New Research Reveals How Location Influences How Our Immune System Fights Disease
A new study led by a team of scientists reveals how cells known as tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells play unique and specialized roles based on where they are located. The discovery sheds light on how such cells adapt to their location and could lead to improved immunotherapy and vaccines.
Epilepsy Patient Samples Offer Unprecedented Insights on Brain ‘Brakes’ Linked to Disorders
Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of these receptors in the human brain, revealing how they assemble and how drugs bind to them.
New Paper Creates Roadmap for the Next Generation of Bioelectronic Medicine
A new paper led by Professor Imanuel Lerman of UC San Diego provides a review of the field of bioelectronic medicine and the most promising opportunities for life-changing new therapies and diagnostics.
Why Our Biological Clock Ticks: Research Reconciles Major Theories of Aging
Two major theories of aging both involve DNA, but in very different ways. Researchers at UC San Diego have revealed that these theories may not be so different after all.
Using Infrared Heat Transfer to Modify Chemical Reactions
In a joint experimental-theoretical work, a team of researchers, including theorists from UC San Diego, have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can influence chemical reactions more strongly than traditional convection and conduction methods.
