Long-chain fatty acids can be carbon sources for pathogens but are also potent antimicrobials. In our latest work, we explored the question of how Mycobacterium tuberculosis avoids getting killed by a preferred carbon source.

Halmos et al show that the deficiency of cholesterol transporters #Abca1 & #Abcg1 in #SMCs enhances #vasoconstriction & urinary #bladder distension but does not affect lesion area in #atherosclerosis. Learn more at https://t.co/Y3jSQ92xz0

[CAPS-ACPP @CAPSACPP]

@CAPSACPP is thrilled to see new investments in Canadian postdocs in #Budget2024! $825M to support future research talent. $1.8B to support grants. Federal postdoctoral fellowships will be increasing from $40k to $70k! An amazing investment in our research talent 🎉

[Sarah Laframboise @SLaframboise14]

#GradStudent scholarships and #Postdoc fellowships got a raise today for the first time in 21 years🙌

Immensely grateful to all those who have been pushing for this. It truly takes a village!

Still processing and will have more thoughts soon! But overall this👇 is great news!

[Heart Institute @HeartInstitute]

Following a rigorous international recruitment process, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute has named Dr. Katey Rayner as its next chief scientific officer and vice-president of research. Congratulations!
