Study is first clinical trial analyzing a targeted therapy specifically developed to treat brain tumors

Widely used in clothing, household products and food, they resist breaking down in the environment.

In a first, UCSF researchers have identified chronic pain states in individuals directly from their neural activity.

Genomics is explaining how remarkable the little mammals are — and could help identify which species are the sources for derived products on the black market.

You’re not a wanton couch potato: UC San Diego research reveals people actually ‘binge-watch’ TV with a lot of self-control.

Found in oceans around the globe, invertebrate comb jellies have been proven to be the sibling group to all other animals.

Working with fruit flies, researchers have discovered neural pathways that tamp down the pain response.

Genetic analysis suggests Homo sapiens arose from multiple closely related populations in Africa.

Person-to-person transmission is unlikely, but not impossible, experts say.

UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome — a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic material of 47 individuals from different ancestral backgrounds to allow for a deeper, more accurate understanding of worldwide genomic diversity.

“Think of deep sleep almost like a life raft that keeps memory afloat, rather than memory getting dragged down by the weight of Alzheimer’s disease pathology,” one researcher said.

Learning multiple tasks led to cognition improvements that got better with the passage of time.
