A new technology that allows researchers to peer inside malignant tumors shows that two experimental drugs can normalize aberrant blood vessels, oxygenation, and other aspects of the tumor microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), helping to suppress the tumor’s growth and spread, UT Southwestern researchers report.

Electronic Health Record vendors in the $31.5 billion industry should not be permitted to provide continuing medical education activities and presentations to physicians to avoid bias, researchers argue in a perspective article for the Association of American Medical Colleges’ journal, Academic Medicine.

Loss of an enzyme necessary for a process called lipoylation disrupts the way cancer cells copy their DNA, increasing their vulnerability to a class of anticancer drugs known as PARP inhibitors, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

Much like human beings, songbirds learn how to vocalize from their parents. Males imitate songs from their fathers and then sing to attract mates. Although the circuits that generate human speech are more complicated to decipher, the brains of songbirds offer a viable model for better understanding how humans learn to speak and what goes wrong in communication disorders such as autism.

The American Heart Association 2030 Impact Goals aim to help all people live healthier for more years of their life.

When Haley and Zachary Sanders had their first baby, Rowan, and learned she had multiple heart defects, they were shattered. They never imagined technology borrowed from video games would help save their baby’s life.

Two studies led by the Chahrour Lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center shed new light on genes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the neurodevelopmental disease characterized by impaired communication, abnormal social interactions, and restricted, repetitive behaviors.

An RNA-modifying enzyme linked to cancer and neurological disorders selects its targets by recognizing specific RNA shapes and sequences, according to a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers.

A study led by UT Southwestern dermatologists suggests that a common inflammatory skin condition may stem from poorly regulated sex hormones.

One member of a large protein family that is known to stop the spread of bacterial infections by prompting infected human cells to self-destruct appears to kill the infectious bacteria instead.
