Seemingly healthy people whose blood contained antibodies associated with a condition called antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) were significantly more likely to experience a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or stroke than those without, a study led by UT Southwestern scientists shows.

Anti-obesity medications, including semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy), can effectively help patients manage weight regain after bariatric surgery, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

Overdose deaths from opioids, including prescription painkillers and synthetics like fentanyl, continue to rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 187 people in the U.S. die every day of opioid overdoses, most involving illicit and dangerous versions of fentanyl.

Vaginal estrogen cream, which is commonly prescribed to help women after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), did not prevent a recurrence of the condition, according to results of a multicenter clinical trial led by UT Southwestern Medical Center.

With triple-digit temperatures continuing across many parts of the country and the popularity of outdoor grilling showing no signs of slowing, a UT Southwestern Medical Center physician wants to remind people to be careful not to get burned by hot surfaces such as a grill or a playground slide.

A molecule called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) rose significantly in the blood of patients who underwent high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a procedure that is used to treat tremors and causes damage similar to a small stroke, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists discovered in a new study. Their findings, published in Brain Communications, reveal a potential biomarker for stroke and could eventually lead to blood tests that quickly diagnose brain injuries.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good” cholesterol, may play a vital role in conserving healthy brain matter in middle-aged adults, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered sex-specific differences in how fat accumulates in muscle and bone, uncovering patterns that could inform new approaches to treating age-related diseases.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling in cells, a process critical to human health. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, answer a fundamental question in cell biology and could lead to therapies for conditions including neurological disorders and cancer.

Using a powerful microscopy technique, a team led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has gained insights into how the body uses vitamin K, an essential nutrient that plays a pivotal role in blood clotting and other physiological functions.
