What if a protein could be injected to help heal both “leaky gut” and severe depression? New research from the University of Victoria, published in Chronic Stress, shows that a glycoprotein called Reelin may one day be able to do just that.
A new student-led study from UBC Okanagan has found that young adults who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ report receiving significantly less affirming and inclusive sexual health education than their cisgender, heterosexual peers.
