Big congrats to Tam! Great to see this come to fruition!

Localized apelin-17 analogue-bicelle interactions as a facilitator of membrane-catalyzed receptor recognition and binding The apelinergic system encompasses two peptide ligand families, apelin and apela, along with the apelin receptor (AR or APJ), a class A G-protein-coup…

Nice to have CBC pick up on our work!

Dalhousie researchers develop silk-based material that could one day treat nerve damage, paralysis | CBC News A group of researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax have developed a material from the silk of spiders that could one day help regenerate nerve cells and treat paralysis.

Big congrats to Andy!!!

The MDMX acidic domain competes with the p53 transactivation domain for MDM2 N-terminal domain binding The tumor suppressor protein p53 governs many cellular pathways to control genome integrity, metabolic homeostasis, and cell viability. The critical r…

Big, big congrats to Anamika Sulekha on her really well-defended PhD today during Dal's very first in-person PhD defence - in hybrid format - since the pandemic started! Photos to follow :)

Hearty congrats to Lizzy on her very strongly defended MSc!

Big congrats to Tam on their great review article about on-cell NMR - now available 🙂

On-cell nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to probe cell surface interactions Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy allows determination of atomic-level information about intermolecular interactions, molecular structure, and molecular dynamics in the cellular environ...

Congrats to Jeff and Lingling on this nifty publication! And a big thanks to our collaborators Graham Dellaire and John Frampton for including us in this exciting project.

Material properties of disulfide-crosslinked hyaluronic acid hydrogels influence prostate cancer cell growth and metabolism Cells reside in vivo within three dimensional environments in which they interact with extracellular matrices (ECMs) that play an integral role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing tumour growth. Thus, tissue culture approaches that more faithfully reproduce these interactions with the E...

Hearty congrats to Andy Song on a strongly defended PhD!😀👍
