We’ve all been told that many short study sessions beat one long, all-night “cramming” marathon. That basic idea – called the signal spacing effect – shows up again and again in memory research.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A UC San Diego alum is among the recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his innovative research on the immune system. According to the university's press ...

When a buzz from Mary Brunkow’s phone awoke her at 1 a.m. showing an international number, it seemed like “spam, obviously,” she said. A couple minutes later, her phone rang again and this time she ...

Seattle scientists Mary Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell won the Nobel Prize for research on the immune cells that prevent our body from attacking itself.

One Reelin injection helped stressed rats’ guts resume normal cell turnover and, in earlier tests, reduced despair-like behavior. What the study did and did not show.

One of his early teachers called his scientific ambitions “ridiculous.” Undeterred, Dr. Gurdon went on to transform the understanding of DNA.

Fred Ramsdell, 64, shared the award with two researchers for their discovery of how the human immune system knows not to attack the body's healthy cells.

Recovering from an illness, surgery, or physical injury can be challenging, especially if you’re forced to take time away from work while you heal. Most people are willing to do whatever the doctor ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been like an unbreakable fortress. Scientists have tried everything to chip away at the sticky clumps of beta-amyloid proteins that build up in the brain — a toxic ...

When it comes to our health, everyone loves a quick fix. Perhaps a vitamin C tablet or glass of orange juice to “boost” your immune system. Or maybe a spoonful of Manuka honey is your preferred salve ...

For the study, which was published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia, researchers isolated something called extracellular vesicles from fat cells. These vesicles are cell-to-cell messengers in the ...
