Many patients with COVID-19 develop brain fog and other cognitive symptoms months later. Their cerebrospinal fluid may hold clues to why this is happening.
UCSF researchers found that cancers from different parts of the body are immunologically similar to one another. They described 12 classes of "immune archetypes" to classify cancer tumors, which can provide unique strategies for enhancing patients’ choice of cancer immunotherapies.
A new study led by scientists at UCSF's Quantitative Biosciences Institute and University College London found that the Alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2 ramped up production of a protein that it uses to stifle infected cells’ immune-stimulating signals, helping it evade immune detection and accelerate its transmission.
Since the early months of the pandemic, physicians throughout UCSF have pitched in to help support hundreds of long COVID patients.
A concerted research effort gave UCSF scientists early insight into long COVID. It also showed patients that they weren’t in the fight alone.
The UCSF initiative aims to increase the effectiveness and availability of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy for lymphoma patients.
UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland has received the largest research trial grant in its history to launch an innovative clinical trial that aims to cure sickle cell disease.
UCSF researchers have discovered a new type of cell that may be responsible for the exaggerated immune response behind inflammatory disease.
UCSF’s research has been ranked among the top in the world, according to the latest U.S. News & World Report’s Best Global Universities 2022 rankings.
Three adolescents who had mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 developed sudden severe psychiatric symptoms. A recent study into their immune responses identifies a potential mechanism by which these symptoms emerge.
