Targeting a protein called ZFP574 suppressed leukemia in a mouse model of the disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers showed in a new study.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered a new way that cells regulate senescence, an irreversible end to cell division. The findings, published in Cell, could one day lead to new interventions for a variety of conditions associated with aging, including neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer, as well as new therapies for a collection of diseases known as ribosomopathies.

Liver cells have a vital metabolic inflexibility during regeneration to starve dysfunctional cells and keep damage from spreading, according to new research from Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) published in Science.

Electric scooters carry a significant risk of orthopedic injuries and associated costs for medical care, which can create a financial burden for the public, according to a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers.

A weekly dose of semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) significantly reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in people who are overweight or obese with cardiovascular disease but no diabetes regardless of blood sugar level, according to a clinical trial including researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center.

More educated patients who are skilled at finding reliable information through social media don’t always see cancer as fatal while those with less schooling and social media awareness hold more fatalistic beliefs about the disease, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in adults, even those younger than 40, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found.

Mysterious cells that secrete hormones in the large intestine play a key role in regulating body weight through their relationship with intestinal bacteria, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, could lead to new treatments for obesity and extreme weight loss.

A statistical tool designed to analyze 11 characteristics of postmortem brains reliably diagnosed a common neurodegenerative disease known as essential tremor (ET), a study led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Columbia University shows.
