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.
Scientists have long-wondered how sheets of cells begin to move together to form organs. UC San Diego researchers used live imaging, genetic experiments and mathematical modeling to understand how cells in the fruit fly egg chamber synchronize movement with each other.
Electrical engineers from UC San Diego have developed inexpensive custom tiles that can be used to reflect millimeter wave signals in ways that address path obstruction issues and improve wireless network coverage.
