Adding targeted radiation to chemotherapy prior to surgery may offer better control of pancreatic tumors – potentially reducing the rate of recurrence after treatment, according to a new study from UT Southwestern Medical Center. Published in Clinical Cancer Research, the novel study offers evidence of a more effective approach with biological insights for treating one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of cancer.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists has identified a specific stage of neurodevelopment when differentiating neural cells produce fewer ribosomes, which are responsible for making proteins.

A nanoparticle vaccine designed to fight cancers induced by human papillomavirus (HPV) eradicated tumors in an animal model of late-stage metastatic disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists report in a new study published in PNAS. The findings could ultimately lead to a new type of vaccine that would be used to treat a variety of cancers.

Female sex hormones can significantly enhance the progression of the rare neurodegenerative eye disease retinitis pigmentosa (RP), according to a preclinical study by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The findings, published in Science Advances, may lead to therapeutics to slow progression of the disease and help clinicians assess the risk of hormone therapies for female patients with genetic markers for the disease.

Heat generated by alternating magnetic fields (AMF) helps common antibiotics work better against prosthetic joint infections, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found.

UT Southwestern Medical Center has been selected to operate the new Texas Behavioral Health Center – the first state acute care behavioral health hospital in the Dallas-Fort Worth area – announcing plans to care for its first patients this summer.

Hispanic college students who encounter racial or ethnic discrimination on social media are more likely to turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism, according to a study led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher.
