New research from UT Southwestern suggests that RNA exosomes– the cellular machines that degrade old molecules of RNA – play a key role in the development of B cells, which are critical to the immune system’s ability to protect against infection.

Maternal anemia has the same definition across the sociodemographic spectrum, according to a UT Southwestern study of a diverse population of uncomplicated patients.

UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a molecular pathway that allows cells to sense when their lipid supplies become depleted, prompting a flurry of activity that prevents starvation. The findings, reported in Nature, might someday lead to new ways to combat metabolic disorders and a variety of other health conditions.

A compound synthesized by a team led by UT Southwestern scientists kills a range of hard-to-treat cancer types by targeting a previously unexploited vulnerability, a new study reports.

With summer approaching and temperatures on the rise, it’s important to protect not just your skin but also your eyes from the sun’s rays.

Hip and knee replacements, sports injuries, trauma. That’s typically what comes to mind when one thinks of orthopedic surgery, not diabetes.

Scar-like cells that make up a sizable portion of malignant pancreatic tumors and shield these cancers from immune attack are derived from mesothelial cells that line tissues and organs, a new study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests.

When Vickie Bell-Percival was offered the opportunity to have a nodule on her thyroid treated with a new nonsurgical technique called radiofrequency ablation (RFA), she didn’t hesitate.

A generous $25 million commitment from the Once Upon a Time Foundation will create the Raynor Cerebellum Project at UT Southwestern Medical Center (RCP-UTSW) to investigate diseases associated with cerebellum dysfunction, with the goal of discovering how to preserve and restore lost brain function.

Researchers at UT Southwestern have developed a first-of-its-kind ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy platform that delivers immune-stimulating agents to cells for the development of systemic anti-tumor immunity.
