'MUSIC Map' Reveals Some Brain Cells Age Faster and Are More Prevalent in Alzheimer’s
UC San Diego engineers have discovered that some brain cells age more rapidly than others, and they are disproportionately abundant in individuals afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, researchers observed sex-specific differences in the aging process of certain brain cells, with t...
Franklin Antonio Hall Sparks Research Collaborations
From improving tools for robot-assisted surgery to studying how humans prefer to interact with robots, collaborations across different departments at the Jacobs School of Engineering are in the spotlight in this year’s accepted papers for the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and ...
Plant Virus Treatment Shows Promise in Fighting Metastatic Cancers in Mice
An experimental treatment made from a plant virus is effective at protecting against a broad range of metastatic cancers in mice, shows a new study from the University of California San Diego. The treatment, composed of nanoparticles fashioned from the cowpea mosaic virus—a virus that infects ...
In Memoriam: Joan Klein Jacobs, Beloved Philanthropist and Community Leader
Jacobs left a legacy of vast positive impact on UC San Diego, the region and the world. Together with her husband, Irwin, Jacobs’ philanthropic support spanned the entire UC San Diego campus – from health and medicine, to arts and culture, to technology and global transformation.
Soft Robots, Tough Problems
Robots that can assist physicians during surgery. Robots that can swim. Robots that can grip delicate objects. These were some of the demonstrations on display at Robosoft, the biggest conference in the field of soft robotics, this year.
Biodegradable 'Living Plastic' Houses Bacterial Spores That Help It Break Down
A new type of bioplastic could help reduce the plastic industry’s environmental footprint. Researchers have developed a biodegradable form of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filled with bacterial spores that, when exposed to nutrients present in compost, germinate and break down the material ...
