A UCSF study found that step counts, a measure of physical activity, were markedly lower early in the COVID-19 pandemic than pre-pandemic and remained lower on average in the two years following the onset of the global pandemic.
UCSF-led research outlines the comprehensive immune landscape and microbiome of pancreatic cysts as they progress from benign cysts to pancreatic cancer. Their findings could reveal the mechanism of neoplastic progression and provide targets for immunotherapy to inhibit progression or treat invasive disease.
A new variation of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system makes it easier to re-engineer massive quantities of cells for therapeutic applications. The approach, developed at Gladstone Institutes and UC San Francisco (UCSF), lets scientists introduce especially long DNA sequences to precise locations in the genomes of cells at remarkably high efficiencies without the viral delivery systems that have traditionally been used to carry DNA into cells.
T cells used in immunotherapy treatments can get exhausted and shut down by fighting cancer cells and tumors. Using a CRISPR-based edit on these cells’ genomes, researchers at UCSF and Gladstone Institutes have rendered the therapeutic cells more resilient against tumors.
A new national study led by UCSF found that more sophisticated devices that pair with smartphones don’t lead to better blood pressure control than home-use blood pressure cuffs.
Blood tests taken within 24 hours of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) flag which patients are likely to die and which patients are likely to survive with severe disability, according to a study headed by UCSF, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan.
A $7 million gift from Mike Gordon, co-founder of Meritech Capital Partners, and his wife, Loren, will help UCSF surmount a key impediment to treating type 1 diabetes.
A new "subway map" of immune networks connects gene variation to risk for autoimmune disease.
A new UCSF study reveals how gut inflammation can disrupt not only the digestive system, but also the skin. It’s a tale in which the main players are specialized immune cells and the bacterial communities — called microbiomes — that dwell within the gut and skin.
The Opioid Industry Documents Archive (OIDA), a project of UCSF, and Johns Hopkins University, today released more than 114,000 documents related to McKinsey & Company's work as a management consulting firm for the opioid industry.
A world-class team of researchers co-led by UCSF’s Allan Balmain, PhD, FRS, has been selected to receive a $25 million Cancer Grand Challenges award to investigate the very early stages of cancer development.
For the seventh consecutive year, UCSF is co-sponsoring the Precision Medicine World Conference (PMWC) from June 28-30, 2022 to share the latest in this rapidly evolving space.
