Counties such as San Bernardino, Riverside and Fresno could see public health care take a bigger bite of their budgets, the study reports.

The study could lead to new treatments for a range of advanced epithelial cancers such as lung, prostate and bladder cancers.

“With this type of measurement tool, you could potentially figure out which drugs would work best for each person before even starting treatment,” said UCLA professor Dino Di Carlo.

The recommendations are based on a comprehensive review of the science related to pediatric concussions.

The idea for the project began 20 years ago, when UCLA professor Anne Andrews was researching serotonin and realized that the then-state-of-the-art methods for monitoring neurochemicals couldn’t provide data with sufficient quality.

The distinguished professor of biological chemistry, who shares the honor with C. David Allis of Rockefeller University, was recognized for his groundbreaking research on gene expression.

Chancellor Gene Block said the new report “allows us to demonstrate how every dollar invested in UCLA pays substantial dividends back to people throughout our state.”

The findings provide additional evidence that the processing of social rewards by people with schizophrenia is disrupted, researchers say.

The publication also ranked UCLA first for economic diversity and as the best public university for veterans.

UCLA researchers have found that an often overlooked component of a cell, the extracellular matrix, can influence how much sugar the cell consumes and its migratory behavior.

Findings from a UCLA-led study may ultimately lead to new ways to treat psychiatric disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder, at their root.

Despite a 62 percent minority population with high rates of poverty, low education and lack of insurance — all factors expected to lead to high mortality rates and negative health outcomes — California’s health profile was significantly better than the nation’s as a whole.

The rankings are based on indicators in four main areas: outcomes, resources, engagement and environment.

The innovative collaboration at UCLA bridges the gap between discovery and medicine.

Many patients and doctors are unaware how new therapies can improve quality of life.

The program is both an upper-level undergraduate course and public lecture series that brings together 40 leading minds to discuss 10 timely and fundamental questions.

The analysis shows that legal status plays a significant role in a person’s ability to access services.

The legendary musician has been a part of the faculty since 1978; Dean Judith Smith said the chair will extend his “tireless advocacy work for jazz as an American art form.”

“We expect several of these combinations, or more, will work much better than existing antibiotics,” said Pamela Yeh, one of the study’s two senior authors and a UCLA assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.

In tests at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the device converted 22.4 percent of the incoming energy from the sun, a record for that type of cell.

Confusion about insurance coverage, limited access to doctors and lack of consumer awareness about vaccines are among the barriers to immunization.

Anyone who suspects that they may have been exposed to measles, or who has a set of symptoms that includes fever and rash, should contact their physician immediately.

Findings from the UCLA study could lead to new treatments for patients.

A team of scientists that includes two UCLA College researchers published a study in Nature Communications that sheds light on the phenomenon.
