Blood test that is currently under development may flag concussion in CT-negative patients, enabling them to be evaluated for long-term complications.

While long-term acute care hospitals are designed to help patients recover and regain independence, fewer than 1-in-5 older adults who were transferred to such facilities were alive five years later.

 A new web tool spells out for the first time the exposures that more than 6.5 million working women in California face that could increase their risk for breast cancer, including industrial solvents, antimicrobials and phthalates.

Eighty-eight percent of the e-cigarette waste collected was found at schools serving predominantly upper-income families with mostly white student populations. None were found at schools serving predominantly low- and middle-income families with large Latinx and African American populations.

Researchers discovered a scorpion toxin that targets the “wasabi receptor,” which they think it can be used as a tool for studying chronic pain and inflammation, and may eventually lead to the development of new kinds of non-opioid pain relievers.

Nearly one-third of the students at UCSF are the first in their families to graduate from college. They shared stories of finding mentorship, struggling with self-doubt, and paving the way for others.

Study shows that the adult-to-iPSC conversion process can mutate DNA found in mitochondria, causing mice and humans to reject iPSCs, and stem cell transplants more generally.

Increasing medications for blood pressure when discharging older patients from the hospital may pose a greater risk of falls, fainting and acute kidney injury that outweighs the potential benefits.

In a paper researchers describe a technique that uses a special version of CRISPR developed at UCSF to systematically alter the activity of genes in human neurons generated from stem cells, the first successful merger of stem cell-derived cell types and CRISPR screening technologies.
