Science + Technology

Scientists at the UCLA Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have discovered that a certain metabolic molecule helps pluripotent stem cells mature faster.

UCLA biologists have found genetic evidence that supports keeping the gray wolf protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which might rule this fall to remove it from the endangered list.

The UCLA-designed platform uses holographic imaging to produce high-resolution images of the crystal-like objects that are the telltale signs of gout.

The research could improve scientists’ ability to understand health care, economics and the environment, and to glean much more pertinent insight from data.

The finding could help reduce the number of deaths from drug-resistant infections — currently about 700,000 each year.

Researchers have identified mechanisms that determine how the deadliest form of skin cancer can become resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors, which could lead to the development of new treatments.

In addition to uncovering interesting insights about the auto industry, the UCLA study offers a new lens through which researchers could analyze cultural and technological change.

The “virtual heart” can simulate tiny, subtle changes in cells and tissues as well as the larger impact on the entire organ.

Bhaumik, a native of West Bengal, India, played a key role in developing the technology that paved the way for Lasik eye surgery.

A UCLA-led research team used big data analysis and new levels of precision to study three decades of data. The new tool could be useful for studying other regions.

President Obama announced a $70 million award today to a nonprofit co-founded by UCLA to create a nationwide Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute.

The technique, developed by a team led by UCLA professor Yi Xing, is an innovative way of using biomedical big data to achieve precision medicine.

Donations to the Klug Family Support Fund will go directly to the late professor's immediate family.

Klug, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, died June 1 in a shooting in his office.

Kepler-62f could have atmospheric compositions that allow it to be warm enough to have surface liquid water, which would make it possible for the planet to support life.

The researchers made the discovery using an effect called gravitational lensing to see the incredibly faint object, which was born just after the Big Bang.

The sites perform sophisticated, real-time reasoning to ensure that a specific vehicle could be manufactured with the consumer’s preferred combination of options and features.

UCLA scientists have recently partnered with the Sandia National Laboratory to develop special screening libraries based on a gene-editing technology called CRISPR.

Mutations in mitochondrial DNA can cause devastating diseases that mainly affect tissues and cells with high-energy demands, like the brain and muscles.

Small enough to fit on a standard silicon computer chip, the device developed at UCLA Engineering could be used for improved timing, attosecond physics and measuring universal constants.

Viewers will have the rare opportunity to watch Mercury glide slowly across the sun.

UCLA campus planners are using a digital tool developed by the now-defunct Urban Simulation Team to do bird’s-eye and ground-level simulations to help architects fit buildings into available spaces.

UCLA biologists write that the findings should help guide how endangered species are treated.

The researchers discovered good news as well: An omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid seems to reverse the harmful changes.

The device combines two components invented at UCLA: a photonic time stretch microscope and a deep learning computer program that identifies cancer cells with over 95 percent accuracy.
