As the human body ages, cellular changes can drive a host of age-related diseases and conditions. The appearance of aging cells, also called senescent cells, in age-related diseases has spurred the
Leading cancer researchers from UC San Francisco presented talks about advances in targeted therapy, cancer genomics, eliminating treatment disparities and other cancer research topics at this year’s
New CAR-T gene therapy techniques could extend survival for patients with glioblastoma.
When a mouthful of water goes down the wrong pipe – heading toward a healthy person’s lungs instead of their gut – they start coughing uncontrollably. That’s because their upper airway senses the
Mild brain inflammation destroys arm-like projections of neurons rather than the neurons themselves, but can still cause significant brain damage.
UCSF scientists have been awarded more than $30 million to develop “tissue GPS,” a new system using engineered T cells to guide therapies directly to their targets in the brain to treat neurological diseases like cancer, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s.
An upcoming Supreme Court ruling could put a stop to telehealth abortion services nationally, and limit access to mifepristone, one of two drugs commonly used in abortion care.
People with dementia and those who care for them should be screened for loneliness, so providers can find ways to keep them socially connected.
Researchers recently identified a universal, essential biomarker for the childhood cancer neuroblastoma – and the biomarker could be a potential new target for treatment. Neuroblastoma accounts for
A new drug candidate permanently modifies a wily cancer-causing mutation, paving the way for making pancreatic cancer treatable, or perhaps even curable.
Delivering medicine through amniotic fluid is as effective as delivering it to the fetal brain via cerebrospinal fluid to treat serious disordrs such as Angelman syndrome.
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare but aggressive childhood leukemia. While hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is curative for some patients, approximately half of all patients see
Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH, offers insights on what her research on microplastics has led her to change how she and her family eats and what cleaning products she uses.
UCSF scientists found a way to predict Alzheimer’s disease up to seven years before symptoms appear by analyzing patient records with machine learning. Conditions that most influenced prediction of Alzheimer’s were high cholesterol and, for women, osteoporosis.
Cancer immunotherapy is hindered by the fact that engineered immune cells often get worn out and depleted before they've killed a tumor. A UCSF team has identified mutations that give cancerous lymphoma T-cells their superpower and transfer those genes into engineered, therapeutic immune cells.
In a first, scientists at UCSF and Stanford identified genetic variants that predict whether a patient is likely to respond to treatment for preterm birth. Screening for mutations could allow doctors to target medications to those most likely to benefit. No medication is currently available in the U.S. to treat preterm birth.
Combining testosterone-blocking drugs in patients with prostate cancer relapse prevents the spread of cancer better than treatment with a single drug.
A little-studied steroid that serves as a building block for hormones like estrogen and testosterone has been shown to enhance learning and memory in a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco.
A newly-discovered gene may explain how humans go deaf both as they age, and in response to loud noise.
