Looking Back and Ahead, Shiley’s Vision Remains Clear
February 26, 2015
…of the Shiley Eye Center–it celebrates that anniversary this year–remains sharply defined in its accomplishments and focus on the future. When the $8 million center debuted in 1991, launched by a $1 million leadership gift from the late philanthropist Donald Shiley and his wife, Darlene, it stood alone–quite literally. The…
Drug Suppresses Spread of Breast Cancer Caused by Stem-like Cells
December 11, 2017

Adding MS Drug to Targeted Cancer Therapy May Improve Glioblastoma Outcomes
August 8, 2019
The multiple sclerosis drug teriflunomide, paired with targeted cancer therapy, markedly shrinks patient-derived glioblastomas grown in mice by reaching stem cells at the tumor’s root, according to a new UC San Diego School of Medicine study published in Science Translational Medicine.
Split Decision: Stem Cell Signal Linked With Cancer Growth
February 3, 2014
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a protein critical to hematopoietic stem cell function and blood formation. The finding has potential as a new target for treating leukemia because cancer stem cells rely upon the same protein to regulate and sustain their growth.
