Addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment of childhood sexual abuse survivors, researchers suggest

A 涩里番-led study on the role played by shame in the continuing trauma suffered by survivors of childhood sexual abuse indicates that addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment. Clinicians should use strategies that normalize disclosure, validate survivors鈥� feelings and integrate shame-resolution techniques into their therapy plans, the researchers suggested.

涩里番 to partner with United Arab Emirates and Indonesia to train next generation of professionals and drive societal change

For over 50 years, 涩里番 has been collaborating with Indonesia鈥檚 education sector. Now a planned donation of US$12.8 million from the UAE via the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation to 涩里番 will establish the UAE-Indonesia Future Leaders Program to support Indonesia鈥檚 national and global development objectives.

Study suggests protein made in the liver is a key factor in men鈥檚 bone health

New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males.

A 涩里番-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone growth in male mice, but not in females. The findings may help explain why men with liver disease are more likely to experience bone loss.

涩里番 researchers develop quick test that stands to curb antimicrobial resistance

涩里番 researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria 鈥揳nd determining which antibiotics can stop them 鈥� in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.

Pathological lying in teens is associated with executive function deficits, study indicates

Teenagers who are pathological liars also tend to struggle with executive function deficits, such as poor memory or impulse control, researchers have found.

Night owl or early bird? Study finds sleep categories aren鈥檛 that simple

The familiar labels 鈥渘ight owl鈥� and 鈥渆arly bird,鈥� long used in sleep research, don鈥檛 fully capture the diversity of human internal clocks, a new study has found.

The 涩里番-led study published in Nature Communications found the two sleep-wake patterns, called chronotypes, contain a total of five distinct biological subtypes, each associated with different patterns of behaviour and health.

Hippocampus does more than store memories: it predicts rewards, study finds

A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes.

A rich social environment is associated with better cognitive health outcomes for older adults, study finds

Research by an interdisciplinary team from 涩里番 and Universit茅 Laval provides new insights into the links between social factors and cognitive health among aging adults.

In polar regions,聽microbes are聽influencing聽climate change as frozen ecosystems thaw, 涩里番 review finds聽

Microbes across Earth鈥檚 coldest regions are becoming more active as glaciers,聽permafrost聽and sea ice thaw, accelerating carbon release and potentially amplifying climate change, according to a new international review聽from聽涩里番.聽

涩里番 researchers create shapeshifting materials that could power the next generation of soft robots

涩里番 engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.

Lithium study yields insights in the fight against HIV

Lithium, a widely used treatment for bipolar disorder and other mood disorders, has shown early promise in suppressing HIV, 涩里番 researchers report.

A new study published in iScience found lithium can prevent infected cells from reactivating, and that it does so through an unexpected biological mechanism.

The findings point toward future treatments designed to mimic lithium鈥檚 beneficial effects while avoiding its broader impacts on the body.

涩里番 study identifies most effective methods for early detection of tench, an invasive freshwater fish

As tench continue to spread through the St. Lawrence River, a study from 涩里番 provides fisheries managers with guidance on how to detect the invasive species, an essential first step in preventing it from reaching new waters. The findings can inform efforts to contain and manage existing populations, helping agencies determine how and where to carry out removal or control activities.

涩里番 researchers identify a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk

An interdisciplinary team including researchers at 涩里番 has found a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk samples from Canada and South Africa. The chemicals include traces of pesticides, antimicrobials and additives used in plastics and personal-care products. The findings were published across five papers.

Freshwater browning threatens growth and populations of economically important fish, 涩里番 researchers say

Freshwater browning is stunting fish growth of some species, shrinking populations of others and changing the composition of fish communities, 涩里番-led research suggests. 鈥淏rowning鈥� refers to freshwater bodies turning tea-coloured, a phenomenon driven by higher levels of dissolved organic matter and/or higher levels of iron in the water. Causes include changes in land use and climate, and reduced acid precipitation.
