Two new studies led by UT Southwestern scientists outline how individual cells maintain their internal clocks, driven both through heritable and random means.

Scientists at Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and change how the recipient cell functions.

UT Southwestern researchers have uncovered how cells in general modulate their energy consumption based on their surroundings.

Less than three weeks after getting on an organ transplant list for HIV-positive patients, John Welch got the call. A liver was available from a deceased donor, and it was an excellent match.

A study from UT Southwestern researchers sheds new light on how the bug that’s the No. 1 cause of bacterial diarrhea finds its way through the human gut.

Kidney cancers that metastasize to the pancreas have a fundamentally different biology from those that metastasize elsewhere

Immunotherapy drugs that target a protein called programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the surface of cancer cells have quickly become a mainstay to treat many forms of cancer, often with dramatic results.

Cancer cells avoid an immune system attack after radiation by commandeering a cell signaling pathway that helps dying cells avoid triggering an immune response

A combination of immunotherapy agents that encourages some immune cells to eat cancer cells and alert others to attack tumors put mice with a deadly type of brain cancer called glioblastoma into long-term remission

When activated in ovarian cancer cells, the receptor for the body’s primary stress hormone alters the tumor environment in ways that blunt immune response, according to new research led by UT Southwestern Medical Center.
