I Told You But You Don’t Listen: Male-Female Communication Gap Affects Plants
The conundrum of communication between the sexes doesn’t just perplex humans. Male plants turn a deaf ear to their female counterparts, even when their survival is threatened. This new finding comes from research led by Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Professor...
The New Frontier in Drug Discovery
At the 2019 Winter Dunlop School Dean’s Distinguished Lecture, Professor Hughes presented data on his quest to create “Body-on-a-Chip” technology, with the hope of ushering in a new age of drug discovery.
Humans and Plants Are Alike: Males Don’t Listen to Females, Scientists Say
Studies conducted by UC Irvine show that male plants don’t listen to female plants, even when their survival depends on it.
UCI-Led Study Reveals How Blood Cells Help Wounds Heal Scar-Free
New insights on circumventing a key obstacle on the road to anti-scarring treatment have been published by Maksim Plikus, an associate professor in developmental and cell biology at the UC Irvine Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences and colleagues in Nature Communications.
California Institute Awards Dunlop School Professor
