Failure of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to survive when grown with the PSCs of distantly related species occurs because of an innate immune reaction in the nonhuman cells, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests.

A rare genetic disorder discovered by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers and their colleagues can cause brain damage from dangerously low blood sugar levels and liver damage in infants, along with variable body fat loss, fatty tumors, and metabolic complications in youth and adults.

The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University and UT Southwestern Medical Center have joined forces to address some of the highest maternal morbidity rates in the country by forming the North Texas Maternal Health Accelerator (MHA).

A UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher and his colleagues developed a novel presurgical vaccine strategy that may prevent dangerous infections in patients receiving hip, knee, and other joint replacements.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered a molecular pathway that links obesity to widespread inflammation, providing long-sought insight into why obesity increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, and certain cancers.

A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its biological function while resisting aggregation, a pathological trait linked to neurodegenerative diseases called tauopathies.

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have discovered that increasing the levels of a protein called BACH2 makes engineered cancer-fighting immune cells behave more like stem cells, improving their therapeutic effectiveness.

– UT Southwestern, one of the first medical schools in the country to integrate culinary medicine and nutrition education into its curriculum, is partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and more than 50 other top medical schools to launch a program promoting more widespread, meaningful nutrition training for future doctors.

An emotional overattachment to social media may be associated with increased severity of mental health symptoms among young people being treated for depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, according to researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

David Mangelsdorf, Ph.D., Chair and Professor of Pharmacology and Professor of Biochemistry at UT Southwestern Medical Center, has been awarded the Hill Prize in Biological Sciences from the Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering, Science and Technology (TAMEST) in recognition of his long-standing research on orphan nuclear receptors – proteins in the cell nucleus that flip genes on and off and are triggered by unknown molecules.
