Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have been able to produce antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in hen eggs. Antibodies harvested from eggs might be used to treat COVID-19 or as a preventative measure for people exposed to the disease.
While COVID-19 has been racing through much of the human population, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has also turned up in other mammals. This leads to many questions.
On April 22, the Office of Research hosted a Team Research Forum with six experts to discuss the strength of interdisciplinary research in predictive intelligence so humans can better prepare themselves to navigate the risks of future pandemic challenges.
The field of genetics has enabled the prediction of susceptibility to heritable diseases and map the genome of many species. Now, modern genetics and the birth of a unique foal in New Zealand has provided a successful example of tracking a mutation at its origin.
Collaborative and translational research is a cornerstone of advancing the science of veterinary medicine at UC Davis. Three scientists at the university are taking regenerative medicine to new heights.
A study led by the University of California, Davis, has found significant differences in gut bacteria between Black and white women, even after accounting for their insulin sensitivity status.
Mange has decimated the population of wild vicuñas and guanacos in an Argentinian national park that was created to conserve them, according to a study from the Administration of National Parks in Argentina and the University of California, Davis.
Harnessing the research and scientific brainpower needed to treat and prevent the next pandemic is the goal of a new consortium of University of California campuses and national laboratories.
UC Davis’ comparative oncology program, a partnership between UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and Veterinary Medicine that combines human and companion-animal oncology, has been included as part of the renewal of UC Davis’ status as a “comprehensive” cancer center by the National Cancer Institute.
