A cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program developed for parents whose child was born prematurely reduced harmful perceptions that their child remained medically fragile, according to a new study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified more than 200 strategies bacteria use to avoid viral infection. Their findings, published in Cell Host & Microbe, shed light on a microbial “arms race” that could lead to new approaches to fight infectious bacteria.

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.

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.

A well-known class of drugs used to manage Type 2 diabetes and control weight could offer hope for patients who also struggle with related chronic kidney disease (CKD), researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found.

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 far shorter, simpler, and less toxic treatment protocol for patients with triple-negative breast cancer produced outcomes similar to the current standard of care, a clinical trial co-led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher shows.

Mutations in a gene called OTP cause obesity by controlling the output of another gene already targeted by an anti-obesity drug, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

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.
