UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified hundreds of genomic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in East African families who have a markedly higher prevalence of the neurodevelopmental condition than other areas worldwide.

High levels of physical activity may mitigate brain loss in adults and help maintain long-term cognitive health, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report in a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

– The STING protein, known for helping cells fight viral infections by generating inflammation, also appears to function as a quality control sensor for organelles that serve as cellular waste disposal systems, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers found. Their study, published in Molecular

New technologies that can capture subtle changes in a patient’s voice may help physicians diagnose cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms begin to show.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling in cells, a process critical to human health. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, answer a fundamental question in cell biology and could lead to therapies for

A team led by UT Southwestern scientists has discovered a mechanism that promotes metastasis in pancreatic, breast, and potentially other cancers along with a new druggable therapeutic target based on this mechanism to block metastases.

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.

A mammalian protein previously shown by UT Southwestern microbiologists to inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19 in cell culture also protected live mouse models, significantly limiting infection in the lung cells and diminishing the symptoms.

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

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered a new way that cells regulate senescence, an irreversible end to cell division. The findings, published in Cell, could one day lead to new interventions for a variety of conditions associated with aging, including
