Nearly 50 UCSF researchers have been named to Clarivate’s list of most influential scientists for 2024.
Physicians would have real-time diagnostic information they can use while a patient is still sedated. An AI-based diagnostic system reveals cancerous tissue that may not otherwise be visible during brain tumor surgery. This enables neurosurgeons to remove it while the patient is still under anesthesia – or treat it afterwards with targeted therapies.
Invented at UCSF, this smarter gene therapy is revolutionizing the field of precision cancer care and may, one day, cure the deadliest form of brain cancer. In June, UCSF treated its first patient with E-SYNC, its first homegrown CAR-T therapy, one of the first to show promise in treating certain types of brain cancers. This story builds on previous coverage to provide an overview of CAR-T therapy, accessibility and future horizons of applications in cancer and other illnesses like HIV.
UCSF-led study finds that insomnia, but not lack of sleep, may hasten brain shrinkage. Poor sleep in midlife, like difficulty falling asleep or waking early, may accelerate brain atrophy linked to dementia, a UCSF study finds.
