Harden seeks fresh start in college football via transfer portal

Former SMU and UCLA running back TJ Harden has entered the NCAA transfer portal after the 2025 season with SMU, where he led the Mustangs in rushing (171 carries, 787 yards, nine touchdowns). Harden previously piled up over 1,600 rushing yards across 31 games at UCLA and pursued an NFL path as an undrafted free agent with the Browns in 2026, later signing with the Seattle Seahawks before being waived. He now aims to continue his college career at another program through the transfer portal.

The family of actor Robert Carradine filed a wrongful death and elder abuse lawsuit against UCLA, alleging its psychiatric unit failed to confiscate Carradine’s belt and follow safety protocols upon admission, used unsafe furniture, and inadequately monitored him, contributing to self-harm and a fatal brain injury after a five-week ICU stay.

NIH funds UCLA biomaterials breakthroughs for eye repair and wound healing

UCLA chemical engineering associate professor Nasim Annabi has secured nearly $2.5 million in NIH grants to develop tunable regenerative biomaterials: a four-year, light-curable hydrogel that encapsulates mesenchymal stem cells to treat corneal injuries, and a two-year, roughly $368,000 award to improve UgiGel, a gelatin-based self-healing bioadhesive dressing with anti-inflammatory properties for chronic wound healing. The corneal project aims to enhance cell retention and tissue regeneration with two hydrogel variants (softer adhesive for epithelium growth and stronger adhesive for tissue repair), while the wound-dressing work seeks stronger adhesion, antioxidant improvements, and temperature-responsive removal, in collaboration with dermatology and medicine researchers at UCLA.

The Bruins’ late-season offensive slump, injuries, and the regional heartbreak capped a dramatic fall for a team that had begun and ended the year at No. 1 in the Baseball America rankings.
