Big breakthroughs in brain and mental health start with fundamental discovery.
Dr. Mats Ambrozkiewicz studies how the brain develops at the molecular level, focusing on how protein signaling pathways help guide the precise timing of brain development. bit.ly/49SfaOM

🎉 Thrilled to share that our work has just been published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation!
"Peritoneal macrophages regulate distal wound healing via endocrine release of plasma fibronectin" 👉 lnkd.in/dgQamT85
Progressing the field of tissue repair: doi.org/10.1172/JCI198632
Here, Lilian Salm @lilian_salm, Paul Kubes @Kubes_Lab, Guido Beldi @BeldiGuido & team show that peritoneal macrophages release fibronectin, accelerating skin wound healing at distant sites and revealing an endocrine role for these cells in systemic tissue repair beyond the abdominal cavity.

Arthritis breakthroughs are at risk — unless we invest now. 🔬
Arthritis affects more Canadians than diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and dementia combined — yet research funding is declining. 📉
