A technique involving the use of light pulses to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons could one day become a new, non-invasive treatment for epilepsy.
UCSF researchers develop customizable SNIPR sensors that activate engineered cells only near tumors, promising precise cancer therapies with minimal side effects.
An AI-based diagnostic system reveals cancerous tissue that may not otherwise be visible during brain tumor surgery. This enables neurosurgeons to remove it while the patient is still under anesthesia – or treat it afterwards with targeted therapies.
New drugs and therapies have become indispensable for treating an array of cancers. Unfortunately, they can also cause damage to the heart, a side effect that has led to the development of a new

Poor sleep in midlife, like difficulty falling asleep or waking early, may accelerate brain atrophy linked to dementia, a UCSF study finds.
Oral health has long been siloed from the rest of a person's health. But increasingly, researchers and clinicians, including those at UCSF, are finding ties between a person's oral health and their overall health.
Several cases of the bird flu in humans have been reported in California's Central Valley in 2024. This Q&A explores how the virus spreads, how to prevent infection and whether this is something to be we need to actively protect against.
