The savings were driven by significant decreases in emergency department visits and hospital days among patients who participated in the groundbreaking program.
Longwei Liu is working to create cures that remotely trigger cell and gene therapies for conditions including cancer and a genetic disorder that can rob infants of their vision.
Two widely used tests for early markers of Alzheimer’s can be effective for an understudied population at high risk, according to USC-led research.
Researchers from USC and colleagues will investigate how stroke disrupts the brain networks that control the bladder and whether brain scans can predict who will benefit from a noninvasive spinal stimulation therapy.
Using advanced 3D genome mapping technology to study prostate cancer cells, USC researchers have discovered a new feature of gene control networks that could help fight cancer.
Research suggests that the health of short-range brain wiring may help protect thinking abilities when gray matter declines.
USC researchers developed a technique that uses focused ultrasound to temporarily “light up” solid tumors, giving cancer-fighting immune cells a target they can finally recognize.
Two back-to-back grants fund USC studies to investigate PFAS as a novel risk factor for two cancers and to find ways to mitigate that risk.
USC research finds that physically strenuous work may not offer the same brain protection as voluntary leisure-time exercise and may even increase dementia risk.
