A recent study published in the Journal of Virology by a team from the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry that includes Assistant Professor Roberto Tinoco, graduate student Julia DeRogatis and co-authors from the Tinoco lab, and Assistant Professor Dequina Nicholas has revealed a new discovery about how T cells respond to viral infections
Mammalian flight is an incredible ability that has evolved in many different species, including bats, flying squirrels and several types of possums.
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.
Scientists at the UCI MODEL-AD group have developed a new mouse model that could help us understand Alzheimer’s disease better.
Phages, or bacteria-infecting viruses, are Earth’s most abundant biological entities, according to a team of three post-docs — Mirjam Zuend, Sage Dunham and Jason Rothman — in Katrine Whiteson’s lab from the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
Why do many treatments that work in animal models fail in people? In his new book, Neurobiology and Behavior professor Georg Striedter says researchers sometimes unwittingly set the stage for defeat by overlooking species differences when designing their studies.
Cell-to-cell communication is a large part of Professor Dae Seok Eom’s research. In particular, the Eom lab focuses on a novel signaling projection called airinemes, which have meandering trajectories as they travel from the signal sending cell to the target cell.
Professor Diane Campbell in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, whose research focuses on understanding how evolution takes place in real time in nature, recently published a paper with her colleagues Mary Price, Nickolas Waser, Rebecca Irwin and Alison Brody at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory.
Professor Roberto Tinoco in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, who explores how the immune system can fight disease, recently published a paper with his lab that outlines a novel approach to activating dysfunctional T cells to fight skin cancer or melanoma.
UCI-led finding helps propel search for improved treatments
The legacy of Professor Krishna K. Tewari, former chair of the department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, lives on through those he cared for, supported, mentored and worked alongside.
