Cell Mapping Initiatives Aim to Uncover Hidden Pathways of Disease
UCSF researchers are leading several initiatives that aim to see how dozens of seemingly unrelated genes and proteins involved in a disease are in fact all part the same interconnected biological pathway.
Study Reveals How the Songbird Changes Its Tune
Researchers at UCSF have shown how the Bengalese finch can learn to tweak its song depending on context, which could shed light on how the human brain learns to apply different rules depending on the situation.
Key Psychiatric Drug Target Comes Into Focus
Researchers at UC San Francisco, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and Stanford University report a major step toward designing more powerful psychiatric drugs with fewer side effects.

2 UCSF Faculty Elected to the National Academy of Medicine for 2017
Two UCSF faculty are among the 70 new members and 10 international members elected to the National Academy of Medicine for 2017.
Brain Imaging Results Skewed by Biased Study Samples
A new UC San Francisco–led study shows that failure to follow this basic principle of population science can profoundly skew the results of brain imaging studies.
Allergy Drug Improves Function in Patients with Chronic Injury from Multiple Sclerosis
UCSF scientists have successfully completed a Phase II clinical trial showing that an FDA-approved antihistamine restores nervous system function in patients with chronic MS.
Gut Microbes May Influence Multiple Sclerosis Progression
Researchers at UCSF have identified specific gut microbes associated with MS in human patients, showing that these microbes take part in regulating immune responses in mouse models of the disease.
