A healthy gut may play a bigger role in HIV treatment than scientists previously realized. Researchers found that a naturally occurring compound produced by beneficial gut bacteria helped repair HIV-related gut damage and improved treatment effectiveness in preclinical studies.

Our researchers recently solved a medical mystery. They knew that TRPM4 gene mutations cause serious heart diseases or serious skin diseases, but never both. The team discovered that body temperature and other factors played a role in gene activation. Image: Researchers wear white coats in a lab.

For rural California, meeting the growing demand for care requires a strong, intentional pipeline of primary care physicians. Here at the school of medicine, that pipeline is delivering results. During last month's Match Day, half of our 2026 graduating class will train in primary care residencies.
