An examination of how the adoption of EHRs affected the quality of hospital care between 2008 and 2013 found that mortality rates fell as hospitals learned how to work with the technology.
Study of prostate cancer in 202 men, whose cancers had spread and were resistant to standard treatment, found that about 17 percent of these cancers belong to a deadlier subtype of metastatic prostate cancer.
UCSF researchers have identified the sequence of genetic changes that transform benign moles to into malignant skin cancer.

Margot Kushel has been announced as the new director of the UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and Trauma Center.
The already famous CRISPR system allows scientists to edit faulty genes by cutting and replacing sections of DNA, but new and improved CRISPR techniques developed at UCSF have expanded CRISPR’s scalpel into a Swiss Army knife.
Experiments using parasitic worms in the mouse gut have revealed a surprising new form of wound repair, a finding that could help scientists develop ways to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.
