Spending time under the sun may raise the risk for skin cancer, but a new study led by UCSF and the Australian National University shows that for children and young adults, sun exposure may protect against multiple sclerosis.
Hoping to discover a new approach to treating depression, UCSF researchers looked at mitochondrial proteins and found that people with untreated depression have significantly lower levels of these proteins. New hypotheses emerge about the relationship between depression and the function of the brain’s energy-hungry neurons.
