Imagine that. Women need a Bill that ensures women's right to healthcare. If U are 🇨🇦, and an adult, U pay taxes that go towards our social healthcare system. Therefore, all persons in 🇨🇦 are entitled to healthcare equally. Again, all people are entitled to healthcare.

Reviewer#3, when applicant details life threatening disease(s) as reason 4 delayed productivity, you don't have 2 point out "concern 4 lack of productivity, though applicant has had health concerns". This comment is evil. Empathy is a sign of humanity. Do better! #CIHR being back F-2-F reviews.

Really sorry to hear that reviewers are abusing people with diseases. Hiding behind a screen does not take courage. It is cowardice. Bully tactics. Sad commentary on the quality of reviewers. In person review panels hold reviewers accountable. #CIHR being back in person review panels.

Do better #CIHR

We were devastated to hear of the passing of the Honourable Dr. Kirsty Duncan. A giant in science and public service, she was also kind and deeply caring, fighting tirelessly for equity for women and girls in science. We honour her legacy and extend our deepest condolences.

Devastated to learn of the passing of Dr. Kirsty Duncan. She was a brilliant scientist, a fierce advocate for safe sport, and a truly kind person. Canada has lost a real champion for #STEM. Our hearts goes out to her family and loved ones. What a tremendous loss. #KirstyDuncan #CdnPoli

Wishing everyone a peaceful and prosperous 2026. Dream big 🌟🧫🧪👩🏻‍🔬👩🏾‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬🧑🏿‍🔬🧑🏻‍🔬🔬🦠🧬

The study also revealed an inverse correlation between the expression of certain chemokine mRNAs and their corresponding microRNAs (miR-532-5p, miR-1266-3p, miR-3163).. could play a role in regulating the expression of chemokines.

Some cancers develop resistance to therapies, and chemokines may play a role in this process. By studying how chemokines influence tumor behavior and immune responses, researchers can identify new strategies to overcome resistance and improve treatment efficacy. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
