Kids With MIS-C Mount Normal T Cell Response to COVID-19
UC San Diego study suggests multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a rare condition associated with COVID-19, is not caused by abnormal T cell response to COVID-19 virus as previously hypothesized.
Neurobiologists Identify Widely Used Assembling and Stabilizing Forces behind Brain Synapses
UC San Diego scientists have provided promising new evidence that the “planar cell polarity,” a powerful signaling pathway, is a widely used mechanism for the formation and maintenance of a large number of synapses.
Mapping the Mouse Brain, and by Extension, the Human Brain Too
In a special issue of Nature, UC San Diego researchers further refine the organization of cells within key regions of the mouse brain and the organization of transcriptomic, epigenomic and regulatory factors that provide these brain cells with function and purpose.
