Enzyme Accelerates Malignant Stem Cell Cloning in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
January 2, 2013
An international team, headed by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, has identified a key enzyme in the reprogramming process that promotes malignant stem cell cloning and the growth of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a cancer of the blood and marrow that experts say is…
Untangling Tau: Researchers Find a “Druggable Target” for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
January 24, 2019
Using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons from Alzheimer’s patients, UC San Diego researchers say cholesteryl esters — the storage product for excess cholesterol within cells — act as regulators of the protein tau, providing a new druggable target for the disease.
How Obesity Dismantles Our Mitochondria
January 29, 2024
UC San Diego researchers found that when mice were fed a high-fat diet, mitochondria within their fat cells broke apart and were less able to burn fat, leading to weight gain. They also found they could reverse the effect by targeting a single gene, suggesting a new treatment strategy for…
