UT Southwestern researchers have identified factors that put patients with childhood-onset lupus at elevated risk for poor outcomes, such as end-stage renal disease or death, as they transition from pediatric to adult health care.

A UT Southwestern research team has generated biological structures that resemble blastocysts, the structures that form from the early development of fertilized eggs in mammals, using previously established human embryonic stem cells derived from embryos donated for research and human-induced pluripotent stem cells generated from adult cells – collectively known as human pluripotent stem cells.

A once-daily combination treatment for those with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes amplifies the treatment’s effects – lowering both weight and the number of hypoglycemic events, and improving quality of life and glucose control ¬– and makes participants more likely to adhere to their medications.

A study by researchers revealed that gut bacteria can penetrate tumor cells and boost the effectiveness of an experimental immunotherapy that targets the CD47 protein.

Kidney damage that seemingly heals appears to mutate the DNA in the mitochondria of kidney cells, making the organ less resilient to future stressors and reducing its function over time, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

Dysfunctional mitochondria, organelles that serve as cellular power generators, appear to cause the symptoms of Gulf War illness (GWI) among tens of thousands of veterans of the Persian Gulf War, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists confirmed in a new study.
