UCLA researchers develop mechanism for characterizing function of rare tumor cells
Dr. Steven Dubinett, Dino Di Carlo, Dr. Matthew Rettig and other UCLA scientists created a new mechanism to measure how circulating tumor cells behave. Scientists have long known that circulating tumor cells, rare cancer cells that are released into the...
UCLA bioengineers show magnetic gel’s use to ease pain
Early work demonstrates promise of so-called ‘mechanoceuticals’ August 07, 2018 n an artist’s conception, a magnet pulls small magnetic particles inside a gel to control a neural cell’s flow of certain ions. UCLA bioengineers have demonstrated that a gel-like material...
UCLA engineers develop artificial intelligence device that identifies objects at the speed of light
Created with a 3D printer, the artificial neural network could have applications in medicine, robotics and security The network, composed of a series of polymer layers, works using light that travels through it. Each layer is 8 centimeters square. A team of UCLA...
AI Object Recognition System Operates at Speed of Light
Researchers have created a 3D-printed artificial neural network that uses light photons to rapidly process information. Jul 26, 2018 ANNA AZVOLINSKY ABOVE: All-optical deep learning uses 3-D–printed, passive optical components to implement complex functions at the...
Antibody identifier could speed development of therapies for cancer, other diseases
Jul 9, 2018 By Matthew Chin UCLA-led team created a model to predict effectiveness of potential treatments to help the immune system A research team led by a UCLA bioengineer has developed a model to predict the extent to which new laboratory-designed...
UCLA researchers develop synthetic T cells that mimic form, function of human version
Discovery could be a step toward developing treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases Brianna Aldrich | June 26, 2018 UCLA scientists developed artificial T cells that, like natural T cells, can deform to squeeze between tiny gaps in the body, as shown in this...
