UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers identified a genetic mutation that slows the growth of melanoma and potentially other cancers by harnessing the power of the immune system. Their findings, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, could lead to new treatments that improve outcomes from existing cancer immunotherapies.

– Being pregnant during the holidays brings its own set of challenges whether you’re traveling to visit family and friends or just looking to get away.

When William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital (CUH) opened on Dec. 6, 2014, it established a new level of care in North Texas, where patients could receive the most advanced treatments for both common and complex conditions in a truly healing environment.

A gene previously linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers appears to play an important role in steering cells in the brain’s hippocampus toward their ultimate identities, the same team reported in a new study. The findings, published in Science Advances, could eventually lead to new therapies for the prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder.

Retired Navy Adm. William McRaven, former commander of U.S. Special Operations who oversaw the SEAL Team Six raid that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011, has donated $1 million to UT Southwestern Medical Center to support its research program focused on Gulf War Illness (GWI), as well as mental health programs for veterans.

A dietary supplement developed by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher significantly reduced high blood sugar caused by a diuretic used to lower blood pressure while also correcting electrolyte imbalances, UTSW researchers report.

A new study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center molecular biologists presents a novel culture system to grow both embryonic and extraembryonic stem cells, potentially providing important insights into the genesis of congenital malformations and early developmental disorders.

On a Thursday morning in Dallas, Fiona Strasserking, M.D., chats with her UT Southwestern colleague while internal medicine residents from the University of Zambia log on to their Zoom call. Rafic Berbarie, M.D., Associate Professor in UTSW’s Division of Cardiology, is today’s guest lecturer and the topic is “Evaluation of Chest Pain.” He’ll cover everything from chronic angina to myocardial infarction.

A microprotein called adipogenin appears to play a key role in helping fat cells store lipid droplets – a phenomenon that’s pivotal for metabolic health, a study co-led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

By using a genetic technique they developed that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical organelles.
