Give to UCSFMicrobiologist Joseph Bondy-Denomy, PhD, has been selected as the 2022 William K. Bowes Jr. Biomedical Investigator for his groundbreaking discovery of a secret weapon deployed by viruses in their ancient battle against bacteria.
For years, physicians have been taught to prescribe different drugs to Black people with high blood pressure. A recent UCSF study calls that into question.
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.
In the quest for new treatments for COVID-19, a team led by UCSF researchers identified a new potential drug target that may prevent infection of human cells by SARS-CoV-2.
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.
There is some information that is known about the variant and other information that sti
A natural language processing study parses doctor-patient communication at an unprecedented scale and offers new ways to help doctors communicate with their patients.
A UCSF study finds that a digital version of cognitive behavioral therapy (dCBT) for prenatal insomnia may prevent postpartum depression
A concerted research effort gave UCSF scientists early insight into long COVID. It also showed patients that they weren’t in the fight alone.
Americans save billions of dollars using lower-cost generics instead of brand-name drugs. Are they as effective?
Since the early months of the pandemic, physicians throughout UCSF have pitched in to help support hundreds of long COVID patients.
Keith Yamamoto, PhD, UCSF’s director of precision medicine, explains how a new tool – a knowledge network – will transform health care.
A recent UCSF study tested possible triggers of a common heart condition, including caffeine, sleep deprivation and sleeping on the left side, and found that only alcohol use was consistently associated with more episodes of heart arrhythmia.
