UC San Diego Bioengineers Uncover Lipid Metabolic Dynamics in Drosophila Brain During Aging

UC San Diego bioengineers uncover lipid metabolic dynamics in the brains of fuit flies during aging. This research relies on a cutting-edge imaging technique called SRS imaging. The technique allows researchers to peer inside living cells without disturbing cell function. This research demonstrates a new approach for studying brain lipid metabolic activity in live cells. The research also illuminates the interconnection of aging, dietary, and genetic manipulations on brain lipid metabolic regulation. Full Story

Single-Cell Atlas of the Human Kidney Provides New Resources to Study Kidney Disease

What causes certain individuals who experience a sudden decline in kidney function to develop kidney disease while others recover? A new study co-led by UC San Diego bioengineers could provide detailed insight—at the level of individual cells—into the underlying factors contributing to these divergent outcomes. Full Story
