UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a molecular pathway that allows cells to sense when their lipid supplies become depleted, prompting a flurry of activity that prevents starvation. The findings, reported in Nature, might someday lead to new ways to combat metabolic disorders and a variety of other health conditions.

UT Southwestern Medical Center is pleased to announce a $100 million gift from the O’Donnell Foundation to endow and support its new School of Public Health. This investment is the largest gift to a school of public health at a public university in the U.S. and matches the third largest gift supporting any school of public health.

More than 200 UT Southwestern medical students matched to more than 80 programs across the nation, including Harvard, Yale, and Johns Hopkins, as well as a dozen medical programs across Texas.

Babies and toddlers who need a tracheostomy – a tube surgically inserted into their windpipe to help relieve breathing problems – are at a high risk of accumulating fluid behind their eardrum when on a ventilator.

When Vickie Bell-Percival was offered the opportunity to have a nodule on her thyroid treated with a new nonsurgical technique called radiofrequency ablation (RFA), she didn’t hesitate.

A team led by UTSW researchers has identified a molecule produced by male parasitic worms called schistosomes that prompts sexual maturity in females of these species.

New research from UT Southwestern suggests that RNA exosomes– the cellular machines that degrade old molecules of RNA – play a key role in the development of B cells, which are critical to the immune system’s ability to protect against infection.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute on Aging recently approved funding for a 2022 study by the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine (IEEM).

Researchers at UT Southwestern’s Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center are developing an innovative interface to make the wealth of genomics data from next-generation sequencing visible and actionable in real time for clinicians and researchers.

The body’s ability to prevent food poisoning by producing a natural antimicrobial compound increases during the day, when exposure to noxious bacteria is most likely, a new study by UT Southwestern scientists suggests.
