Study Identifies Previously Missed DNA Mutation Pattern in Colorectal Cancer

Researchers identified a previously overlooked pattern of DNA mutations in colorectal cancer. The pattern had been detected in large cancer-genome datasets before, but researchers had interpreted it as a combination of other, already known mutation patterns.

One Month on a Vegan Diet Shifts Epigenetic Patterns Associated with Aging and Inflammation

Researchers from University of California San Diego have found that switching to a vegan diet for just one month can alter the body’s epigenetic landscape in ways associated with reduced inflammation and biological aging.

Gene Regulation Map Reveals Treatment Targets for Heart Failure

Researchers from University of California San Diego have created the most detailed map to date of how gene regulation breaks down in human heart failure, revealing how different cardiac cell types drive disease and pointing to potential new therapeutic targets.

Adolescent Substance Use Continues to Rise Through Mid-Teens, National Study Finds

Researchers from UC San Diego analyzed the latest data from one of the nation’s largest long-term studies of youth to better understand when substance use begins, how it changes during adolescence and which substances are most commonly used together.

UC San Diego Study Finds An Exponential Increase in E-Bike Injuries in California

New statewide analysis reveals rising injury severity among e-bike riders, particularly children, highlighting urgent needs for safety education, infrastructure improvements and policy changes.

Screen Reveals New Proteins That Control RNA Processing

Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a large-scale screening approach that identifies proteins controlling a fundamental step in gene expression known as alternative polyadenylation (APA). APA determines where an RNA molecule is cut and finished before it is translated into protein.
