Researchers discover a significant gap by race and income between those who are interested in and those who participate in civic activity.

The study also found that people who were more conservative tended to have a higher “conspiracy mentality.”

The framework takes images from a simple, inexpensive microscope and produces images that mimic those from more advanced and expensive ones.

To help the new system “learn” more like people do, the engineers immersed it in an internet replica of the real world.

“The platform is like a motion detector for the microscopic world because of its ability to lock onto any moving objects in a fluid sample,” said Yibo Zhang, a UCLA doctoral student and the study’s first author.

UCLA’s Dr. Michael Gandal said that beyond the important new findings, he is even more optimistic about what the data will help researchers learn in the future.

Researchers from UCLA and Brazil observed at least one of three conditions they were evaluating in 19 of 131 children.

“Making pre-primary education available at no cost is a critical element in efforts to reduce educational and economic inequalities,” said co-author Alison Earle.

In a lab test, half of the mice that received the treatment after having a tumor removed survived for at least 60 days without the tumor regrowing.

The report highlights needed improvement in housing policies and employment opportunities to ensure that incarcerated women and their families successfully adapt.

If future research identifies changes in how lipid behavior influences certain conditions, scientists might be able to stimulate or inhibit phospholipid-reactive T cells to treat them.

The report’s authors write that the big question for the California economy is how long the state’s tech industry boom can continue.

An experiment on the latest SpaceX launch will measure how microgravity affects the brain.

A report by UCLA, UC Berkeley and California Food Policy Advocates found that the state could lose up to $1.67 billion in federal benefits.

The study is the most comprehensive published effort to date to identify the source of neurodegeneration across species.

The United States should provide resources for the mitigation of a possible opioid epidemic in the same way the country provides resources for the ‘war on drugs’ in Mexico, researchers recommend.

The six-year-long study about endocrine treatment is contrary to expectations.

A preview of the paper that was posted on the website ChemRxiv was downloaded 19,000 times in 24 hours, shattering the site’s previous record of 15,000 downloads in six months.

A report by UCLA and UC Berkeley experts suggests policies that could help California protect the progress the state made under the Affordable Care Act in expanding health coverage.

Researchers found that lower activity of an enzyme that helps maintain cells’ health along with DNA damage were associated with worse cognitive performance, such as attention and motor skills.

Psychology professor Adriana Galván says her research shows that the right pillow and comfortable bedding can serve as a relatively inexpensive solution.

Advances in genetics and computing helped biologist Tom Smith determine why seedcrackers’ bills vary in size.

The life scientists have provided the first cell “atlas” of the hippocampus — the part of the brain that helps regulate learning and memory — when it is affected by traumatic brain injury.

The study suggests that lung cancer can be detected earlier, when it is much easier to treat.

High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, sometimes referred to as “good” cholesterol, is brought from the outer wall to the interior of the cell by a protein that helps create a “bridge” between the two areas.
