Despite perceived organismal complexity, mammals possess relatively poor regenerative potential compared to certain lesser species of Animalia (e.g., amphibians). Indeed, there are many human disease states where an insufficient regenerative response limits organ repair and is determining of disease etiology (e.g., heart failure, T1D, IPF). To overcome these limitations, we ...
The concept of a Digital Twin originated in industry as a “digital copy of a physical asset.” We aim to build a virtual laboratory infrastructure to address challenges in data acquisition, control, analysis, and model-driven interpretation, with a focus on X-ray Photon Science and its potential applications in chemical conversions. ...
Behind every public health statistic is a massive, patient level dataset waiting to reveal patterns that would otherwise stay hidden. Drs. Iona Cheng, Scarlett Lin Gomez, and Salma Shariff-Marco, professors of epidemiology at UCSF who oversee the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry, will show how they mine these enormous cancer ...
When minds “connect,” the underlying brains synchronize their activity. The stimuli that most potently evoke this neural synchrony includes, perhaps surprisingly, the sharing of stories. Neuroscience now recognizes that narrativeconstitutes not only the basis of conscious experience, but also the principal mechanism that shapes human selves and societies - for ...
