A new study finds that inherited genetic variation plays a role in who is likely to benefit from checkpoint inhibitors, which release the immune system’s brakes so it can attack cancer.
The new center will provide an integrated platform for basic and clinical research, bringing together vascular biology, immunology, and neuroscience.
We posed the most common COVID-19 vaccine quandaries to Bryn Boslett, MD, an infectious disease expert who is leading the vaccination effort at UCSF. She explains why mRNA vaccines won’t affect your DNA, which allergies pose a risk, what 95 percent efficacy really means, and more.
In two preclinical models of COVID-19, plitidepsin showed a 100-fold reduction in viral replication in the lungs and demonstrated an ability to reduce lung inflammation.
Patients with severe COVID-19 produce antibodies that paradoxically shut down their immune system’s virus-fighting response just when they need it most.
A new research collaborative at UCSF will be focused on decoding the “rulebook” of metastatic cancer as a pathway to new treatments.
We asked several UCSF experts for a personal take on what will convince them that a vaccine is safe.
