Study reveals that stem cells lacking the protein have an increased ability to replicate in the natural environment and following transplantation.

National guidelines recommend that men in these cases should not be treated with radiation or surgery, since they are unlikely to live long enough to benefit from treatment.

Scientists from UCLA, Harvard, Mass General and Stanford present strong evidence that a chemical modification on RNA plays a key role in determining embryonic stem cells’ ability to adopt different cellular identities.

Researchers at UCLA have devised a plan they say would be much more effective in reducing HIV transmission than simply trying to distribute antiretroviral drugs to as many people as possible.

The findings will help physicians determine the best treatment for patients most likely to respond to the drug and develop new combination treatments for melanoma and other cancers.

New findings by UCLA neurophysicists could be significant for people who use virtual reality for gaming, military, commercial, scientific or other purposes.

New research provides a better understanding of how osteonecrosis of the jaw progresses and could guide the development of therapeutic and preventive measures.

Understanding the self-replication mechanisms is critical for improving stem cell therapies for blood-related diseases and cancers.

Company emerges from King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology and the UCLA Center for Excellence in Green Technology. It aims to revolutionize electronics by using carbon-based nanomaterials to lower power consumption and improve performance of smartphones and wearable devices.

More than half a million older Californians — 12.6 percent of the state’s senior population — fall more than once a year, but nearly 60 percent of them fail to seek medical attention afterward, according to a UCLA study.

Researchers assessed 190 U.N. countries’ progress toward fulfilling their commitments to the right to education, protection from child labor and child marriage, and discrimination against children with disabilities.

The scientists created the largest protein ever that self-assembles into a molecular “cage.” The protein is hundreds of times smaller than a human cell.

When adult mice with Noonan syndrome were treated with lovastatin, their memory and ability to remember objects and navigate mazes improved dramatically.

Plants worldwide are more sensitive to drought than many scientists realized. The research may improve predictions of which plant species will survive climate change.

The technique, developed by researchers from UCLA and the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, shows promise in powering the next generation of particle accelerators.

The disease may be more harmful than previously thought, say UCLA researchers, who found genetic damage is present not only in the lungs but also in circulating blood.

Scientists explained the bizarre object in the center of the Milky Way that some astronomers believed was a hydrogen gas cloud headed toward our galaxy’s enormous black hole.

UCLA researchers have discovered how naturally occurring vault nanoparticles form in cells, which could lead to understanding the root causes of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other diseases.

UCLA research may lead to a simple saliva test to diagnose at an early stage diabetes and cancer, and perhaps neurological disorders and autoimmune diseases.
