A new pharmaceutical production method could allow astronauts on long space missions to "grow" fresh medicines on demand using plants. The work could also bring low-cost pharmaceutical production to resource-limited areas on Earth.
A study of sea squirts from researchers at UC San Diego and their collaborators reveals new possibilities for regenerative medicine.
With a $1 million grant from the V Foundation for Cancer Research, UC San Diego researchers will work to advance promising new approaches for treating glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of brain cancer.
Psychologist Karen Dobkins shares practical steps for building a happier life by improving the way we relate to ourselves and others. The advice is at the heart a UC San Diego course she launched to help students practice self-awareness, emotional resilience, compassion and healthier communication.
“We used a combination of fundamental physics, nanofabrication and machine learning to make hidden distortions easier to detect and correct,” says Abdoulaye Ndao of UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering and Qualcomm Institute.
Drug delivery and diagnostic imaging often lack specificity, but a new “TRACE” method lets specially‑caged compounds stay inert until a target cell’s enzymes quickly remove the cage, potentially allowing for more precise drug delivery and sharper diagnostic imaging.
