ALT Outstanding peer reviewers Spring 2026 - with tiled head shots of featured peer reviewers
Sophie Jovanovic has become the first woman to get drafted in the OHL U18 priority selection to the Brantford Bulldogs — second woman to ever get in drafted in OHL history.
She’s a War For the Roses Champion and MVP. Played alongside Milani and Matt.
Congrats Soph!

Genetic code similarity does not tell the full evolutionary story. A new study by Donnelly researchers in the Blencowe Lab has illuminated a potentially frequent mechanism that generates evolutionary divergence between primate species:

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results
I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore
Cheers, chills, and a standing ovation when RASolute 302 showed unprecedented survival on daraxonrasib for patients with progressive pancreatic cancer
Seldom do you sense you’re witnessing a historic moment in cancer care but this feels like ras targeting has arrived

Leveraging synthetic antibodies and single-molecule microscopy, scientists interrogate how #Wnt ligands may induce different downstream responses depending on which coreceptors are recruited to the Wnt receptor Frizzled. @StephAngers@uoftmedicinescim.ag/4e30J00

A two-step mechanism may shape how Wnt ligands induce different intracellular responses depending on which coreceptor interacts with #Frizzled—a discovery that could inform research into selective modulators of the Wnt pathway. @StephAngers@uoftmedicinescim.ag/4e30J00
When faced with a mountain of gene expression data, reducing the computational complexity for analyzing a cell’s RNA transcripts is an invaluable development.
