Modern Concepts in Cardiovascular Disease: Inflamm-Aging

The improvements in healthcare services and quality of life result in a longer life expectancy and a higher number of aged individuals, who are inevitably affected by age-associated cardiovascular (CV) diseases. This challenging demographic shift calls for a greater effort to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying age-related CV diseases to identify new therapeutic targets to cope with the ongoing aging "pandemic". Essential for protection against external pathogens and intrinsic degenerative processes, the inflammatory response becomes dysregulated with aging, leading to a persistent state of low-grade inflammation known as inflamm-aging. Of interest, inflammation has been recently recognized as a key factor in the pathogenesis of CV diseases, suggesting inflamm-aging as a possible driver of age-related CV afflictions and a plausible therapeutic target in this context. This review discusses the molecular pathways underlying inflamm-aging and their involvement in CV disease. Moreover, the potential of several anti-inflammatory approaches in this context is also reviewed

Quebec Conference: Roads, Wildlife & Adaptation to Climate Change: From Research to Action

The only road ecology conference in French in Quebec took place six years ago. This upcoming conference will share results from new research and various partnership projects initiated since 2011 to mitigate the impacts of roads on (terrestrial and aquatic) wildlife and habitat connectivity, and to better adapt to climate change. The conference will include presentations, workshops, kiosks and a fieldtrip, all available in French and English
