UC Berkeley researchers discover ancestor of gene-editing tool CRISPR (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gene-editing tool CRISPR has helped create a new treatment for sickle cell disease, and other applications are being tested in numerous ongoing clinical trials. Yet scholars still did not know about its ancestral origins. Earlier this month, multiple UC Berkeley researchers from professor Jennifer Doudnaâs group at the Innovative Genomics Institute published their discovery of VIPR, a new genome editor found in viruses, which they hypothesize to be an ancestral predecessor of CRISPR. In nature
UC Berkeley researchers identify sleep impairment as crucial factor in Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UC Berkeley researchers have identified how sleep impairment is linked to memory decline â a significant development in researching the progression of Alzheimerâs disease. In a study published Sept. 11, postdoctoral fellow Omer Sharon and colleagues collaborated with researchers from Washington University in St. Louis to evaluate the effects of sleep impairment on memory. Participant subjects in the study were Berkeley and St. Louis community members. The Berkeley cohortâs volunteers were
UC Berkeley researchers identify possible diabetes and obesity treatment without GLP-1 side effects (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UC Berkeley researchers from the Näär Lab have identified a potential new treatment for diabetes and obesity, using a small molecule called TOFA to burn fat without the common side effects of existing weight loss drugs. In a study published Aug. 21, researchers identified that TOFA â which they have been studying to regulate fat metabolism â could be orally administered in mice as an obesity treatment. The mice treated didnât experience muscle loss or gastrointestinal side effects common
UC Berkeley-affiliated AI research receives funding from DOE despite other Trump funding cuts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-three UC and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory projects were among those announced under the Department of Energyâs Genesis Mission, a national initiative towards âAI-driven scientific discovery.â The DOE is committing more than $5 billion to the mission, which spans national laboratories, academia and industry. Genesis Mission-funded projects will âenable researchers to ⦠refine new approaches to accelerating scientific discovery and breakthroughs,â according to Berkeley
Berkeley Earth shows how climate change impacts your city (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While countries across the world reach near-record highs this summer, a Berkeley nonprofit has released a new platform for people to view climate projections unique to their specific locations and cities. Berkeley Earth released Synthesis, earlier this month as an open-access platform combining historical observations with climate projections for cities and regions, rather than the entire globe. The model includes weather data for more than 40,000 sites across all countries around the world and
