When biologist Maksim Plikus took the leap into the multibillion-dollar market for hair-loss treatments, he had lots of local support.
Alzheimer’s disease may look similar from one person to another even when different biological processes are driving the damage, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
Immunotherapy has transformed outcomes for many cancer patients. Unlike conventional treatments, these therapies do not attack tumors directly. Instead, they enable the body’s own immune system to identify and kill cancer cells that had previously escaped elimination.
UC Irvine researchers Vivek Swarup, Ph.D., and Elizabeth Head, Ph.D., have received a major new award from the National Institutes of Health to investigate
