While controlling swelling is important, a new study shows that a commonly prescribed anti-swelling drug suppresses the immune system for weeks after dosage, inhibiting the body’s ability to fight the cancer.</p> Wed, 26 Feb 2025 14:41:43 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 6379 at /neuro /neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-dissection-prion-life-cycle-arrayed-genome-wide-crispr-screens-363887 <hr /> <p>Supported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts, The Neuro's Killam Seminar Series invites outstanding guest speakers whose research is of interest to the scientific community at The Neuro and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University.</p> Wed, 26 Feb 2025 16:06:26 +0000 justin.martinez-rosler@mcgill.ca 6381 at /neuro /neuro/channels/event/2025-hughlings-jackson-lecture-basal-ganglia-and-motivation-act-362529 <p>Established in 1935, the Hughlings Jackson Lecture is The Neuro’s premier scientific lecture.
