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.

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.

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).

Higher summer temperatures are resulting in more children seeking emergency care for heat-related illnesses, with nearly 1 in 5 needing hospitalization, according to new research from UT Southwestern Medical Center published in Academic Pediatrics.

Mold growth in homes is a significant trigger for hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), an inflammatory lung disease, according to a new study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center. Published in PLOS One, the research represents the largest study to date linking home mold exposure to HP and the first from North Texas.
