If your neighbors can see your political participation, does that change how you participate in the political process?

“Today’s rich biodiversity among marine fish shows the fingerprints of the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period,” said Michael Alfaro, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.

An average of 6.8 of every 1,000 girls and 5.7 of every 1,000 boys had been or were married at the time they were surveyed, according to the study.

Fifty-five percent of respondents said they, a close friend or family member had considered moving from their neighborhood because of rising housing costs.

Such thinning can be a precursor to cognitive decline and dementia in middle-aged and older adults.

Researchers used cryo electron microscopy to obtain the first atomic model of the particle, which is made up of more than 3,000 protein molecules comprising tens of millions of atoms.

Researchers have found that two targeted therapies could be more effective if used in combination to treat squamous cell carcinomas of the lung.

The technique that uses cryo-electron microscopy should help scientists better understand disease-causing proteins.

The cells that de-differentiated — meaning that they reverted back to a less-mature cell — showed sensitivity to a type of self-inflicted cell death called ferroptosis.

The studies found a link between risk-related terms that Google and Twitter users researched or tweeted about and subsequent syphilis trends that were reported to the CDC.

The new method will improve the ability to identify genetic changes most likely to harm cells and contribute to disease.

The advance could help bring high-quality medical diagnostics into resource-poor regions, where people otherwise do not have access to high-end technology.

Working to upend one of the most stalwart of construction materials, a team of UCLA researchers created a near carbon dioxide-neutral version of concrete.

This discovery of a new function may lead to new treatments for obesity, fatty liver and other metabolic diseases.

The research explains concepts that were described nearly 90 years ago but had remained poorly understood until now.

The scientists are working on a way to stop heart disease in patients with this severe muscular dystrophy, which affects one in 5,000 male babies in the U.S.

“This new tool makes possible experiments that we have been wanting to perform for many years,” said UCLA professor Baljit Khakh.

From water resources to wildfires, UCLA research reveals a climate future that will have wide-ranging consequences.

The research, which enabled viewing of an enormous blue star nicknamed Icarus, increases understanding of the fundamental composition of the universe, said UCLA’s Tommaso Treu, co-author of the study.

The five-year award is intended to fund a research project that addresses the needs of both patients and caregivers.

The statistical analysis software the researchers have designed is more precise and reliable than previous methods.

UCLA research could help scientists unravel the reasons that low-birthweight babies face a higher risk of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease as adults.

Half of those admitted to juvenile justice facilities before their teenage years reported suicidal thoughts as adults, according to a new study by UCLA researchers.

The findings of this study could lead to the creation of new treatments for speech problems in people, including children with autism.

The effort helps people continue getting good treatment after they get out of jail — and helps make sure they stay on their anti-HIV medications.
