Coefficient Giving has awarded a grant for a study on how viruses may have evolved a process that enables them to disseminate, promoting disease development and spread. The grant will support research on viral toxins that are used to compromise integrity of cellular barriers, promoting virus spread.
UC San Diego biologists have identified a way to reinvigorate immune system cells, which can become exhausted after fighting disease. They found that protein recycling malfunctions after a cell burns out. Restoring a proper recycling system allows T cells to regain their cancer-fighting functions.
UC San Diego researchers have developed T1GRS, a machine‑learning model that accurately predicts genetic risk for Type 1 diabetes, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and more personalized treatment.
Scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have uncovered new insights into the bioluminescence of a unique species of marine plankton that feeds on other plankton, including the harmful algae responsible for red tides and algal blooms.
