Multidrug resistance in cancer can be overcome by combining a drug that blocks a key enzyme with another anticancer drug, according to a study in preclinical models led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The findings, published in Science Advances, could have implications for patients

Using a powerful microscopy technique, a team led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has gained insights into how the body uses vitamin K, an essential nutrient that plays a pivotal role in blood clotting and other physiological functions.

Tens of millions worldwide have dementia, neurodegenerative diseases that affect memory, thinking, and daily routines. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been identified as a risk factor for dementia and has been associated with dementia symptoms, such as cognitive decline and impairment. However, it

A molecule called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) rose significantly in the blood of patients who underwent high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a procedure that is used to treat tremors and causes damage similar to a small stroke, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists discovered in
