Using a tool called Automated Meiotic Mapping (AMM) that was developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center, a team of researchers has identified a gene that appears to be key for regulating food intake.

Zhijian “James” Chen, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Biology and Director of the Center for Inflammation Research at UT Southwestern Medical Center, has been elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, the United Kingdom’s national academy of sciences and the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.

Nitrous oxide, a commonly used analgesic gas, improved temporary opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and gene therapy delivery in mouse models using focused ultrasound (FUS), UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report in a new study.

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.

The CLOCK gene, which serves as a master controller of circadian rhythms, may play a key role in the extraordinary cognitive abilities of humans as well as neuropsychiatric disorders that afflict them, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.

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.
