Political Lessons from the Past
December 6, 2018
“Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell Into Tyranny” by Department of History professor Edward J. Watts explores what factors made the 500-year republic susceptible to collapse, where lessons from the the past can apply to today’s political climate.
When Water Temperatures Change, the Molecular Motors of Cephalopods Do Too
June 8, 2023
Working with live squid hatchlings at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego scientists find the animals can tune their proteome on the fly in response to changes in ocean temperature via the unique process of RNA recoding. The findings inspire new questions about basic protein function.
National Clinical Trial Launches, Will Test Promising Vaccine Against Novel Coronavirus
July 24, 2020
UC San Diego Health and the Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute will be sites for an accelerated national clinical trial to assess the efficacy and immunogenicity of a vaccine intended to protect against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
The History of Insects Living on the Open Ocean Tracks with the History of the Currents They Ride
September 8, 2021
UC San Diego researchers and colleagues examined the genetics of three ocean skater species across the eastern Pacific Ocean. The results of the study reveal that the skaters became specialized on different current systems, as those currents changed into their modern configurations.
How a Single Gene Alteration May Have Separated Modern Humans from Predecessors
February 11, 2021
UC San Diego researchers discovered a single gene alteration that may help explain cognitive differences between modern humans and our predecessor, and used that information to develop Neanderthal-like brain organoids in the lab.
Computer Scientists Honored for ‘Tracing’ Research That Stood 10-Year Test of Time
March 30, 2017
At the USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI) this week in Boston, Mass., a team of researchers including UC San Diego computer scientist George Porter accepted an award for the most influential paper among those presented a decade ago at the annual conference. The 2017 NSDI Test…
‘MUSIC Map’ Reveals Some Brain Cells Age Faster and Are More Prevalent in Alzheimer’s
May 14, 2024
UC San Diego engineers have discovered that some brain cells age more rapidly than others, and they are disproportionately abundant in individuals afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, researchers observed sex-specific differences in the aging process of certain brain cells, with the female cortex exhibiting a higher ratio of “old” oligodendrocytes…
New Nano3 Microscope Will Allow High-Resolution Look Inside Cells
August 8, 2014
The University of California, San Diego’s Nanofabrication Cleanroom Facility (Nano3) is the first institution to obtain a novel FEI Scios dual-beam microscope, with an adaptation for use at cryogenic temperatures. The new microscope will enable research among a highly diverse user base, ranging from materials science to structural and molecular…
Coastal Water Pollution Transfers to the Air in Sea Spray Aerosol and Reaches People on Land
March 2, 2023
New research led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has confirmed that coastal water pollution transfers to the atmosphere in sea spray aerosol, which can reach people beyond just beachgoers, surfers, and swimmers.
