Flu Virus Shells Could Improve Delivery of mRNA Into Cells
November 30, 2021
UC San Diego nanoengineers developed a new and potentially more effective way to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA) into cells. Their approach involves packing mRNA inside nanoparticles that mimic the flu virus—a naturally efficient vehicle for delivering genetic material such as RNA inside cells.
PTPRZ-MET Fusion Protein: A New Target for Personalized Brain Cancer Treatment
October 13, 2014
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a new fusion protein found in approximately 15 percent of secondary glioblastomas or brain tumors. The finding offers new insights into the cause of this cancer and provides a therapeutic target for personalized oncologic care.
Gene Mutation Found for Aggressive Form of Pancreatic Cancer
May 25, 2014
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a mutated gene common to adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) tumors – the first known unique molecular signature for this rare, but particularly virulent, form of pancreatic cancer.
DARPA Awards $6 Million to Develop Nanotech Therapies for Traumatic Brain Injuries
May 9, 2013
DARPA, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has awarded $6 million to a team of researchers to develop nanotechnology therapies for the treatment of traumatic brain injury and associated infections.
UC San Diego Researchers Isolate Switch that Kills Inactive HIV
September 24, 2019

UC San Diego Scientists Part of Special Package of Studies Describing Human Genome
July 29, 2020
Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine are among the contributors to a package of 10 studies in the journal Nature, describing the latest results from the ongoing Encyclopedia of DNA Elements project, a worldwide effort led by the NIH to understand how the human genome functions.
UC San Diego Chemist Stirs Hope for a New Flu Treatment
March 19, 2018
Each year people all over the world die from the flu. To protect against influenza epidemics and their potentially mortal results, medical professionals encourage vaccination. While generally effective for healthy individuals, vaccinations are less effective for the elderly, the immunocompromised and other high-risk groups. For the healthy, getting a shot…
Supercomputer Simulations Reveal New “Achilles heel” in Dengue Virus
April 30, 2018
By stretching the amount of time proteins can be simulated in their natural state of wiggling and gyrating, a team of researchers at Colorado State University— using supercomputers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center—has identified a critical protein structure that could…
UC San Diego Researchers Develop Efficient Model for Generating Human Stem Cells
August 1, 2013
…Diego School of Medicine report a simple, easily reproducible RNA-based method of generating human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in the August 1 edition of Cell Stem Cell. Their approach has broad applicability for the successful production of iPSCs for use in human stem cell studies and eventual cell therapies.
