While randomized comparative trials are needed, a relatively new treatment option for upper urinary tract cancers shows promise for lowering long-term recurrence in many patients with low-grade disease, according to a multicenter study led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

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

In humans, virtually every cell stores fat. However, patients with a rare condition called congenital lipodystrophy, which is often diagnosed in childhood, cannot properly store fat, which accumulates in the body’s organs and increases the risk of early death from heart or liver disease.

Treating people with Type 2 diabetes with a new once-a-week injectable insulin therapy proved to be safe and as effective as daily insulin injections

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model to improve the detection of breast cancer metastasis, which could reduce the need for needle or surgical biopsies.

Oncology programs have sought to decrease visits by cancer patients to a hospital emergency department (ED) by offering resources such as 24/7 phone triage lines and urgent care clinics. However, these tend to be underutilized.

By focusing on a poxvirus protein, a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists has discovered an antiviral immune pathway that broadly fights a wide variety of viruses.

An increased concentration of the hormone leptin in fat cells is believed to be responsible for weight gain associated with antipsychotic drugs.

A gene-editing delivery system developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers simultaneously targeted the liver and lungs of a preclinical model of a rare genetic disease known as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), significantly improving symptoms for months after a single treatment, a

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have discovered an RNA pathway that appears to push stem cells to form nephrons, the functional units of kidneys. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, could lead to therapies that increase the number of nephrons in individuals at risk of
