In many classrooms, instructors use touchscreen tablets to operate overhead projectors. They are straightforward tools, but only if the user can see which buttons to press. This summer, University of California, Davis, history lecturer Seth Clark discovered his sight impairment made the tablets challenging to use.
The IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society has recognized Professional Researcher Gerard Ariño-Estrada for his significant contributions to radiation instrumentation and measurement techniques for ionizing radiation.
In cell therapies, regenerating tissues often must be damaged to know if the treatment is working. Jinhwan Kim wants to remedy that with non-invasive, real-time monitoring of cellular function and health.
A team of UC Davis scientists used dynamic total-body positron emission tomography (PET) to provide the first imaging of the human body's immune response to COVID-19 infection in recovering patients. Their work, published in Science Advances, could lead to a better understanding of how the body's immune system responds to viral infections and develops long-term protection against re-infection.
Biomedical engineers at UC Davis have come up with a new tool for tracing interactions between proteins. The new, light-activated tool could have wide applications in cell biology.
A groundbreaking material — engineered bone marrow (eBM) — has the potential to improve treatment for osteosarcoma, a malignant bone cancer with low survival rates.
Aidan Gilchrist, a new assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, believes there is an equal need to increase the quality of life as there is to extend it through medical advancements. He researches how the tissues surrounding our cells may be the key to reversing and preventing aging.
The inside of a living cell is crowded with large, complex molecules. New research on how these molecules could spontaneously organize themselves could further our understanding of how cells manage their essential biochemistry in the crowded space.
