Driving is often considered a cornerstone of independence, but what happens when you get a dementia diagnosis?

A @CIHR_IRSC-funded online roadmap helps people living with dementia, and those who care for them, navigate the realities of giving up driving. https://t.co/XM1ycxbd4A

An app to help you quit pot? It might not be evidence-based, experts say. 📱

Study looking at mobile apps designed to support people who want to stop their cannabis use finds that the quality of such tools is poor, and skimpy on evidence-based facts. https://t.co/NwDWh0JdDO

Wonderful to see the Progress Pride Flag flying over campus.

Scientists at the @UofT developed human lung digital twins using the largest known ex vivo lung perfusion (ELVP) dataset.

Using EVLP-derived imaging, physiologic monitoring, and molecular data, the framework models over 75 parameters, including lung physiology, transcriptomics, and proteomics.

“[D]irect comparison to experimental data on EVLP lungs treated with alteplase [a thrombolytic medication] demonstrates that digital twins can precisely assess therapeutic efficacy.”

The study, published in @NatureBiotech, was led by @eeeeeelly329, @BoWang87, @HackerSerena, @MarceloCypel, @mingyao_liu, @SKeshavjee, @AndrewTSage et al.

A collaborative effort between the @VectorInst, @UHN, @UofT, @UHNTransplant, @UofTIMS, @UofTCompSci, @PMunkCardiacCtr, @UofT_LMP, @UofTMedIm, @imagingtoronto, @UofTSurgery, and @UofTPharmacy.

This work was funded by the @CIHR_IRSC and the J.P. Bickell Foundation.
