Researchers in the UCLA-led study concluded that better treatments for heart failure and new ways of predicting patient outcomes are needed.

The researchers' healthy solution is to move the transit sites 120 feet away from intersections, where high concentrations of noxious exhaust are emitted.

A new study is the first to reveal how sleep deprivation disrupts our brain cells’ ability to communicate with each other, which scientists believe leads to temporary mental lapses.

A report by UCLA’s Darnell Hunt also found that major networks’ diversity programs are failing to meaningfully improve opportunities for black writers and other writers of color.

The report maps out specific strategies for mitigating disparities in care, and for breaking away from the predominantly one-size-fits-all approaches for preventing and treating cancer.

Researchers found substandard access and quality, reflecting inequities for this often-overlooked segment of the state's population.

A UCLA study looks at more than four decades’ worth of data; the findings help public health officials design interventions to address disparities in health care.

Data in UCLA researchers' policy brief also show another year of statewide health insurance gains, now at risk under potential federal funding changes.

UCLA study finds more genetic variation than expected among affected animals in the Santa Monica Mountains.

The advance could be especially important because a fast, accurate diagnosis could help ensure a better recovery.

A new report by UCLA’s WORLD Policy Analysis Center examines all 193 countries that are members of the United Nations.

UCLA researchers identified where and how to electrically stimulate the human brain in order to strengthen people’s recall.

In a clinical trial, a UCLA-led team used a biomaterial embedded with tiny gems to help tissue heal after the procedure.

A UCLA Nursing study found that combining education and entertainment helped encourage patients to seek therapy.

UCLA researchers are using genetics to find out whether the elusive Southern California snake is an endangered species.

To understand how weather patterns behaved centuries ago, the researchers examined the rings of trees such as limber pines and bristlecone pines, the oldest living organisms on Earth.

UCLA history professor Kelly Lytle Hernández’s Million Dollar Hoods project that maps the costs of incarceration in Los Angeles is now housed at the center.

The grants totaling more than $10 million highlight innovative biomedical research projects.

The grant “will allow UCLA to continue our decade-long preeminence in groundbreaking autism research,” said Dr. Daniel Geschwind, director of the UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment.

The researchers found that mouse models that lacked the protein IDOL performed poorly in behavioral tests of spatial memory and fear-based conditioning.

Titan’s liquid methane rain appears to play a major role in shaping its icy surface, and the downpours are much more common than researchers expected.

The discovery in the amygdala provides insights into how the organ regulates emotions and social behavior.

UCLA researchers predicted what the timing of snow and rainwater runoff in the Sierra Nevada could look like by the end of the 21st century.

Using the organoids they created, researchers were able to identify drugs that could prevent the virus’s damaging effects.

The treatment tested in mice disrupts and exploits glucose intake, essentially cutting off the tumor’s nutrients and energy supply. The approach prevents the glioblastoma from growing.
