LA JOLLA, CA—Salk scientists have identified a unique molecular signature in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), "reprogrammed" cells that show great promise in regenerative medicine thanks to their ability to generate a range of body tissues.
In this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Salk scientists and their collaborators at University of…

Scripps researchers reassess heat waves against the backdrop of rising
temperatures
Scripps Institution of Oceanography / University of California, San Diego
A new study by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, suggests that the nature of California heat waves is changing due to global warming.
Climate researchers Alexander Gershunov and Kristen Guirguis detected a trend toward more humid heat waves that are expressed very…

Small droplets of friction-generated melts weaken faults and can lead to 'megaquakes'
Scripps Institution of Oceanography / University of California, San Diego
Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have come a step closer to deciphering some of the basic mysteries and mechanisms behind earthquakes and how average-sized earthquakes may evolve into massive earthquakes.
In a paper published in the Aug. 30 issue of the journal Nature, Scripps…
