Mutations protected mice from B-cell cancers
By completely or even partially depleting a protein called midnolin in B cells, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suppressed leukemia and lymphoma in a mouse model genetically prone to these cancers.
Machine learning sheds light on gene transcription
A team led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center developed deep learning models to identify a simple set of rules that govern the activity of promoters – regions of DNA that initiate the process by which genes produce proteins.
UTSW Research: Improved bladder cancer detection, tracking gamma waves, and more
Studies analyze blue light cystoscopy, irregularities in brain activity, the origins of abnormal bone formations, and HIV transcription.
Combined therapy makes headway for liver cancer
A drug that targets a protein known as phosphatidylserine boosted the response rate for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving immunotherapy without compromising their safety, according to results of a phase two clinical trial conducted by UT Southwestern Medical Center.
