Small Molecule Drug Reverses ADAR1-induced Cancer Stem Cell Cloning Capacity

February 16, 2023

UC San Diego researchers report that a late-stage, pre-clinical small molecule inhibitor reverses malignant hyper-editing by a protein that promotes silencing of the immune response, metastasis and therapeutic resistance in 20 different cancer types.

Sound of Summer

May 1, 2023

After writing songs for years, Nicky Youre ’21 finally landed a smash hit. In the spring of his senior year, he penned a fun, summertime tune that went through the … sunroof.

New Merkin Fellowship Program Expands Global Research Opportunities

April 13, 2023

A new fellowship program has been established at UC San Diego through the generous support of Richard Merkin, MD, making it possible for graduate students to collaborate across continents to advance translational medicine.

Phenomenal Phytoplankton: Scientists Uncover Cellular Process Behind Oxygen Production

May 31, 2023

According to new research, the amount of oxygen in one of 10 breaths was made possible thanks to a newly identified cellular mechanism that promotes photosynthesis in marine phytoplankton. The study, led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, was published May 31 in Current Biology.

New Insight into How Plant Cells Divide

July 6, 2023

Plant and animal stem cells both rely on the cytoskeleton to divide properly, but a new study finds that they use them in opposite ways—while animal cells pull on the cytoskeleton, plant cells push it away. Harnessing that action could help scientists engineer more resilient plants.

‘Plug and Play’ Nanoparticles Could Make It Easier To Tackle Various Biological Targets

October 30, 2023

UC San Diego engineers have developed modular nanoparticles that can be easily customized to target different biological entities such as tumors, viruses or toxins. The nanoparticles can be tailored for various applications, ranging from targeted drug delivery to neutralizing biological agents.

UC San Diego Researchers Awarded $1 Million to Build First-of-its-Kind Microscope

November 7, 2023

The National Science Foundation has awarded $1 million to an interdisciplinary UC San Diego research team to build a first-of-its-kind, super-resolution microscope for advancements in the biomedical sciences.

Detecting Pathogens—and Sepsis—Faster and More Accurately by Melting DNA

February 21, 2024

A new analysis method can detect pathogens in blood samples faster and more accurately than blood cultures, which are the current state of the art for infection diagnosis. The new method, called digital DNA melting analysis, can produce results in under six hours.

Five UC San Diego Scientists Elected AAAS Fellows

April 30, 2024

Five University of California San Diego researchers have been elected 2023 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), one of the world’s largest general scientific organizations.

Researchers Identify Brain Circuits Tied to the Behavior of Schooling Fish

July 17, 2024

UC San Diego researchers have uncovered the roots of group behavior in the brains of schooling fish. Glassfish, they found, depend on their sense of vision to coordinate social swimming behavior in schools and increase their ability to follow coordinated group movements as they mature.
