Researchers at the University of California San Diego studying how animals respond to infections have found a new pathway that may help in tolerating stressors that damage proteins. Naming the pathway the Intracellular Pathogen Response, or “IPR,” the scientists say it is a newly discovered way for animals to cope with certain types of stress and attacks, including heat shock.
The fifth annual forum included scholars of data science, ocean exploration and other disciplines who are interested in how data science analysis and visualization techniques can be applied to oceanographic data.
The five University of California medical centers, including Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, have joined together to recruit 100,000 women in California to be part of WISDOM: a clinical trial to uncover whether annual mammograms are the best way to screen for breast cancer, or whether a more personalized approach could deliver better results.
The San Diego Association of Governments recognized campus efforts to encourage the use of environmentally sustainable transportation.
The University of California San Diego is taking the lead in intelligent vehicles, turning the campus into a living laboratory for self-driving cars starting with mail delivery in January.
A team of scientists at the University of California San Diego has now helped decipher the dynamics that control how our cells age, and with it implications for extending human longevity. As described in a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a group led by biologist Nan Hao employed a combination of technologies in engineering, computer science and biology to analyze molecular processes that influence aging.
