“This is the first time that a human gene has been linked to a better recovery from stroke,” said the study's senior author Dr. S. Thomas Carmichael.

A missing gene makes a big difference in patients’ recovery from mild stroke

Scientists discover new type of immune cells that are essential for forming heart valves

Research by UCLA’s Gay Crooks, Amélie Montel-Hagen and Christopher Seet could point the way toward “off-the-shelf” T cell therapies that are more readily available to patients.

UCLA scientists create a renewable source of cancer-fighting T cells

Led by Dr. Donald Kohn and Katelyn Masiuk, the researchers engineered a “viral vector” that would turn on the FoxP3 gene only in regulatory T cells — and not in other types of cells.
