University of California San Diego has identified 11 genetic regions linked to delay discounting — the tendency to prefer smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones — shedding new light on how impulsive decision-making relates to both mental and physical health.
UC San Diego researchers have developed a new computational tool to predict how bacteria influence health by creating fast and powerful models of complex genetic and metabolic interactions. The tool could pave the way to personalized therapies for diseases that affect the microbiome.
TikTok is overflowing with “healthy” hacks — protein everything, fibermaxxing, sea moss gel and more. UC San Diego experts separate science from hype in seven of the year’s biggest nutrition and supplement trends.
Researchers at UC San Diego have found a paradoxical new way in which cancer cells survive and regrow after targeted therapy: by hijacking a protein involved in cell death.
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing challenges to global public health as harmful microbes evolve to evade these medications. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego and their colleagues have developed a new method to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria
What could you accomplish in three minutes? School of Medicine postdoctoral researchers Natasha Anita, Ph.D., and Aalok Varma, Ph.D. were the first- and second-place winners in the inaugural Torrey Pines Training Consortium (TPTC) Postdoc Pitch competition.
