UCLA researchers discover that MAOIs could activate immune system to shrink various types of tumors.

Scientists confirm that electrons responsible for the northern lights hitch a ride on electromagnetic waves streaming toward Earth at up to 45 million mph.

As the pandemic set in, the students pivoted their research focus from food security in Los Angeles to their fellow UCLA students.

A UCLA-led study found that voluntary legal agreements protect at-risk species more efficiently than public lands.

The work was part of a legal clinic in the UCLA School of Law’s Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.

The impact of California’s comparatively stringent pandemic mitigation measures will be key to the state’s economic growth.

UCLA engineers lay the groundwork for machines with astounding abilities.

Investigators will explore the experiences of people dealing with the disease without hospitalization.

Research brief: The study is based on near-real-time data from U.S. emergency medical service calls.

Microplastics could be present in greater-than-expected concentrations in crops around the world.

A better understanding of specific communities’ death rates could help officials better allocate resources.

The study is the first to combine information about processes both on the surface of the Earth and at the tectonic level.

A UCLA-led study explains how much of the damage is being caused by treated sewage.

The advance, researchers say, is like the cellular equivalent of discovering the Rosetta stone and may eventually lead to new treatments for diseases.

The treatment, developed by researchers from UCLA and the U.K., has restored immune function in more than 95% of patients in three clinical trials.

Sifting through studies on various species’ play behavior, researchers tracked vocalization patterns that show a strong similarity to human laughter.

Projects will be featured on the GO ARTS UCLA online platform, launched today.

UCLA researchers and colleagues hope their first-of-its-kind catalog will reveal new targets for genetic and cell therapies for the disease.

A UCLA-led study suggests hip or spine fractures are not the only indicators for future injury.

The research, conducted on mice, targets a newly discovered molecular “checkpoint” that enables cancer stem cells to evade the immune system.

“Parents should be patient and not expect everything to go back to how it was before,” said UCLA professor Bridget Callaghan.

Fifteen years of radar measurements by a UCLA-led team have provided critical data for understanding many of the planet’s fundamental properties.

In North America, climate change is causing spring to arrive an average of 0.4 days earlier each year; some species could be unable to keep pace with the changes.
