Chemical Disguise Transforms RNAi Drug Delivery

November 17, 2014

Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have developed a way to chemically disguise RNAi drugs so that they are able to enter cells. Once inside, cellular machinery converts these disguised drug precursors — called siRNNs — into active RNAi drugs.

Southern California’s First Real-Time MRI-Guided Gene Therapy for Brain Cancer

August 6, 2013

Neurosurgeons at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center are among the first in the world to utilize real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance for delivery of gene therapy as a potential treatment for brain tumors.

Common Acid Reflux Medications Linked to Increased Kidney Disease Risk

February 19, 2019

Mining a large database of adverse reactions to medications, UC San Diego researchers found that people who took proton pump inhibitors (e.g., Prilosec, Nexium) for heartburn and acid reflux were more likely to experience kidney disease than people who took other forms of antacid.

Quantitative Approaches Provide New Perspective on Development of Antibiotic Resistance

November 28, 2013

Using quantitative models of bacterial growth, a team of UC San Diego biophysicists has discovered the bizarre way by which antibiotic resistance allows bacteria to multiply in the presence of antibiotics, a growing health problem in hospitals and nursing homes across the United States.

Varying Drug Levels in the Body Could Speed the Emergence of Drug-Resistant Bacteria

June 19, 2012

Strains of bacteria able to resist multiple antibiotics pose a growing threat to public health, yet the means by which resistance quickly emerges aren’t well understood.
