A new combination of drugs slowed the growth of cancer cells by an unexpected mechanism that may one day lead to improved treatment of cervical cancer, a UT Southwestern-led study published in Molecular Cancer Research suggests.

A recent viral video showing a California ophthalmologist removing 23 contact lenses from an elderly patient’s eye has drawn attention to the importance of properly using contact lenses to ensure the health of your eyes.

For patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, development of the so-called Y537S mutation signals that their disease has taken an aggressive course and may become resistant to endocrine therapy.

UT Southwestern Medical Center is part of a major undertaking that will bring together more than 40 scientists, doctors, and industry experts handpicked from around the country to make vision-restoring whole eye transplants a reality.

UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a new form of progeria, a rare premature-aging syndrome, in a man from Malaysia and traced its cause to a novel gene mutation.

A study led by a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center shows a national initiative significantly improved stroke outcomes for millions of patients over its first 20 years, enhancing quality of care and consistency at more than 2,800 U.S. hospitals including UTSW.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center developed nanoparticles that successfully edited the disease-causing gene in the lungs of a mouse model of cystic fibrosis (CF), swapping a mutated form for a healthy one that persisted in stem cells. Their findings, reported in Science, could offer hope

A UT Southwestern Medical Center quality improvement team led a large-scale, multispecialty project in partnership with the Parkland Center of Innovation and Value to help patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) better understand their devices and make choices about their care.
