Unique immune cell fingerprint can help rapidly identify better treatment for autoimmune disease

Most autoimmune diseases are easy to diagnose but hard to treat. A paper published today in Science proposes using your unique immune cell fingerprint to rapidly identify which treatments will work for your autoimmune disease.

Researchers develop universal AI algorithm to "clean" noisy single-cell RNA sequencing data

Just as asking a single person about their health will provide tailored, personalized information impossible to glean from a large poll, an individual cell's genome or transcriptome can provide much more information about their place in living systems than sequencing a whole batch of cells.

Long-term follow-up from health services could be beneficial for reduction of diabetes risk

Type 2 diabetes is an inherited disease, but habits can affect the risk of getting it. Obesity due to fatty and high-calorie foods, often in combination with limited activity, increases the risk considerably.

Los Angeles’s injury rate for riders of e-scooters higher than the national rates for motorcycles

For a recent six-year period, the injury rate for riders of electric scooters in one section of Los Angeles was higher than the national rates for riders of motorcycles, bicycles and cars, and pedestrians, new UCLA research has found.
