New technique is more streamlined and less expensive than current methods.

New system can distinguish between subtly different cells so that only the correct, therapeutic cells are used for treatments.

The study’s authors write that while the 2016 Academy Award nominations generated headlines and attention, they merely hint at systemic problems that reach every sector of the industry.

Previous research showed that ice shelves are vulnerable to even small increases in greenhouse gases, but the new study was the first to demonstrate that huge, land-based glaciers are also vulnerable.

Five faculty members from various departments received grants in 2015 designed to increase the number of African Americans in doctoral programs and support their trajectory toward academic careers in the arts and sciences.

UCLA awardees are Dino Di Carlo, a professor of bioengineering; Jonathan Hopkins, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering; and Benjamin Williams, an associate professor of electrical engineering.

Researchers also found an existing drug that can promote nerve regeneration in the central nervous system.

Researchers found the association between ozone and mortality began at 35 parts per billion.

UCLA researchers studied more than 1,400 people being treated for heart failure at six California medical centers.

The report recommends that a state agency and agricultural commissioners evaluate pesticide mixtures and implement regulations to more adequately protect human health.

Students in UCLA’s Specialty Training and Advanced Research Program pursue their Ph.D. after finishing medical school, which maintains close ties between clinical education and research training.

Findings could lead to better care planning and better outcomes for patients whose age puts them at higher risk

The study’s lead author says the findings “have the potential to dramatically decrease the number of undetected cases of Type 2 diabetes, prevent complications from the disease and save lives.”

Findings shed light on why some head and neck cancers fare much worse after radiation therapy despite optimum treatment regimens.

People with obstructive sleep apnea show significant changes in the levels of two neurotransmitters, which could explain some of the symptoms that affect patients’ daily lives.

The study was the first to create corrected human iPS cells that could directly restore functional muscle tissue affected by the disease.

UCLA professor says poor communication between patients and doctors is a major problem; the new findings could be a step toward improving them.

Findings from the annual CIRP Freshman Survey suggest that participation in demonstrations may even intensify in the months ahead.

The algorithm helps computers “see” features of objects that aren’t visible using standard imaging techniques.

The new model seeks to improve upon the traditional appointment, which often doesn’t leave enough time to discuss parenting issues and child behavior and development.

UCLA scientists have developed a computational model of the human airway that may someday help people who suffer from sleep apnea.

In this Q&A, Jon Christensen of UCLA and his colleague Adam Wolf discuss their study of how climate change affects plant species’ shifting in California.

Scientists have pinpointed two tiny clusters of neurons that are responsible for transforming normal breaths into sighs, which could one day allow physicians to treat patients who cannot breathe deeply on their own.

A UCLA-led study exploring California plant species’ shifts to higher elevations showed that non-native and invasive plants are moving fastest.

Discovery provides scientists with critical information on the best way to create stem cells for purposes such as cell transplantation or organ regeneration.
