Increased obesity worldwide has become a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. A new study by UC San Francisco and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard researchers found the quantity of fat
UCSF scientists have been awarded more than $30 million to develop “tissue GPS,” a new system using engineered T cells to guide therapies directly to their targets in the brain to treat neurological diseases like cancer, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s.
A smartphone app could enable greater participation in clinical trials for people with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a devastating neurological disorder that often manifests in mid-life.
Intentional flu vaccine messaging, such as a brief video, flyer, or a scripted provider question, is enough to persuade many who visit emergency departments to receive the vaccination.
