People told how much cancer-causing pollution they could prevent were more likely to change their power usage than people told how much money they could save.

Research could have broad, long-term impact in improving disease modeling and devising new therapies for patients.

UCLA Anderson associate professor Maia Young studies organizational behavior, and some of her research involves your reputation as a leader, as someone who knows how to get things done. If you have a bit of mystique, that enhances people's perception of you.

The study sheds new light on why TM7 has thus far resisted scientific study and its role in the progression of periodontitis and other diseases.

White House immigration staff members attended a briefing Friday by UCLA students on the economic impact of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which President Obama enacted by executive order in 2012 and expanded this year.

New UCLA brain research offers hope that lost memories can be restored. The study provides evidence that long-term memory is not stored at synapses, as previously thought.

UCLA study shows that combining palbociclib with letrozole effectively doubled the length of time women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer were on treatment without their cancer worsening.

UCLA researchers led by Aydogan Ozcan have developed a lens-free microscope that can be used to detect cancer with the same accuracy as larger and more expensive optical microscopes.

New UCLA research indicates that use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter along with behavioral psychology can boost HIV testing rates, suggesting a valuable tool in the fight against the virus that causes AIDS.

UCLA’s Edward Garon, the study’s principal investigator, says the drug offers new hope for people with lung cancer who often have few treatment options.

In results characterized as “very surprising,” UCLA researchers found for the first time that higher-earning clinicians make more money by ordering more procedures and services per patient rather than by seeing more patients, which may not be in patients’ best interest.

Climate model simulations of the 21st century show little change in total precipitation, but more rain instead of snow, posing flooding risk and shortening chance to capture water.

A series of information-packed newsletters published by students working for UCLA's Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research has eased the arduous search for research funding for faculty.

A 28-foot-long elevator from an Airbus A330 was donated to the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. The part, which is used for flight control on the aircraft’s tail, is valued at $750,000.

Study reveals that stem cells lacking the protein have an increased ability to replicate in the natural environment and following transplantation.

National guidelines recommend that men in these cases should not be treated with radiation or surgery, since they are unlikely to live long enough to benefit from treatment.

Scientists from UCLA, Harvard, Mass General and Stanford present strong evidence that a chemical modification on RNA plays a key role in determining embryonic stem cells’ ability to adopt different cellular identities.

Researchers at UCLA have devised a plan they say would be much more effective in reducing HIV transmission than simply trying to distribute antiretroviral drugs to as many people as possible.

The findings will help physicians determine the best treatment for patients most likely to respond to the drug and develop new combination treatments for melanoma and other cancers.

New findings by UCLA neurophysicists could be significant for people who use virtual reality for gaming, military, commercial, scientific or other purposes.

New research provides a better understanding of how osteonecrosis of the jaw progresses and could guide the development of therapeutic and preventive measures.

Understanding the self-replication mechanisms is critical for improving stem cell therapies for blood-related diseases and cancers.

Company emerges from King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology and the UCLA Center for Excellence in Green Technology. It aims to revolutionize electronics by using carbon-based nanomaterials to lower power consumption and improve performance of smartphones and wearable devices.

More than half a million older Californians — 12.6 percent of the state’s senior population — fall more than once a year, but nearly 60 percent of them fail to seek medical attention afterward, according to a UCLA study.

Eighteen children with SCID have been cured of the disease after receiving the therapy in clinical trials at UCLA and the National Institutes of Health.
