…could enable researchers to better understand how single cells communicate in large neuronal networks.
Joint Resolution: A Link Between Huntington’s Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis
May 15, 2018
Using new analytic tools, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have decoded the epigenetic landscape for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a common autoimmune disease that affects more than 1.3 million Americans.
State-of-the-Art Brain Recordings Reveal How Neurons Resonate
August 12, 2024
Researchers at UC San Diego have shed new light on how the brain processes and synthesizes information. Findings help solve a longstanding mystery in neuroscience.
Light-Shrinking Material Lets Ordinary Microscope See in Super Resolution
June 1, 2021
UC San Diego engineers developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what’s called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope’s resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so that it can be used to directly observe finer structures and details in living cells.
New Chip for Waking Up Small Wireless Devices Could Extend Battery Life
November 12, 2019
A new power saving chip could significantly reduce or eliminate the need to replace batteries in Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wearables. The so-called wake-up receiver wakes up a device only when it needs to communicate and perform its function, saving on power use.
Researchers Produce First Comprehensive Genomic Map of Head and Neck Cancers
January 29, 2015
A team that includes scores of researchers from across the country representing dozens of universities and medical institutions has produced the most comprehensive integrative analysis yet of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), a particularly malignant and deadly type of tumor that accounts for roughly 3 percent of all…
