Applications Now Open for Startups Looking to Join StartBlue Ocean Enterprise Accelerator Program
Applications are now open for UC San Diego’s StartBlue Ocean Enterprise Accelerator, a program that provides support across the growth continuum from early stage to small and medium ocean-based startups across the United States.
Understanding the Mechanisms of Embryonic Cell Behavior
During embryonic development, thousands of cells divide and move as one. Understanding the mechanisms that coordinate this collective behavior remains a significant challenge in biology and the physics of living systems. Researchers from UC San Diego have discovered that avian embryos control their
Molecule Linked to Metabolism Found to Boost Plant Growth
Researchers have completed the first comprehensive exploration of itaconate, a natural compound involved in metabolism, in plants. The researchers found that itaconate helps plants grow, a finding that offers new possibilities for maximizing crop growth to support growing global populations.
Annual Carbon Dioxide Peak Passes Another Milestone
For the first time, the seasonal peak of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere exceeded 430 parts per million (ppm) at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Observatory on Hawaii, scientists from NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego reported today.
A Better Understanding of How Gene Editing Tools Work
Patients are being healed with a personalized treatment that repairs the patient’s specific genetic mutation. The treatment was created using a form of gene editing called base editing —a method created by UC San Diego’s Alexis Komor. Her latest research outlines the way certain DNA repair proteins
