Adenomyosis – an abnormal tissue growth into the muscular wall of the uterus that causes painful cramps and heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding – is more common than generally appreciated, a review of the literature by gynecologists at UT Southwestern Medical Center revealed.

UT Southwestern researchers report the first structural confirmation that endogenous – or self-made – molecules can set off innate immunity in mammals via a pair of immune cell proteins called the TLR4-MD-2 receptor complex.

Jere Mitchell, M.D., former director of the Harry S. Moss Heart Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center and an internationally recognized exercise physiologist whose seminal findings on maximal oxygen uptake changed conventional medical practice on bed rest and laid the foundation for central command physiology, died July 17. He was 92.

UT Southwestern Medical Center has completed a five-year, $1 billion campaign to fuel its commitment to advance brain research and clinical care at its Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute, making it one of the largest brain-focused investments at a U.S. academic medical center.

The PGA of America and Omni Hotels & Resorts today announced a new six-year partnership with UT Southwestern Medical Center, naming the hospital as the “Official Healthcare Partner of PGA Frisco.” The relationship will begin in 2023, to coincide with the official opening of PGA Frisco and Omni PGA Frisco Resort.

More than 200 UT Southwestern medical students matched to more than 80 programs across the nation, including Harvard, Yale, and Johns Hopkins, as well as a dozen medical programs across Texas.

Cognitive decline is the biggest factor in determining how long patients with Alzheimer’s disease will live after being diagnosed, according to a new study from researchers at UT Southwestern.
