UCLA researchers discovered a targeted therapy drug that dramatically reduces the risk of lung cancer returning in patients with a rare genetic subtype. After two years, 92% of patients receiving the treatment remained cancer-free, compared to just 61% who received a placebo.
UCLA researchers have discovered how to reverse chronic fatty liver disease without diet changes, offering hope to up to 3.8 million Los Angeles residents. The breakthrough targets "zombie cells" that cause liver damage.
Researchers at UCLA have developed a once-daily pill that targets a protein crucial to pancreatic cancer growth, offering new hope for one of the deadliest cancers. The breakthrough treatment represents a major step forward in fighting a disease that has long resisted effective therapies.
Scientists at UCLA have achieved breakthrough results in treating advanced colorectal cancer, with a new combination therapy doubling two-year survival rates. The research team is also making major strides in prevention, from mailing free screening kits to developing powerful cancer vaccines.
UCLA researchers have treated their first patient with a groundbreaking therapy that can simultaneously locate and destroy aggressive bone cancer cells. The treatment offers new hope for young patients with osteosarcoma who haven't responded to standard treatments.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Scientists at UCLA discovered that clearing out damaged immune cells reversed fatty liver disease in mice, even when they kept eating unhealthy food. The breakthrough could transform treatment for a condition affecting up to 40% of Los Angeles residents.
Scientists at UCLA have created a system that uses 3D printing and artificial intelligence to test hundreds of cancer drugs on lab-grown copies of a patient's tumor. The breakthrough could help doctors choose the right treatment before starting therapy.
Two groundbreaking UCLA trials are testing antibody-drug conjugates that deliver chemotherapy directly to ovarian cancer cells, potentially improving outcomes while reducing harsh side effects. The treatments could offer more personalized, effective options for women newly diagnosed with the disease.
Scientists at UCLA discovered that creatine, the popular workout supplement, energizes immune cells that detect and attack cancer. The early findings could eventually make cancer immunotherapy work for more patients.
Scientists at UCLA built miniature 3D brain models that reveal why the deadliest brain cancer resists treatment, opening doors to personalized therapies. These lab-grown organoids mimic real human brains, showing for the first time how tumors communicate with healthy cells to become more aggressive.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
A groundbreaking UCLA study of nearly 94,000 diverse patients discovered how genetics predict who responds best to popular weight loss medications like Ozempic. This breakthrough could transform how doctors prescribe treatments, ensuring medications work better for everyone.
Scientists at UCLA just solved a stubborn problem that's been holding back an entire class of promising materials. Their breakthrough could make future electronics faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient.
