Research brief: The team developed an approach to visualizing structure called microcrystal electron diffraction, which allowed the researchers to confirm how the newly discovered molecular assembly pathway works.

A Finnish study that included researchers from UCLA harnessed the DNA from nearly 20,000 people to identify genetic mutations that may increase the risk of diabetes, high cholesterol and other diseases and conditions.

Research brief: The study recommends that the new procedure should become the standard of care.

When fathers are involved in the care of their children, men and women are more upset about infidelities, according to the UCLA-led cross-cultural research.

Programs on mindfulness — the practice of using meditation to tap into emotions, thoughts and sensations — also may be beneficial for stress relief.

The researchers' study builds on their discovery last year of a gene called mEAK-7, which is important for cell proliferation and migration.

The UCLA-led study noted that proper long-term follow-up of children whose mothers had Zika infection in pregnancy is necessary.

The discoveries by an interdisciplinary team of UCLA scientists could improve the diagnoses of these aggressive cancers.

Research Brief: An increase in the state's HPV vaccination rate would reduce the number of preventable cancers and the financial burden that treatment for these cases would create, the study found.

The team also found that the dominant animal’s behavior tends to drive synchronization more than behavior of the subordinate.

It is listed in all pediatric specialties assessed by U.S. News & World Report.

Combining biopsy strategies allowed doctors to find up to 33% more cancers.

Research Brief: The study found that government programs paid, on average, $248 per dialysis session, compared with $1,041 per session for patients with private insurance.

UCLA scientists use a data analysis method called “artificial intelligence-parabolic response surface.”

The findings will both help identify women who are at highest risk of developing ovarian cancer and pave the way for identifying new therapies that can target these specific genes.

The brain cells, called astrocytes, previously thought to provide mainly nourishment and housekeeping functions for neurons, may help regulate the disorders, a UCLA study suggests.

The study could have implications for addressing value in the field of radiation medicine, a traditionally male-dominated specialty, according to UCLA's Dr. Luca Valle.

UCLA researchers’ development of a more effective and reliable therapy for periodontal disease may suit a wide range of medical and dental applications.

The study showed that household medical costs were 30 percent higher, and the likelihood of medical debt was doubled, when an adult had lived through three or more adverse experiences during childhood.

“If young infants are able to pick up social information from such brief clips of vocal behavior, it suggests a biologically evolved sensitivity,” said UCLA professor Gregory Bryant.
