Researchers have found links between lung microbial communities and mortality risk in pediatric bone marrow transplant patients. Metagenomic sequencing revealed distinct patient clusters and unexpected pathogens, highlighting the need for precise diagnostics and therapeutics. Antibiotic treatment was associated with bacterial depletion and enriched viral and fungal populations.
Energy expended for hospital and clinic electricity, climate control and ventilation is by far the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in radiotherapy, a treatment used in more than half of cancer cases.
Anti-Asian hate may be fueling isolation and poorer health among elderly San Francisco residents.
UCSF researchers discovered the first known neurons in the retina that connect to blood vessels. Understanding these neurons can help treat and prevent vascular-related vision loss.
While many have shifted to smoking instead of injecting fentanyl, researchers found that there is an increased risk of overdose death from the drug residue accumulated in smoking equipment.
UCSF will lead the first long-term study of cancer among Asian Americans, a highly diverse yet understudied group, with the help of a $12.45 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Innovations in perinatal care, gender affirming-care and improving pregnancy outcomes for women with fibroids are among the topics UCSF clinicians will discuss at the American College of Obstetricians
The disabling effects of multiple sclerosis may be caused in part by damaged connections between neurons, and this can be seen in the eye, UC San Francisco researchers have found. They showed that
Eating more fruits, vegetables, nuts and olive oil could significantly reduce the chances of prostate cancer progression.
Research found that using a mail-order pharmacy to deliver abortion medication after an in-person assessment was both safe and effective, offering privacy, convenience, and accessibility.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive in-office procedure. Brief magnetic pulses to the brain induces electrical currents that stimulate nerve cells in specific areas of the brain, providing symptom relief for patients with depression and OCD.
UC San Francisco interventional cardiologists and interventional echocardiographers recently performed the health system’s first commercial transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement procedure using
With further validation and clinical trials, the use of artificial intelligence in emergency departments could one day help prioritize patients based on the urgency of their treatment, and help with triage in emergency care.
Faculty members Chase Anderson, MD, and Brittany Bryant, LCSW, help us understand what microaggressions are, what they look like, and what they mean for your mental health – and practical skills to deal with them, whether they’re directed at you or not.

As the human body ages, cellular changes can drive a host of age-related diseases and conditions. The appearance of aging cells, also called senescent cells, in age-related diseases has spurred the
Leading cancer researchers from UC San Francisco presented talks about advances in targeted therapy, cancer genomics, eliminating treatment disparities and other cancer research topics at this year’s
UCSF scientists have found a set of autoantibodies that emerge in some MS patients years before symptoms.
New CAR-T gene therapy techniques could extend survival for patients with glioblastoma.
