State Stem Cell Agency Awards $4M for Blood Cancer Immunotherapy at UC San Diego

November 24, 2021

The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) approved a $4.1 million grant to enable University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers to advance a new chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy from the laboratory into the clinic.

Editing Genes One by One Throughout Colorectal Cancer Cell Genome Uncovers New Drug Targets

September 27, 2017

Cancers driven by mutations in the KRAS gene are among the most deadly. For decades, researchers have tried unsuccessfully to directly target mutant KRAS proteins as a means to treat tumors. Instead of targeting mutant KRAS itself, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine are now looking…

Blood Thinner Found to Significantly Reduce Subsequent Heart Failure Risks

April 24, 2019

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine found using blood thinners in patients with worsening heart failure, coronary artery disease and irregular heart rhythms was associated with a reduced risk of thromboembolic events, such as stroke and heart attack.

Cancer Stem Cells Linked to Drug Resistance

April 20, 2014

Most drugs used to treat lung, breast and pancreatic cancers also promote drug-resistance and ultimately spur tumor growth. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a biomarker called CD61 on the surface of drug-resistant tumors that appears responsible for inducing tumor metastasis by enhancing…

UC San Diego and El Centro Regional Medical Center Expand Clinical Affiliation

December 16, 2015

UC San Diego Health and the City of El Centro have entered the next phase of a comprehensive management services relationship with El Centro Regional Medical Center (ECRMC). Under a new agreement, UC San Diego Health will provide strategic planning and management and consulting services to the ECRMC Board of…

How Breast Cancer Usurps the Powers of Mammary Stem Cells

August 11, 2014

During pregnancy, certain hormones trigger specialized mammary stem cells to create milk-producing cells essential to lactation. Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center have found that mammary stem cells associated with the pregnant mammary gland are related to stem cells found in…

New Blood: Lab-Grown Stem Cells Bode Well for Transplants, Aging Research

August 12, 2021

UC San Diego researchers develop a method to grow hematopoietic stem cells in culture, with clinical implications for bone marrow transplants and aging research.

First in Nation: UC San Diego Health Offers Treatment for Hereditary Amyloidosis

August 18, 2022

New medication now available at UC San Diego Health allows for less frequent visits for patients, helping improve quality of life.

#MedEd: How Doctors Use Social Media to Advance Medicine

August 29, 2023

Ever wonder what your doctor is doing on social media? A new study published in JAMA led by John W. Ayers, Ph.D., from the Qualcomm Institute within the University of California San Diego, finds some physicians are harnessing the reach of social media to share and debate medical advancements.

Researchers Block Pathway to Cancer Cell Replication

July 3, 2012

Research suggests that patients with leukemia sometimes relapse because standard chemotherapy fails to kill the self-renewing leukemia initiating cells, often referred to as cancer stem cells. In such cancers, the cells lie dormant for a time, only to later begin cloning, resulting in a return and metastasis of the disease.…
