Ethnographer Stacy Torres, PhD, is shedding a unique light on how we think about social ties and social relationships among older people.

UCSF lab found that a chemical that acts as a neurotransmitter in the nervous system is essential for cytonemes to mediate cell-to-cell communication between non-neural cells.

More than a thousand projects across the University received federal funding from the National Institutes of Health in 2018, totaling more than $647.8 million.
