Researchers at the University of Toronto have shown that loss of a key protein in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) may contribute to the underlying cause of both diseases. The protein, known as C9orf72 (C9) and expressed by a gene with the same name, affects movement of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in the neurons affected in ALS and FTD, the researchers found.
MRNA-based delivery tech for gene editing in the lungs
A team of researchers, including Bowen Li from the University of Toronto's Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, has developed a new lipid nanoparticle with potential to deliver gene editing tools to cells in the lung - a promising step toward developing new, inhalable therapies for lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis.

Kids’ sleep apnea is under-diagnosed
One of the most common respiratory problems in children, obstructive sleep apnea can seriously affect development if left untreated. UdeM researcher Nelly Huynh focuses on prevention and screening. We often hear about sleep apnea in adults, but in children? Actually, pediatric obstructive sleep apnea is far from rare: 1 to 5 per cent of children are estimated to suffer from it, making it one of the most common respiratory problems in children.

Cryoblation results may lead to revised treatment of atrial fibrillation. A study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrates the long-term effectiveness of a procedure used to treat the most common form of abnormal heart rhythm, atrial fibrillation. This evidence and the conclusions of previous studies, which demonstrated the safety and medium-term effectiveness of this procedure, could lead to a revision of the recommendations concerning the treatment of atrial fibrillation, and thus allow a greater number of people to benefit from its advantages.
University of Toronto researcher Amanda Cook has found a way to use bright signals coming from across the universe to weigh the atmosphere of the Milky Way galaxy. The radio signals she used come from the astronomical phenomenon known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) - enigmatic celestial objects that generate brief flashes of radio waves and are considered one of the biggest mysteries in astronomy.
Waterloo researchers develop new AI technology to examine data on food and fluids consumed in LTC homes A detailed analysis of consumed food showed there is a need to improve diets in long-term care (LTC) homes to make them healthier for residents. The analysis found that eating more whole grains, plant-based proteins, and plain fruits and vegetables would help residents meet government guidelines and reduce their risk of inflammation.
Young people who compete in sports are often organized into single-sex teams that compete separately. But what happens when youth have the opportunity to compete together? A group of researchers from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education (KPE) set out to find out whether mixed teams provide girls with more opportunities to advance and compete in sports - and if they help dispel stereotypes and contribute to mutually respectful relationships.
Does immigration really increase crime?
Study shows that migrants don't cause crime rates to increase but false perceptions endure Many people who oppose immigration say that it increases crime. But does immigration really affect crime? Studying a country whose proportion of migrants has tripled in less than ten years, researchers find immigration significantly impacts people's perceptions of crime but has no effect on actual crime.

The importance of knowledge translation in health care
Waterloo Pharmacy professor and doctoral candidate invited to discuss recent research findings in Neurology By Milana Madzarac School of Pharmacy In an age of misinformation, knowledge translation (KT) is an increasingly important way to communicate research to the audiences who need it. Knowledge translation links the creation of knowledge from research areas to real-world situations.

High levels of ’forever chemicals’ found in paper takeout containers: Study
From makeup to clothing and furniture, so-called "forever chemicals" are everywhere - including the paper bowls and containers used to package Canadian fast-food meals.

Students who played sports before the pandemic did better during lockdowns
Participating in campus recreational sports can offset stress and contribute to academic competence A history of participating in campus recreational sports can offset stress and contribute to academic competence even during high-stress periods such as a pandemic lockdown, shows a new study. Researchers at the University of Waterloo found that participation in activities such as fitness classes and intramural and drop-in sports before the pandemic was linked to lower levels of stress and higher levels of perceived competence to handle challenges and master school workload during the lockdown.

Six Waterloo researchers lend their expertise to the UN IPCC climate report
New report defines our understanding of the climate crisis and shapes our sustainable future Waterloo Climate Institute and Faculty of Environment After a six-year process, the leading world body for the assessment of climate change, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has released their final Synthesis Report that summarizes what we know about climate change and how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Making public transportation more equitable and sustainable
Pantonium's on-demand transit model is helping cities accelerate their energy transition By Stephanie Longeway University Relations Have you ever seen an empty bus drive by? It can be a common occurrence especially during off-peak hours or in less populated areas. Making transit equitable and convenient for everyone while balancing the needs to be efficient and sustainable can lead to difficult decisions for municipalities.

How well species can move among habitat -islands- in human transformed landscapes is key to their survival, study finds When natural habitats are cleared to make way for cities, roads and agriculture, this often leaves behind -islands- of fragmented habitat that can place species at risk of extinction.
Science, Health & Technology Lou Corpuz-Bosshart Engineers at the University of British Columbia have developed a new water treatment that removes "forever chemicals" from drinking water safely, efficiently - and for good. "Think Brita filter, but a thousand times better," says UBC chemical and biological engineering Madjid Mohseni , who developed the technology.
How the brain’s ’internal compass’ works
Scientists have gained new insights into the part of the brain that gives us a sense of direction, by tracking neural activity with the latest advances in brain imaging techniques. The findings shed light on how the brain orients itself in changing environments - and even the processes that can go wrong with degenerative diseases like dementia, that leave people feeling lost and confused.

Western study finds co-infection with 'superbug' bacteria increases SARS-CoV-2 replication The study identifies a common protein from the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria boosts SARS-CoV-2 replication up to 15 times By Prabhjot Sohal , March 20, 2023 By Prabhjot Sohal , March 20, 2023 Global data shows nearly 10 per cent of severe COVID-19 cases involve a secondary bacterial co-infection – with Staphylococcus aureus, also known as Staph A.
"If you pick a spot in, say, a rainforest, and count the number of different species of lizards within 15 metres and you come up with a number," says Luke Mahler , "What determines that number?"
