Mammalian flight is an incredible ability that has evolved in many different species, including bats, flying squirrels and several types of possums. Interestingly, each of these flying species has evolved a lateral flight membrane, known as a patagium, between...
As the Earth's climate continues to change, natural resource managers are faced with the challenge of forecasting how populations will respond to these changes. There are a variety of different forecasting approaches, ranging from complex process-based models that...
Scientists at the UCI MODEL-AD group have developed a new mouse model that could help us understand Alzheimer's disease better. The mouse model is called Trem2R47H NSS, and it has a genetic variant called TREM2 R47H that is one of the strongest known risk factors for...
Dunlop School Chancellor’s Professor Thomas Lane discusses COVID-19 long haulers, his current research using mice to look at COVID-19’s impact on the brain, and how people can prevent the disease’s neurological repercussions.
UCI scientists, including Dunlop School Professors Qing Nie and Maksim Plikus, have developed a computational platform called CellChat to help decipher cell communication.
Chancellor’s Professor Thomas Lane was our featured speaker during the fall 2020 Dean’s Distinguished Lecture. Learn about COVID-19, its impact on the central nervous system and the potential long-term side effects that accompany the virus.
“Masking can prevent up to 70% of transmission, that’s basically as good as one dose of the vaccine,” says Professor Ilhem Messaoudi.
Qing Nie, Chancellor’s Professor of developmental and cell biology & mathematics, and Xiaohui Xie, professor of computer science, have led a team of UCI scientists to develop a new deep-learning framework that predicts gene regulation at the single-cell...
Six years ago, 60 Minutes reported on the 90+ Study with lead investigator Claudia Kawas, MD, Professor of Neurology and Neurobiology & Behavior. Last night, they followed up with the surviving members of the study.
