Out now in @NatComms.nature.com: @UCSDMedSchool.bsky.social research identifies key genetic driver of #cocaine #addiction. Results could enable new drugs to target cocaine #metabolism

New research suggests that a single administration of spinal segment-targeted gene therapy may provide a long-lasting strategy for reducing muscle spasticity caused by #SpinalCordInjury and potentially other neurological conditions associated with abnormal muscle tone. #genetics buff.ly/IJhpemx

Out now in @PNAS.org: Electrical pulses reverse aging in #seasquirts, says new study from @UCSanDiego.bsky.social and @StanfordUniversity.bsky.social. Results suggests bioelectric therapy could help protect marine species and slow human #aging.

A study by @UCSanDiego.bsky.social researchers and their colleagues has found that #semaglutide slows down the accumulation of biological aging markers in the DNA of adults with #HIV, pointing to the potential of #GLP‑1 receptor agonists to help prevent age‑related diseases. buff.ly/AhicbVB

U.S. overdose death rates declined dramatically between 2023 and 2024, marking the first recorded drop in all four waves of the nation’s #overdose crisis. @UCSDMedSchool.bsky.social #Fentanyl #Stimulants #SubstanceAbuse #FourthWaveOverdoseCrisis

@UCSanDiego.bsky.social researchers discovered that blocking microRNA-25 reshapes the tumor immune environment and improves responses to #cancer immunotherapy. #microRNA25 #melanoma #TumorMicroenvironment

New @UCSDMedSchool.bsky.social research shows that a natural peptide can slow #melanoma growth, curb metastasis, and restore drug sensitivity in resistant tumors, taking a promising step toward safer and more effective #cancer therapies! #MelanomaResearch #CancerTherapy

Researchers from @UCSDMedSchool.bsky.social and @deptvetaffairs.bsky.social found that an experimental gene therapy helped protect memory and brain cells from damage linked to TDP-43, a harmful protein involved in frontotemporal dementia and many #Alzheimers cases #Neuroscience #FTD

Out now in @aacrjournals.bsky.social: New #AI tool discovered at @UCSanDiego.bsky.social helps predict how cancers may respond to #immunotherapy and #chemotherapy. Findings could make tumor #DNA testing more useful for precision oncology. #CancerResearch

@UCSDMedSchool.bsky.social researchers report substantial reductions in symptoms of #depression by using #MachineLearning to tailor behavioral interventions based on data participants collect about their own moods and daily habits. #wearabletechnology #behavioralhealth
