Embryos shape their limbs: a key discovery of "genetic brakes"

Canadian scientists have made a significant advance in understanding the mechanisms that enable embryos to properly form their limbs, thanks to new research led by Université de Montréal medical professor Marie Kmita at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM). In findings published in the journal PNAS, Kmita and her team highlight the crucial role of certain molecular systems that act as true “genetic brakes,” ensuring that development proceeds correctly. At the very beginning of...

The secret reason some cancer treatments stop working

The secret reason some cancer treatments stop working - Date: - June 9, 2026 - Source: - University of Montreal - Summary: - Scientists have uncovered a hidden immune system "brake" that may help cancers avoid being destroyed. The molecule, called SLAMF6, weakens the body's cancer-fighting T cells and can leave them exhausted over time. Researchers developed antibodies that block this brake, allowing immune cells to stay stronger and attack tumors more effectively in mice.

A prognostic human brain network for diffuse midline glioma

Abstract Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are near-universally lethal tumours of the childhood central nervous system1,2. In animal models, DMGs form brain-wide integrated networks through neuron-to-glioma synapses3,4,5,6 and glioma-to-glioma gap junctional coupling3. This extensive connectivity robustly promotes the growth and invasion of DMG3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and other glial malignancies10,11,12 through paracrine mechanisms and direct neuron-to-glioma synapses.

Comparison of Automated White Matter Lesion Segmentation Approaches for Use in Large, Multi-Site Data Analyses in Parkinson's Disease

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. PD currently lacks effective disease-modifying treatments, likely due to its diverse clinical features and underlying neuropathology. The vascular role in PD is emerging, with vascular mechanisms increasingly implicated, yet the literature remains conflicted, motivating large-data analyses with greater statistical power.
