Capital comes with instructions. Everything takes π times longer and costs π times as much as you thought. Information only has value when it’s in motion. These are the three rules that govern the interaction of entrepreneurism with technology, according to Ron Reedy, UC San Diego alumnus and co-founder and chief operations officer of San Diego-based Peregrine Semiconductors.
A novel study involving fruit flies and mice has allowed biologists to identify two critical genes responsible for congenital heart defects in individuals with Down syndrome, a major cause of infant mortality and death in people born with this genetic disorder.
UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center experts have performed San Diego’s first-ever coronary revascularization procedure using a hybrid operating room, the only facility of its kind in the region. The state-of-the-art operating room allows patients to be treated in one place at one time without having to schedule multiple procedures. The result is less time in the operating room and reduced costs for hospitalization.
Human memory has historically defied precise scientific description, its biological functions broadly but imperfectly defined in psychological terms.
What began as an offhand request over a send-off lunch between a deploying Camp Pendleton Marine and friends at UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography transformed into an award-winning project that has greatly expanded the military’s “environmental intelligence” capabilities in Iraq and Afghanistan battle zones.
When a bacterial cell divides into two daughter cells and those two cells divide into four more daughters, then 8, then 16 and so on, the result, biologists have long assumed, is an eternally youthful population of bacteria. Bacteria, in other words, don’t age—at least not in the same way all other organisms do.
