Fat cells genetically altered to overproduce a hormone called FGF21 resulted in improved metabolic health and an extended lifespan in mice that were fed a high-fat diet, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report. The findings, published in Cell Metabolism, could lead to new interventions

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.

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

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

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a machine learning model that can identify patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition characterized by abnormal changes in the heart’s structure and function that predisposes them to increased risk of heart failure.

A team of researchers including UT Southwestern Medical Center Pediatrics faculty members Jo-Ann Nesiama, M.D., Professor, and Geetanjali Srivastava, M.D., M.P.H., Associate Professor, collected data on 5,641 ED visits for pediatric anaphylaxis between 2016 and 2019 from 30 hospitals in the U.S. and

Your cell phone can harbor bacteria-causing infections, so remember to properly clean it.

A set of biomarkers not traditionally associated with cell fate can accurately predict how genetically identical cells behave differently under stress, according to a UT Southwestern study.

Mold growth in homes is a significant trigger for hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), an inflammatory lung disease, according to a new study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center. Published in PLOS One, the research represents the largest study to date linking home mold exposure to HP and the first
