The researchers will identify biomarkers associated with the development of epilepsy and develop therapies designed to prevent or modify the condition.

Sixty-two percent of California voters said access to coastal areas is a problem, and even more said that they were deterred by the cost of parking, overnight accommodations and transportation options.

Researchers found that combining a vaccine developed at UCLA with two drugs that modulate distinct aspects of the immune system was more effective at allowing T cells to attack glioblastoma than the vaccine alone.

A UCLA-led research team has identified a drug and dose regimen that may cut the time by as much as 75 percent, while simultaneously reducing the risk that patients could develop drug-resistant TB.

UCLA’s Jonathan Aurnou and collaborators in Marseille, France, demonstrated that the planet’s jets likely extend thousands of miles below its visible atmosphere.

New UCLA research finds that mental sharpness in women begins to decline as early as their 50s.

Researchers have demonstrated how specialized proteins are able to change the cellular characteristics of skin cells and create induced pluripotent stem cells, which have the ability to turn into any cell type in the body. The findings could influence the creation of healthy tissues to cure disease.

The youngest age group has the highest estimated percentage of individuals who identify as transgender.

UCLA-led research shows that adding nanoparticles of aluminum oxide allows for more control over manufacturing processes, which could make them more efficient and reliable.

Late-night canvassing to assess a meningitis outbreak exemplifies the dedication to the LGBT community that has earned Ian Holloway national recognition for his groundbreaking research.

The UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge awarded its second round competitive research grants this month, providing $1 million to eight new projects focusing on renewable energy, transportation and urban ecosystems.

The device, developed by UCLA’s Aydogan Ozcan and colleagues in Sweden, could be manufactured for less than $500 each — far less expensive than the equipment that labs use for the same tests.

To turn on its genome — the full set of genes inherited from each parent — a mammalian embryo needs to relocate a group of proteins, researchers have discovered. The metabolic proteins move to the DNA-containing nuclei about two days after a mouse embryo is fertilized, according to the study.

A UCLA-led research team reports that the moon is at least 4.51 billion years old and probably formed only about 60 million years after the birth of the solar system — 40 million to 140 million years earlier than had been thought.

After 10 weeks, children who had received a UCLA-developed intervention for autism were spending more time interacting with others rather than playing independently.

Almost half of the fish ordered at Los Angeles-area sushi restaurants turned out to be mislabeled, which has both environmental and public health implications.

UCLA researchers have identified a signature brain-wave pattern for children with autism spectrum disorder related to a genetic condition. They say this signature is among the first quantitative biomarkers for any syndrome associated with autism spectrum disorder.

The key is “sequentially switched delay lines,” an approach similar to the way passenger trains are routed from one track to another, to allow them to enter and exit train stations at the same time and avoid collisions.

UCLA and the Los Angeles LGBT Center have developed a risk calculator that could help men who have sex with men decide whether to take pre-exposure prophylaxis.

DNA collected from tip of the base of the feathers enable the scientists to create fine-scale maps tracing the migration of species of birds so they can better focus conservation efforts.

UCLA-led researchers suggest that blocking a protein called type I interferon may actually help combat the virus that causes AIDS.

UCLA professor Henry Kelly examines historical canonical legal procedures to correct the popular myths around the Italian astronomer’s belief in a sun-centered solar system.

Researchers believe that modulating electrical signals in the autonomic nervous system holds promise for better ways to treat heart failure and other common cardiovascular problems.

UCLA-led research found people with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and a certain genetic mutation have improved survival when given a drug in combination with standard therapies.

The pain of loneliness can cut deeper than a knife. But its implications go beyond inner turmoil and the corrosion of emotional health. It can contribute to a host of debilitating and sometimes lethal diseases.
