“This technology is a game-changer for us drug discovery scientists,” said Robert Damoiseaux, a UCLA professor of molecular and medical pharmacology.

A UCLA-led analysis identifies brain measures of major psychiatric disease. Researchers also pinpointed important differences in these disorders’ gene expression.

UCLA is already leading the way through its Sustainable LA Grand Challenge.

A ‘buffering effect’ of two key regions shielded some study participants from the symptoms of depression, a new study by UCLA psychologists has found.

The hardy marine invertebrates survive a bleaching process but their growth is slowed, a UCLA study conducted off the coast of American Samoa has found.

UCLA has acquired a rare lunar meteorite that was blasted off the moon by the impact of a large meteoroid, and landed in North Africa.

‘Pelotas Oaxaqueñas/Oaxacan Ball Games: Photographs by Leopoldo Peña’ is on view until July 15.

The techniques the researchers employed should pave the way to additional studies on the tumors’ molecular details.

A new study suggests that cells engineered by a UCLA-led team have the potential to provide long-term immunity against the virus that causes AIDS.

Boosting cholesterol levels in mice spurs their intestinal stem cells to divide faster, dramatically speeding the formation of tumors.

A UCLA study makes recommendations including standardized data reporting and geriatric training, outreach and more integrated services.

Study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law contains first estimates of youth at risk of undergoing the practice health organizations say is harmful.

The school will present more than two dozen performances this winter quarter by world-class student ensembles and guest artists, as well as masterclasses and symposia.

In places where UCLA researchers found higher levels of stigma, students were more likely to report they seek treatment from a religious group or a religious leader.

The substance’s beneficial properties might be due to its ability to reduce inflammation, which has been linked to both Alzheimer’s disease and major depression, according to Dr. Gary Small.

There is no drug or vaccine to treat or prevent KSHV, which causes cancer, but the researchers showed that an inhibitor could be developed to break it down.

UCLA scientists used leading-edge genomics to identify and eliminate the virus’ defense mechanisms, enabling them to develop a vaccine “candidate” that is safe and effective in animals.

By limiting physicians’ use of some standard efficiency tools, UCLA-led researchers found that note writing actually became more efficient.

The screenings are an important part of the Depression Grand Challenge, which was launched by UCLA in 2015 to reduce the burden of depression worldwide.

Yellow-bellied marmots live much longer, on average, if they are less social and more isolated than if they are more social and less isolated, a UCLA-led study has found.

From taking radio into orbit to pioneering work on organ transplants, Rothblatt was recognized for a lifetime of accomplishments.

The findings, which counter the conventional wisdom that a cancer which is highly fibrotic could not respond to immunotherapy, have the potential to help scientists identify individuals most likely to benefit from the treatment.

Air travel mitigation fees will be placed into a fund, which will then be made available annually to the campus to finance university projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The protocol could be a step toward therapies to restore sensation in people who are paralyzed and have lost feeling in parts of their body.

The scientists identified factors that can set the stage for disorders like schizophrenia, depression and ADHD that appear later in life.
