UC San Diego scientists use lab-grown human brain tissue to identify neural abnormalities in Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome and show gene therapy tools can rescue neural structure and function.
Researchers at UC San Diego and Boise State University have developed a new approach to making novel lithium-ion battery materials. The approach transforms a non-crystalline material into a crystalline anode material with exceptional battery properties—by cycling it with lithium.
Researchers developed a smartphone app that could allow people to screen for Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases and disorders—by recording closeups of their eye. The app uses a smartphone's built-in cameras to measure changes in pupil size, which could be used to assess cognitive condition.
Trauma physicians at UC San Diego Health attribute the rise in injuries to a height increase of the border wall at U.S.-Mexico border.
Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine report that high-frequency spinal cord stimulation proved more effective at improving perceived pain reduction than low-frequency SCS in patients studied, and that there was some variation in PPR between male and female patients.
LGBT+ physicists often face harassment and other behaviors that make them leave the profession, according to a new study, which comes as physics as a discipline has attempted to grapple with equity and inclusion issues.
Researchers at UC San Diego have used a systems biology approach to parse the genetic diversity of Clostridioides difficile, a particularly problematic pathogen, particularly in health care settings.
The cowpea mosaic virus has shown great promise as an experimental cancer immunotherapy for treating and preventing recurrence of various cancers. But just how the virus triggers such a potent anti-cancer immune response has remained a mystery. A new study digs deeper and provides answers.
CARI Health, a startup in the Institute for the Global Entrepreneur's MedTech Accelerator, was named a Connect "Cool Company" on the heels of winning the $300,000 grand prize at the San Diego Angel Conference.
Epilepsy treatment, and hopefully quality of life for one 18-year-old patient, receives robotic boost at UC San Diego Health.
