A new USC Stem Cell study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has identified key gene regulators that enable some deafened animals—including fish and lizards—to naturally regenerate …
USC-led study of patients with epilepsy shows how making new neurons benefits cognition in adults. Why do adults make new brain cells? A new study published in Cell Stem Cell provides the …
USC brain researchers are finding novel ways to image, detect and treat diseases. This spring, scientists from the Keck School of Medicine of USC opened a new window into understanding the brain …
There’s no way to stop the march of time, but innovative research by USC scholars points the way to a longer, healthier and more vibrant life. About 10 years ago, when George …
USC researchers are revolutionizing how we treat disease by harnessing stem cells as “living medicine.” Anyone who’s healed from a cut or a scrape has witnessed the incredible regenerative power of stem …
Through the alignment of the medical system and health science schools in President Carol Folt’s Health Sciences 3.0 ‘moonshot,’ USC will meet the challenges and opportunities of an ever-evolving health landscape. In …
USC Viterbi biomedical engineers harness focused ultrasound to revolutionize CRISPR’s capabilities to treat countless diseases. Thanks to CRISPR, our medical specialists will soon have unprecedented control over how they treat and prevent …
How a serendipitous discovery led by Pinchas Cohen more than 20 years ago opened a new chapter in biology and made the USC Leonard Davis School a leading force in unraveling the …
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) has funded Keck School of Medicine of USC translational research advancing a therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of blindness …
Genes aren’t the sole driver instructing cells to build multicellular structures, tissues, and organs. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, USC Stem Cell scientist Leonardo Morsut and Caltech computational biologist …
