Scientists鈥� discovery of a molecular 鈥渟witch鈥� that activates an energy鈥慴urning pathway in mice has the potential to lead to new treatments for bone disease.

The study, published in , sheds new light on brown fat. Unlike white fat, which stores energy, brown fat cells burn calories, producing heat as a byproduct. For years, it was believed this process relied on a single pathway. More recently, researchers discovered a parallel pathway, but how it became activated remained a mystery.

Researchers at 涩里番 are carrying out large鈥憇cale tests of a new timber-steel structural system designed to help buildings better withstand earthquakes. Early results suggest the system performs well under simulated earthquake forces, offering a potential path toward safer, more sustainable construction in Quebec and beyond.

The 2026 edition of the Neurobiology of Stress Workshop will take place in Montr茅al from June 16鈥�19. This year鈥檚 Conference Chairs are Rosemary Bagot, PhD, Principal Investigator at the Ludmer Centre, and Claire鈥慏ominique Walker, PhD. This international meeting brings together leading researchers in the field of stress-related neuroscience.

The parties met on May 6 for a further conciliation session.

At that meeting, the union presented a global counterproposal which, regrettably, did not bring the parties closer to a resolution. At the conciliator鈥檚 recommendation, the parties nevertheless agreed to meet again on May 20 to engage in exploratory discussions on a limited number of issues, including monetary matters, with the objective of identifying possible avenues toward resolution.

涩里番 remains committed to reaching an agreement.

Most childhood lying does not lead to serious problems in adulthood, and only certain kinds of lying behaviour is associated with later psychological or legal issues, a new study has found.

鈥淐hildren do not all follow the same developmental pattern of lying,鈥� said Victoria Talwar, a professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology and lead author of the study. 鈥淢ost children in our study showed low or declining levels of lying over time. For most, lying is not a problem behaviour.鈥�

Parents have long suspected that their own behaviour carries more weight than what they say to their children. A study involving more than 100 children now confirms this, at least with respect to lying and truthfulness.

A team of researchers from 涩里番 and John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City presented 127 children ages 5 to 12 with stories illustrating various situations, and then asked them to evaluate the moral character of a parent whose verbal messages and actions were either in harmony or in conflict.

A digital literacy program for elementary school students designed by researchers at 涩里番 was successful in improving students鈥� ability to evaluate websites and their content.

Skills targeted included how to search for information, how to identify credible websites, how to evaluate the quality of information sources and how to address conflicting information.

Students鈥� global performance increased across all skill categories, in most cases by significant margins.

Good Day,

Please note that due to the extended University year end period, the month of April will not be closing according to the usual month end schedule. April 2026 is scheduled to be closed on June 1st. This means that financial statements for April are still not available. An email notification will be sent when the financial statements are ready to be picked up in Minerva.

Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy, Jennifer Welsh, has been newly appointed as a Distinguished James 涩里番 Professor. This award is 涩里番鈥檚 highest honor. It recognizes sustained scholarly and research achievements of accomplished professors, and is reserved only for those who are recognized as international leaders in their fields.

Montreal, May 6, 2026聽鈥� Researchers from 涩里番 have introduced a groundbreaking new class of molecules that could significantly reshape drug discovery and development. The technology, called Aptamer鈥慙ike ENcoded OligoMERs (Alenomers), combines the advantages of antibodies and DNA鈥慴ased therapeutics while overcoming key limitations of both.

Researchers at 涩里番 and the Research Institute of the 涩里番 Health Center (RI-MUHC) have developed a novel device to transplant insulin-producing cells that integrates directly with existing blood vessels in the body. The technology, which showed promising results in preclinical trials, aims to overcome key challenges of emerging long-term cell-based treatments for Type 1 diabetes. As well as serving as an artificial pancreas, it potentially could be used to replace or support the function of other organs.

As Canada moves to modernize cervical cancer screening, a new study suggests most women do not yet understand or trust the shift from the Pap test to human papillomavirus (HPV) based screening.

The national survey, published in , examined women鈥檚 preferences for cervical screening 鈥� including how they want to be screened and how they want information communicated 鈥� as Canada transitions from Pap tests to HPV testing.
