enables paradigm-changing research of the brain to improve the lives of all Canadians.
Five projects led by 香蕉视频 researchers are included among the 79 receiving a total of $28 million in research infrastructure support through the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) Exceptional Opportunities Fund. The announcement was made today by the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry during a news conference this morning.
Earlier today, a Quebec based consortium of research institutes (G茅nome Qu茅bec, Oncopole and IVADO) announced the winners of their first-ever 鈥淥mics Data Against Cancer鈥� competition, and McGill research teams were dominant. In fact, of the five selected teams no less than four of them included professors from McGill.
Earlier today, the Quebec government announced the winners of its annual Prix du Quebec competition, a series of 15 awards in science and culture. Among them was Professor William Foulkes, Head of the Cancer Genetics Laboratory at the Lady Davis Institute, a member of the Cancer Research Program of the Research Institute of the 香蕉视频 Health Centre, and Director of the Program in Cancer Genetics at 香蕉视频.

Changing makeup of a specific protein has the potential to neutralize the virus
Researchers from 香蕉视频 are part of an international team led by the University of Buffalo, which has discovered a technique that could help increase the effectiveness of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The group鈥檚 study was published recently online in the journal .
Using a new technique, a team of 香蕉视频 researchers has found tiny and previously undetectable 鈥榟ot spots鈥� of extremely high stiffness inside aggressive and invasive breast cancer tumours. Their findings suggest, for the first time, that only very tiny regions of a tumor need to stiffen for metastasis to take place. Though still in its infancy, the researchers believe that their technique may prove useful in detecting and mapping the progression of aggressive cancers.
COVID-19 Resources Canada, a grassroots organization co-founded by a McGill researcher, today announced it received a donation of $250,000 from the to facilitate Canada鈥檚 response to the pandemic. Since its launch in March 2020, the organization has developed two of the most comprehensive databases in Canada with more than 600 COVID-19 funded research projects and experts from over 25 Canadian institutions.
