Enzyme Discovery Could Lead to Breakthrough Treatments for Leukemia and Tuberculosis
University of Guelph researchers have, for the first time, captured how key enzymes involved in leukemia and tuberculosis switch between active and inactive states – a discovery that could lead to a new class of targeted therapies. Led by Dr. Siavash Vahidi of the College of Biological Science, the team used advanced biochemical and structural biology techniques to reveal how these shape-shifting enzymes function...
U of G Research Links Social Connection to Lower STI Risk in Queer Men
A new University of Guelph study shows self‑stigma can raise STI‑risk behaviours in queer men, but strong social ties almost erase that danger. Led by Dr. Shayna Skakoon‑Sparling College of Social & Applied Human Sciences, the research shows that connection and support offset the health risks of internalized stigma, proving solid networks can protect sexual health even when self‑doubt lingers...
One Person’s Junk: Rethinking DNA with U of G Research
Dr. Stefan Linquist, College of Arts, is leading an interdisciplinary research project funded by an $836,711 grant from the John Templeton Foundation. Working with a team of biologists, Linquist will examine the role of transposable elements – often called “junk DNA” – from an ecological perspective. The project aims to challenge conventional thinking about genetic function and evolution...

Research Advances Cancer Prognosis Accuracy for Dogs with Osteosarcoma
Dr. Geoffrey Wood, a professor at the Ontario Veterinary College, identified miR-214-3p as a key biomarker for predicting outcomes in dogs with osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer in older, large-breed dogs. Elevated levels of miR-214-3p were linked to shorter survival times and faster disease progression. Published in PLOS ONE, the study also found that combining multiple microRNAs improved prognostic accuracy. This research...
