Physicians and scientists at UC San Diego Health have launched a pair of serological tests that will look for novel coronavirus antibodies—evidence in persons tested that they have previously been infected by the viral cause of COVID-19, even if they never experienced tell-tale symptoms.
Serological tests look for antibodies produced in response to infection, and will help determine who may have potentially acquired immunity to COVID-19—and who remains at risk
When adult brain cells are injured, they revert to an embryonic state, say researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine. In their newly adopted immature state, the cells become capable of re-growing new connections that, under the right conditions, can help to restore lost function.
In corticospinal injuries using a mouse model, adult neurons begin a natural regeneration process by reverting back to an embryonic state and that regeneration is sustained by a surprising gene
Researchers suggest that in the aftermath of the novel coronavirus pandemic, a host of neuropsychiatric challenges may remain — or emerge — for those recovering from COVID-19 infections.
Manoj Monga, MD, recognized as an international authority in endourology and stone disease, has been named chair of the Department of Urology at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and will see patients at UC San Diego Health.
Past pandemics suggest some of those exposed to novel coronavirus could face heightened risk for a range of brain diseases and disorders, from depression and psychosis to immune complications of the central nervous system
Researchers at UC San Diego Health publish the first empirical findings that strongly associate sensory loss and COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
