New CRISPR-based Technology Developed to Control Pests with Precision-guided Genetics
Science & EnvironmentUsing CRISPR, researchers developed a way to suppress insects, including those that ravage crops and transmit deadly diseases. The technology alters genes for sex determination and fertility. When eggs are introduced, only sterile males emerge, resulting in a low-cost method of controlling pests.
Yearlong Holocaust Lecture Series Offers Perspective on Gender, Humanity and Resistance
Business & EconomicsThe 2018-2019 Holocaust Living History Workshop series continues this winter at the University of California San Diego with an author talk, film screening and lecture.
An Errant Editing Enzyme Promotes Tumor Suppressor Loss and Leukemia Propagation
Health & BehaviorUC San Diego researchers have found a stem cell enzyme copy edits more than 20 tumor types, providing new therapeutic target for preventing cancer cell resistance to chemotherapy and radiation.
UC San Diego Researchers Identify How Skin Ages, Loses Fat and Immunity
Health & BehaviorSome dermal fibroblasts can convert into fat cells that reside under the dermis, giving skin a youthful look and producing peptides that fight infections. University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers and colleagues show how this happens and what causes it to stop as people age.
Hardware-Software Co-Design Approach Could Make Neural Networks Less Power Hungry
Science & EnvironmentEngineers have developed a neuroinspired hardware-software co-design approach that could make neural network training more energy-efficient and faster. Their work could one day make it possible to train neural networks on low-power devices such as smartphones, laptops and embedded devices.
