Chancellor Gene Block said the new report “allows us to demonstrate how every dollar invested in UCLA pays substantial dividends back to people throughout our state.”

The findings provide additional evidence that the processing of social rewards by people with schizophrenia is disrupted, researchers say.

The publication also ranked UCLA first for economic diversity and as the best public university for veterans.

UCLA researchers have found that an often overlooked component of a cell, the extracellular matrix, can influence how much sugar the cell consumes and its migratory behavior.

Findings from a UCLA-led study may ultimately lead to new ways to treat psychiatric disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder, at their root.

Despite a 62 percent minority population with high rates of poverty, low education and lack of insurance — all factors expected to lead to high mortality rates and negative health outcomes — California’s health profile was significantly better than the nation’s as a whole.

The rankings are based on indicators in four main areas: outcomes, resources, engagement and environment.

The innovative collaboration at UCLA bridges the gap between discovery and medicine.

Many patients and doctors are unaware how new therapies can improve quality of life.

The program is both an upper-level undergraduate course and public lecture series that brings together 40 leading minds to discuss 10 timely and fundamental questions.

The analysis shows that legal status plays a significant role in a person’s ability to access services.

The legendary musician has been a part of the faculty since 1978; Dean Judith Smith said the chair will extend his “tireless advocacy work for jazz as an American art form.”

“We expect several of these combinations, or more, will work much better than existing antibiotics,” said Pamela Yeh, one of the study’s two senior authors and a UCLA assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.

In tests at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the device converted 22.4 percent of the incoming energy from the sun, a record for that type of cell.

Confusion about insurance coverage, limited access to doctors and lack of consumer awareness about vaccines are among the barriers to immunization.

Anyone who suspects that they may have been exposed to measles, or who has a set of symptoms that includes fever and rash, should contact their physician immediately.

Findings from the UCLA study could lead to new treatments for patients.

A team of scientists that includes two UCLA College researchers published a study in Nature Communications that sheds light on the phenomenon.

The study suggests that using pembrolizumab and SD-101 together could be effective for people whose tumors have not responded to other therapies.

Washington Monthly rankings factor in the benefits of research, social mobility and public service.

The research provides the first direct evidence of the proteins moving through PTEX, the protein complex that transports malaria proteins into the red blood cell.

The findings open the door to future study about whether specific interventions, such as changes to diet, could affect brain function and thus affect the desire to overeat or to eat when not hungry.

Dr. Daniel Lu, the study’s lead author, said the benefit lasted for two to four weeks, suggesting that the spinal cord’s neural circuitry retains a ‘memory’ of the treatment.
