New Mouse Model Points to Therapy for Liver Disease

August 18, 2014

In a paper published online in Cancer Cell, scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine describe a novel mouse model that closely resembles human NASH and use it to demonstrate that interference with a key inflammatory protein inhibits both the development of NASH and its progression…

Finding Leukemia’s Weakness Using Genome-Wide CRISPR Technology

April 20, 2020

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used CRISPR technology to identify key regulators of aggressive chronic myeloid leukemia.

Access Denied: Leukemia Thwarted by Cutting Off Link to Environmental Support

July 29, 2015

A new study by researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine reveals a protein’s critical – and previously unknown – role in the development and progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a fast-growing and extremely difficult-to-treat blood cancer. The finding offers a novel target for better treating…

UC San Diego Partners with San Ysidro Health to Expand COVID-19 Testing

October 1, 2020

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, in collaboration with local partners, have been awarded a $5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to implement a program of widespread testing for COVID-19 in San Ysidro.

UC San Diego, UC San Francisco Launch New Cancer Cell Mapping Initiative

January 29, 2015

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and University of California, San Francisco, with support from a diverse team of collaborators, have launched an ambitious new project – dubbed the Cancer Cell Map Initiative or CCMI – to determine how all of the components of a…

Survival Is a Mixed Matter for Deadliest of Pancreatic Cancers

October 5, 2022

UC San Diego researchers discover that quality and mix of protein in a type of pancreatic cancer is the determinant of whether the prognosis is poor or very poor.

Unraveling the Complexity of Mother’s Milk

January 12, 2017

…disciplines—including developmental biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, nutritional sciences, biomedical technology, medicine and social sciences and education—the center will work closely with national and international partners. Collaborative studies will address how environmental variables such as diet, stress and exercise impact milk production; how maternal genetics affect milk composition; how milk components promote…

Roger Tsien Inducted Into National Inventors Hall of Fame

January 12, 2023

The late Roger Tsien, who won a share of the 2008 Nobel Prize for the development of fluorescent protein as a new way to illuminate the workings of life, has been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Novel Molecular Dynamics Captures Atomic-level Detail of CRISPR-Cas9 Activity

June 28, 2017

Using a novel molecular dynamics method capable of capturing the motion of gyrating proteins at time intervals up to one thousand times greater than previous efforts, a team led by UC San Diego researchers has identified, for the first time, the myriad structural changes that activate and drive CRISPR-Cas9, the…

Antibody Breaks Leukemia’s Hold, Providing New Therapeutic Approach

October 27, 2016

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive cancer known for drug resistance and relapse. In an effort to uncover new treatment strategies, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center discovered that a cell surface molecule known as CD98 promotes AML. The study also…
