Complex lifeforms have developed immune systems to protectthemselves from infection. An immune response has to start quickly to controlan attack. However, a fast response means that sometimes mistakes are made,triggering an immune response when there is no real...
UCI-led study reveals crucial mechanisms contributing to the disease.
UCI-led study points toward new ways to prevent disease transmission.
New study provides groundbreaking insights into the evolution of lizards.
An award-winning scientist and professor of evolutionary biology, Adriana Briscoe studies the evolution of vision in butterflies and how they see color.
Developmental and Cell Biology Assistant Professor Scott Atwood was recently awarded a 2019 Hellman Fellowship Award for his research investigating the immune system’s suppression of tumor growth.
Tiny plastic particles may also be a vehicle for microbes that sicken or even kill corals, a new study finds.
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.
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Professor Jennifer Martiny’s research aims to determine the mechanisms that govern microbial diversity across environmental and human systems. Microbes such as bacteria and fungi are important for many seen and unseen processes, and...
A novel technique based on isotope analysis shows that, compared to ecosystem type, evolutionary history explains more variation in bacterial growth traits along an elevation gradient. This knowledge could help move microbial ecologists toward improved predictive models of soil processes.
