This Injected Protein-like Polymer Helps Tissues Heal After a Heart Attack
Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to encourage tissue repair and promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack. Researche...
AI Helps Unravel a Cause of Alzheimer's Disease and Identify a Therapeutic Candidate
A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function that triggers a pathway that disrupts how cells in the brain turn genes on and off.
More Power Grid Connectivity in Western U.S Could Supercharge Clean Energy
A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego offers a first-of-its-kind look at how deeper coordination among Western U.S. states could lower the cost of decarbonizing the electric grid—and speed up the clean energy transition.
Childhood Exposure to Bacterial Toxin May Be Triggering Colorectal Cancer Epidemic Among the Young
In an effort to explain a modern medical mystery, an international team of researchers led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego has identified a potential microbial culprit behind the alarming rise in early-onset colorectal cancer: a bacterial toxin called colibactin.
A New Robotic Gripper Based on Measuring Tape is Sizing Up Fruit and Veggie Picking
This robotic gripper has two fingers made from measuring tape. It can pick up fragile objects, including fruits and veggies. It can also use a screwdriver, screw in a lightbulb and open a jar of spices.
