Novel Drug Targeting Leukemia Cells Enters Clinical Trial
September 16, 2014
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have launched a phase 1 human clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of a new monoclonal antibody for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common form of blood cancer in adults.
In First Moments of Infection, a Division and a Decision
March 4, 2014
…the destiny of single cells, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine describe for the first time the earliest stages of fate determination among white blood cells called T lymphocytes, providing new insights that may help drug developers create more effective, longer-lasting vaccines against microbial pathogens…
UC San Diego Chemists Develop New Strategy for ‘Hard-to-Study’ Lipids
July 6, 2018
Ceramides—waxy, oily lipid molecules that affect biological function like insulin resistance, gene regulation and tumor suppression—could be applied to new cancer treatments…if only scientists could study them directly in living organisms. Tackling this task with a brand of chemistry that addresses biological challenges, University of California San Diego Professor Neal…
Researchers Map Lung Development After Birth Into Late Childhood for the First Time
April 12, 2022
How do the lungs develop after taking their first breaths outside the womb? What cellular events and changes early in life give rise to lung malfunction and disease? UC San Diego researchers developed a single-cell atlas of postnatal lung development that could help answer these questions.

August 12, 2021
UC San Diego researchers develop a method to grow hematopoietic stem cells in culture, with clinical implications for bone marrow transplants and aging research.
Protein Discovery Sheds New Light on Cellular Behavior
February 6, 2023
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin and University of California San Diego just published a new paper in Nature Physics featuring previously unknown information about cellular proteins and how they organize themselves.
Locking Down the Big Bang of Immune Cells
September 21, 2017
…the development of immune cells called T cells. These areas activate a change in the 3D structure of DNA that brings together crucial elements necessary for T cell formation. This “big bang” discovery may be unfolding throughout the animal and plant kingdoms as well as aid in combating diseases such…
UC San Diego Cancer Researchers Receive $4 Million CIRM Disease-Team Grant
December 13, 2013
Researcher Thomas J. Kipps, MD, PhD, professor of medicine and deputy director of research operations at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, is principal investigator for one of six “Disease Team” awards approved December 12 by the governing board of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM).
Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technology to Track Cells in the Body
March 14, 2016
…non-invasively see and track cells in living persons is indisputable. Emerging treatments using stem cells and immune cells are poised to most benefit from cell tracking, which would visualize their behavior in the body after delivery. Clinicians require such data to speed these cell treatments to patients. Researchers at University…
