PNAS paper liking obesity to elevated burden of senescence cells in tumours:

Happy to share our newest paper from Fred Fournier : Obesity triggers tumoral senescence and renders poorly immunogenic malignancies amenable to senolysis

Congratulations to Sergio, Agnieszka and UNITY Biotechnology for our study published in Cell Metabolism demonstrating that BCL-xL inhibition and senolysis can improve retinopathies.

Congratulations to Francois Binet and all collaborators for our paper on NETosis and remodeling of senescent blood vessels in retinopathy published in Science.

Congratulations to Catherine Ménard from our lab for successfully defending her PhD thesis on the role miRNAs in AMD!

Congratulations to Ariel Wilson from our lab for the prix Relève étoile Jacques-Genest 2019.

Congratulations to former lab postdoc Malika Oubaha on obtaining a faculty position at the University of Quebec in Montreal.

Congratulations to Roberto Diaz on the publication of his RELi protocol for protein extraction from white, brown and beige adipose tissues.

 

We had an awesome week filled with great eye science in beautiful Vancouver, Canada.

Congratulations to Khalil, Malika and Catherine on their publication in P.N.A.S.

Congrats to Ariel Wilson for her publication in Nano Letters:  in vivo laser-mediated retinal ganglion cell optoporation using KV1.1 conjugated gold nanoparticles
