The process could help restore dystrophin, the protein missing in the muscles of boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

UCLA research shows that the changes have had a dramatic effect on Colpichthys hubbsi, a species that lives only in the region near the Sea of Cortez.

Each is among 14 scientists nationally to be named by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute as HHMI professors. UCLA is tied for second in the number of 2017 recipients.

UCLA researchers discovered that, when heart muscle cells were mixed with high levels of glucose, they matured late or failed to mature altogether, and instead generated more immature cells.

The new technique sheds light on the materials the artist used, and the order in which they were applied to the painting. It also helped scientists uncover insights about the painting’s connections to other work from the same era.

As electronic devices have become smaller, using silicon components to power them has become more challenging; a team of faculty and students has developed a promising solution.

Scientists using a state-of-the-art UCLA instrument have witnessed a planetary-scale “tug-of-war” of life, deep Earth and the upper atmosphere that is expressed in atmospheric nitrogen.

The new technique produces better images than current methods, and it’s easier to implement because it requires fewer measurements and performs computations faster.

Researchers designed a new device that uses solar power to inexpensively and efficiently create and store energy and create hydrogen fuel.

A UCLA digital artist and neuroscientist collaborated to create a performance art installation in which participants explore unspoken, visual communication.

The award from the John Templeton Foundation will help researchers address how much power individuals have over their own health.

The researchers' healthy solution is to move the transit sites 120 feet away from intersections, where high concentrations of noxious exhaust are emitted.

Astronaut and alumna Anna Lee Fisher will receive UCLA’s first Science and Education Pioneer award at Young Hall at 2 p.m.

UCLA researchers are using genetics to find out whether the elusive Southern California snake is an endangered species.

Elaine Hsiao, assistant professor of integrative biology and physiology, and Hosea Nelson, UCLA assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, are among 18 winners.

Titan’s liquid methane rain appears to play a major role in shaping its icy surface, and the downpours are much more common than researchers expected.

The astronomers identified a “special comet” called K2 traveling from beyond Saturn’s orbit — the farthest active inbound comet ever seen.

UCLA biophysicists developed the technique and the measuring device.

Garg, one of three national finalists for a prestigious national teaching award, will share how he made organic chemistry one of UCLA’s most popular classes.

The restoration and improvements made possible by the donation will enhance research and teaching on plant, conservation and environmental biology.

The energy-efficient system uses a thin polymer film that transfers heat from the heat source to a “heat sink.”

The new type of catalysis became apparent as the researchers were studying a substance with insecticidal properties that is naturally produced by fungi.

The UCLA study could eventually have applications in medicine, food science and other fields.

The system is made of inexpensive components, including an image sensor chip that costs just a few dollars apiece and is like the ones used in mobile phone cameras.

The scientists believe the technique, which focuses on cells’ mitochondria, could eventually lead to a way to delay the onset of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.
