You’d never guess how many life forms thrive on a cheese. Yet that’s where all the flavour comes from! Steve Labrie explores the microscopic world of cheeses and maps the genes of the bacteria and fungi that proliferate on their surface – all in aid of helping the cheesemaking industry improve its products. Listen to professor Steve Labrie from the Institute of nutrition and functional foods of Université Laval, talk [...]

A team of researchers led by Prof. Barry Posner of McGill University’s Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism have now, for the first time, been able to show that in order to assure the ongoing supply of amino acids needed for new protein synthesis, growth factors also stimulate a coordinated or regulated increase in protein breakdown within cells to generate free amino acids. The cells in our bodies are involved in [...]

New evidence suggests that a stalled development of certain key cells may be the root of aggressive pediatric brain tumors. That is what a research team led by Nada Jabado, of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC), together with Michael Taylor, of the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and Claudia Kleinman, a researcher at the Lady Davis Institute at the Jewish General Hospital discovered. The results [...]
