Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed novel serotonin receptor modulators designed as mixed 5-HT2A/2C partial agonists that demonstrate promising disease-modifying potential for Parkinson’s Disease with improved safety and efficacy.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a novel class of compounds for modulating serotonin receptors, offering potential treatment for various psychiatric and neurological disorders without inducing hallucinogenic effects.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a system of reusable, sterilizable 3D-printed surgical tools that enables safe, precise intraoperative deployment of Neuropixels probes within standard neurosurgical workflows.

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have expanded the knowledge on the rippled β-sheet, a protein structural motif formed by certain racemic peptides. Rippled β-sheets already show potential for Alzheimer’s research and drug delivery and leads to formation of hydrogels with enhanced properties. Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have further added to the structural foundation of rippled β-sheets, better understanding how rippled β-sheet formation can be controlled at the molecular level.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a therapeutic use of cannabinoids for the treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders (NDDs).

Amyloid-β (Aβ) is a protein that is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. Aβ oligomers aggregate to form amyloid plaques, which are found in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. These plaques have high polydispersity; they vary in shape and size. Previously, researchers at UC Santa Cruz demonstrated that using a racemic mixture of Aβ promoted fibril formation, an aggregation that is less neurotoxic than plaques of high polydispersity. Furthermore, these racemic counterparts form rippled β-sheets.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed non-invasive methods for intranasally delivering the drug allopregnanolone.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis and the Chiba University Center for Forensic Mental Health in Japan have collaborated to develop an enzyme inhibitor that prevents the onset of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a devastating and often fatal demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by the reactivation of the JC virus (JCV). In immunocompromised patients, the absence of effective T cell surveillance allows the virus to infect and lyse oligodendrocytes, leading to irreversible neurological damage. UC Berkeley researchers have developed a method for discovering and engineering antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically target JCV.
