A team of researchers at UCSF have recently sequenced the condor genome, shining light on the species’ history and opening the door to a better understanding of genomics in small populations, for the benefit of both condors and humans.
In the largest study of its kind, an investigation by UCSF researchers has found no evidence that moderate coffee consumption can cause cardiac arrhythmia.
The B.1.1.7 coronavirus variant—also known as Alpha—may be more infectious because it contains mutations that make it better adapted to foil the innate immune system, at least for long enough to allow the virus to replicate and potentially find new hosts, according to a new study.
Leading scientists share some of the tools and strategies that could help us better confront and contain future outbreaks.
Cognitive behaviorial therapy for insomnia, the gold-standard intervention, also suggests benefits for well-being.
Insomnia is miserable, and lost sleep can harm our health. Now, researchers are seeing the promise of solutions in our genes.
Scientists now have shown that the weakening of an astronaut’s immune system during space travel is likely due in part to abnormal activation of immune cells called T regulator cells.
UCSF researchers have found a way to double doctors’ accuracy in detecting the vast majority of complex fetal heart defects in utero.
The partnership will allow the company and the University to develop technology that will enable a modern, more streamlined experience for patients and set a new standard for health care delivery.
Six health care experts grapple with how to address race without being racist.
UCSF researchers have created a CRISPR technique to study how turning on or off single genes affects the function of different cell types and how these changes play a role in disease.
What kills most people who die from cancer is not the initial tumor. It’s the intolerable disease burden on the body that arises when tumor cells continually expand their numbers after spreading to different organs.
