UCLA-led research team develops world's most powerful nanoscale microwave oscillators
Public release date: 25-Jun-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Matthew Chin mchin@support.ucla.edu 310-206-0680 University of California – Los Angeles A team of UCLA researchers has created the most powerful high-performance nanoscale microwave oscillators in the world, a development that could lead to cheaper, more energy-efficient mobile communication devices that deliver much better signal quality. Today’s cell phones, WiFienabled tablets and other electronic gadgets all use microwave oscillators, tiny devices that generate the electrical signals used in communications. Continue reading
Building molecular 'cages' to fight disease
ScienceDaily (May 31, 2012) UCLA biochemists have designed specialized proteins that assemble themselves to form tiny molecular cages hundreds of times smaller than a single cell. The creation of these miniature structures may be the first step toward developing new methods of drug delivery or even designing artificial vaccines Continue reading
Same gene that stunts infants' growth also makes them grow too big
Public release date: 27-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Elaine Schmidt eschmidt@mednet.ucla.edu 310-794-2272 University of California – Los Angeles Health Sciences The Caterpillar got down off the mushroom and crawled away in the grass, remarking as it went, ‘One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.’ -Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll UCLA geneticists have identified the mutation responsible for IMAGe syndrome, a rare disorder that stunts infants’ growth. The twist? The mutation occurs on the same gene that causes Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which makes cells grow too fast, leading to very large children Continue reading

Nnew genetic method developed to pinpoint individuals' geographic origin
ScienceDaily (May 24, 2012) Understanding the genetic diversity within and between populations has important implications for studies of human disease and evolution. This includes identifying associations between genetic variants and disease, detecting genomic regions that have undergone positive selection and highlighting interesting aspects of human population history. Now, a team of researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, UCLA’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Israel’s Tel Aviv University has developed an innovative approach to the study of genetic diversity called spatial ancestry analysis (SPA), which allows for the modeling of genetic variation in two- or three-dimensional space Continue reading
