Could probiotics help save honey bee colonies from collapse?

Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms best known for promoting gut health in humans, are now being used by Western University and Lawson Health Research Institute scientists to save honey bee colonies from collapse. A new study published in the Nature journal ISME J demonstrates how probiotics could potentially stave off a common bacterial hive infestation called American Foulbrood. “Probiotics aren’t just for humans,” said

A new molecular diagnostic tool to help diagnosis unknown hereditary disorders

Computational analysis of epigenetic patterns facilitates diagnosis of unknown hereditary disorders A new sophisticated computational model, developed by scientists at Lawson Health Research Institute, is bringing an innovative method of diagnosing rare hereditary conditions. Genome-wide testing of DNA methylation, a mechanism of the epigenome, has been shown to facilitate the diagnosis of previously unsolved cases of neurodevelopmental

New green bioreactors could produce pharmaceuticals in a way that is much more affordable than current methods

Researchers at Western University and Lawson Health Research Institute are using tobacco plants as ‘green bioreactors’ to produce an anti-inflammatory protein with powerful therapeutic potential. The plants are being used to produce large quantities of a human protein called Interleukin 37, or IL-37. The protein is naturally produced in the human kidney in very small quantities and has powerful

Breakthrough UBC research finds cleaner, safer source of medical isotopes than nuclear power plants

Researchers at the University of B.C. say they’ve averted a looming medical isotope shortage by proving they can produce enough of the chemical element used in life-saving cardiac and cancer scans to stop using nuclear plants. The breakthrough research means aging nuclear power plants — plagued with leaks, high maintenance costs and problems disposing toxic
