Circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being. Scientists are now getting closer to understanding how these clocks operate at their core by solving how such clocks within bacteria are able to precisely control when different genes are turned on and off during the 24-hour cycle.
UC San Diego researchers have harnessed the body's immune response to a common virus to shrink pancreatic tumors, offering hope for a new cancer treatment approach.
Blood vessels in the brain are highly interconnected yet the mechanisms that regulate flow are not well studied. To learn more, UC San Diego Professor of Physics David formulated a mathematical model to predict the impact of a change in a single vessel on the flow through all the other vessels.
The largest gas giants in our galaxy blur the line between planets and brown dwarfs. How do these very large gas giants form? UC San Diego researchers used spectral data from the James Webb Space Telescope to probe the HR 8799 star system, leading to a surprising answer to this longstanding question
Drug resistance has accelerated in recent years with the emergence of deadly bacteria and “superbugs.” In response to this global health crisis, UC San Diego biologists have developed a new CRISPR-based technology capable of removing antibiotic-resistant elements from populations of bacteria.
Today NASA announced the selection of a University of California San Diego-led satellite mission for the Earth System Explorers (ESE) program.
