Human vocal sounds have the same rhythmic quality as the sounds made by many mammals, songbirds, and even some species of fish. UCSF researchers have found the brainstem circuit responsible, and it's connected breath control.

UCSF researchers found that cancers from different parts of the body are immunologically similar to one another. They described 12 classes of "immune archetypes" to classify cancer tumors, which can provide unique strategies for enhancing patients’ choice of cancer immunotherapies.

Brain maps and developmental outcomes differ greatly in newborns with two of the most common brain injury types, which may have implications for early intervention.

UCSF researchers show how physical activity protects cognition by altering brain chemistry that maintains synapses, especially for the elderly.

A new study led by scientists at UCSF's Quantitative Biosciences Institute and University College London found that the Alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2 ramped up production of a protein that it uses to stifle infected cells’ immune-stimulating signals, helping it evade immune detection and accelerate its transmission.

There is some information that is known about the variant and other information that sti
