A new digital tool helps calculate breast cancer risk for those who may develop advanced cancer that goes undiagnosed despite regular screenings.

Respiratory viral infections pose significant morbidity and mortality to patients with chronic lung diseases like emphysema and COPD, causing exacerbations that drive destruction of normal lung tissue, and leading to one of the most common diagnoses for hospital admissions.

UC San Francisco researchers have uncovered a surprising role for fibroblasts in the lungs in activating T cell inflammation that drives lung destruction in COPD exacerbation triggered by viral infection. They also identified a T cell subset that can be targeted to treat COPD exacerbations.

Facial feminization surgery eliminates sources of misgendering for patients through procedures like hairline advancement, brow lift, rhinoplasty, genioplasty and chondrolaryngoplasty.

UCSF researchers used multiple drug analogs to test CSF1R inhibition in transgenic mice with tauopathy, and observed suppressed biomarkers of neurodegeneration, rescued aberrant behavior, and extended survival in female mice.

A UCSF study finds increase in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at low-volume hospitals over time for all races, insurance types and incomes.

A sexual health strategy called Doxy-PEP, which involves taking doxycycline after condomless sex, is highly effective in reducing bacterial STIs but is still associated with a limited rise in resistant strains of bacteria.
