Dr. John Sweetenham, Associate Director for Clinical Affairs at UT Southwestern’s Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, has papers on cancer patients’ use of emergency departments featured at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

UT Southwestern scientists have identified a previously unknown mechanism by which yeast cells regulate the production of mevalonate, a form of cholesterol. The findings, published online in eLife, could eventually lead to new ways to fight high cholesterol, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease in humans. “It’s exciting that in yeast, there’s a previously unappreciated way to regulate mevalonate,” said study leader Dr. W. Mike Henne,, Assistant Professor of Cell Biology and Biophysics at UTSW and a member of the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. “This may be an important regulatory mechanism for cholesterol in our cells too.”

The latest methods use high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) waves to penetrate the brain and remove unhealthy tissue. It is similar to how children use a magnifying glass to focus the sun’s rays and burn a scrap of paper – only instead of sunlight, ultrasound is used.
