The UC San Diego campus is home to the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network of any academic institution in the western world with a growing number of EV chargers expected to exceed 1,200 within the next year.
Researchers from UC San Diego found that children diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are at significantly increased risk of premature death and serious long-term health complications. The study, which followed 1,096 children over an average of 8.5 years. Nearly half of all deaths in the cohort were liver-related, and the overall mortality rate was 40 times higher than that of similar peers in the general U.S. population.
Cigarette smoking continues to decline across the United States, largely driven by young adults
A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer鈥檚 disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function that triggers a pathway that disrupts how cells in the brain turn genes on and off.
Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to encourage tissue repair and promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack.
If funded by the State of California, a collaborative public health degree with Southwestern College would make higher education more accessible in the South Bay
A gift from DMT Quest to UC San Diego will support research on the effects of the psychedelic DMT on the human brain, with potential to help treat depression, addiction and neurological conditions such as stroke.
A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego offers a first-of-its-kind look at how deeper coordination among Western U.S. states could lower the cost of decarbonizing the electric grid鈥攁nd speed up the clean energy transition.
In a landmark clinical trial, coordinated by the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study at UC San Diego, people at risk for Alzheimer's who exercised at low or moderate-high intensity showed less cognitive decline when compared to those receiving usual care.
An international team led by the University of California San Diego has identified a potential microbial culprit behind the alarming rise in early-onset colorectal cancer: a bacterial toxin called colibactin.
Shermin de Silva researches the ecology, social dynamics and communication of elephants. In recognition of Earth Day 2025, de Silva provides an inside look at a new book she has published on elephant behavior and conservation, along with questions to consider to protect their future.
Emissions don鈥檛 just come from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. Food waste sent to landfills contributes up to 10% of all emissions, equivalent to more emissions than that of the entire aviation sector, and if considered a country, it would be the third-largest emitter. Food waste decomposes in landfills and produces methane, a greenhouse gas approximately 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide in its warming potential.
New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 鈥� a key enzyme in lipid metabolism 鈥� accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers.
How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is processed in our brain鈥檚 circuitry, offering insights for neurological disorders and brain-like AI systems.
A new study from UC San Diego suggests that climate trauma 鈥� such as experiencing a devastating wildfire 鈥� can have lasting effects on cognitive function.
Those who suffer myasthenia gravis experience muscle weakness that can affect the muscles we use to blink, smile and move our bodies. Researchers at UC San Diego鈥檚 School of Biological Sciences used a cutting-edge imaging technique to uncover new details about the mechanisms underlying the disease.
It鈥檚 a game a lot of us played as children鈥攁nd maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineers at the University of California San Diego, this game was an inspiration, suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be a particularly good fit for agriculture applications, as their extremities are soft enough to grab fragile fruits and vegetables, researchers wrote. The devices are also low-cost and safe around humans.
By mapping the subcellular architecture of tumor cells, researchers can better understand how mutations cause cancer.
