Researchers developed a patch that continuously tracks a patient’s Parkinson's disease medication levels through their fingertip sweat. The device operates using chemicals in this sweat — no batteries required. Its measurements were comparable to those obtained by standard laboratory blood tests.
Uri Manor, inaugural faculty director of the Goeddel Family Technology Sandbox, is using advanced instruments to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a debilitating genetic neurological disorder. Such advancements are offering hope for six-year-old Jeremy and others who suffer from the disease.
Researchers from University of California San Diego have created the most detailed map to date of how gene regulation breaks down in human heart failure, revealing how different cardiac cell types drive disease and pointing to potential new therapeutic targets.
Researchers from UC San Diego analyzed the latest data from one of the nation’s largest long-term studies of youth to better understand when substance use begins, how it changes during adolescence and which substances are most commonly used together.
UC San Diego researchers and their colleagues designed short strands of DNA to target protein production by disease-causing mutations, dramatically reducing seizures and sparking developmental gains, helping one teenager walk independently.
The new partnership is designed to jointly develop cutting-edge genomic tools for addressing large-scale challenges in health and the environment. The partnership combines research strengths in environmental and marine science, engineering and computer science and biomedical and life sciences.
