UCSF Researchers Uncover New Pathway for Molecular Cancer Drug Therapies
Researchers have discovered a cellular uptake pathway for larger molecules that delivers cell-permeable drugs efficiently.
Cellular “Glue” to Regenerate Tissues, Heal Wounds, Regrow Nerves
Researchers have engineered molecules that act like “cellular glue,” a major step toward building tissues and organs.
Fitbit, Apple Watch Screening for Heart Arrhythmia Needs More Study
Promises from companies leap ahead of medical science in promoting the use of smartwatches to screen for heart rhythm disorders says UCSF’s Gregory Marcus.
Top Dementia Scientists Present Key Findings, Initiatives
UCSF Experts Present Research at the Annual Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Conference in San Francisco.
Fewer Patients with PTSD Survive COVID
Risk of death or hospitalization from COVID-19 were found to be greater for patients with PTSD.
Myocarditis in Cancer Patients Is Driven by Specific Immune Cells
Researchers have identified specific immune cells that drive deadly heart inflammation in a small fraction of patients treated with powerful cancer immunotherapy drugs.
$147M Grant Will Address Imbalances in Alzheimer’s Study
A $147 million grant will expand diversity among Alzheimer’s disease research participants, and involve partners from UCSF, the San Francisco VA Medical Center, and the Northern California Institute for Research and Education.
Machine Learning Enables Diagnosis of Sepsis, the Elusive Global Killer
A new diagnostic method that applies machine learning to advanced genomics data from both microbe and host to identify and predict sepsis cases was developed by researchers at UCSF, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and CZ Biohub.
Fatty Liver Linked to Survival in E. Coli Infection
Scientists at UCSF have developed a new way of looking at sex-biased diseases that is rooted in evolutionary biology.
Marijuana, Meth, Cocaine and Opiate Use are Linked to Atrial Fibrillation
A new UCSF study researchers of more than 23 million people concludes that some commonly used and abused drugs pose previously unidentified risks for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), a potentially deadly heart-rhythm disorder.
Senescent Cells also Help to Heal Damaged Tissues
Not all senescent cells are harmful “zombies” that should be wiped out to prevent age-related disease. New research from UCSF found that some of them are embedded in young, healthy tissues and promote normal repair from damage.
