Researchers have uncovered a molecular pathway that appears to block kidney regeneration after injury. The body’s ability to repair damaged organs is surprisingly limited, especially after serious injuries to the heart or kidneys. Now, UCLA researchers have found that a drug originally developed to help heart tissue regenerate after a heart attack may also accelerate [...]

A new study has uncovered an unexpected vulnerability in some of the deadliest cancers. Researchers at UCLA have identified a previously hidden weakness in some of the most aggressive cancers, pointing to a possible new way to attack tumors that have remained difficult to treat. Small cell neuroendocrine cancers can develop in the lungs, prostate, [...]
