What is “social prescribing” and what is UCSF doing to promote it? UCSF experts address the health ramifications of social isolation.
In a first, UCSF scientists created a molecular-level, 3D picture of how an odor molecule activates a human odorant receptor.
Faranak Fattahi’s lab is a national leader in growing stem cells to model peripheral nerves, focusing on gastrointestinal diseases.
Vissers’ work on RNA tags helped found the field of epitranscriptomics, the study of how chemical marks on RNA, rather than their sequence alone, dictate the function of the molecules.
Leanne Jones, PhD, is at the forefront of studying how stem cells are influenced by their surrounding environment and directed to differentiate into one type of cell or another – research that’s critical for stem cell therapies to be successful.
Angela Phillips, PhD, leads research that could help predict future viruses like COVID and the antibodies we might use to treat them.
When we inhale an airborne virus, our lung cells take on the role of immune system first responders. Catera Wilder, PhD, studies the molecular details of this response and how it can go awry, causing the body to damage its own tissue and cells.
Because proteins can adapt to extremes, Margaux Pinney, PhD, believes they can show how living organisms might adapt to climate change.
Emily Goldberg's lab studies what happens during aging to a particular set of immune cells: those embedded in fat tissue. She hypothesizes that changes to these cells during aging could be key to age-related inflammation.
Shaeri Mukherjee, PhD, has won the Bowes Biomedical Investigator award, which will provide funding to further her work using bacterial pathogens to identify basic processes inside human cells.
Sleep medications may increase risk of dementia for white people, though the type and amount of medication may also explain the higher probability.
A new AI language program developed by Salesforce can learn the language of biology to create artificial proteins.
