The Hertzberg-Schechter Stem Cell Workshop brought together researchers and trainees from UC San Diego and Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science, with a program designed to turn shared scientific questions into shared plans.
A new UC San Diego study reveals that fossil fuel-based plastic pollution may be promoting toxic water conditions by removing animals that keep water at safe levels. Biologically based plastics had a much smaller impact.
When infectious diseases surge, response often comes down to timing: whether communities can position the right people and supplies before case counts spike. Researchers at the School of Global Policy and Strategy are helping bridge that gap with a new platform that forecasts disease outbreaks.
Scientists have developed a 3D, AI-based tool for viewing hearing cells. To understand hearing damage from noise and aging, and develop new treatments, scientists need detailed images of hair cells. The new VASCilia tool uses deep learning to accelerate sensory cell image processing and analysis.
UC San Diego scientists have uncovered a transformative new understanding of heart attacks. The research, which connects the heart, brain and nervous and immune systems, shows that blocking key signals can lead to new treatments for heart attacks and minimize their resulting damage.
The first good manufacturing practices facility located on a university campus in the United States opened this fall at the University of California San Diego. The space is dedicated to building devices that can be implanted in the human body – especially for neurological applications.
