The hope is to be able to treat or cure autoimmune diseases, provide more effective cancer treatments and prevent serious complications after stem cell transplants.

Jane Goodall Dies at 91 While on Speaking Tour: She Was a 'Tireless Advocate' for Nature Jane Goodall, the renowned conservationist and animal welfare advocate who became the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees after spending decades studying them in the wild in Tanzania's Gombe Stream...

It was Goodall's trailblazing research on the personalities and social interactions of the chimpanzees she so closely studied that changed the way we view our connection to the animal kingdom.

@teuler.bsky.social talks about What is a cell type?

We had an amazing @GGIPstudents symposium with keynote @quinascience.bsky.social and @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social associate dean of research and graduate education Danika Bannasch.

Gave a talk @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social and one of my former @ucibiosci.bsky.social students was there! I love seeing my students continue in their education. Highlight of my day.

Aaron is an expert on immigration policy and issues
Take this seriously

Thanks Raji!

Super excited to contribute to this wonderful work from the Yiu lab @ucd_eyecenter and @CNPRCresearch looking at how systemic lipids and glucose affect drusen progression in a 🐒 model. doi.org/10.1167/iovs...

@ucdavis.bsky.social had a great representation at the BAVRD!

Super proud of Drs. Handel, Lim, and Ripolles-Garcia and Ms. Khan for representing COVSL at the Bay Area Vision Research Day! #visionscience

Super proud of the great research these two STARs - Jillyan and Jennifer - did @ucdavis.bsky.social. This amazing program giving DVMs a summer research experience was partially funded by NIH but sadly no longer. #science #visionscience @altnih4science.bsky.social

My @i2sysbio.es colleagues, led by Javier Buceta @javierbuceta.bsky.social, published a paper in Nature Communications! They used a multidisciplinary approach to show that E. coli filaments undergo a growth-induced buckling instability. Congratulations! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
