Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates are similar among older adults despite varying 10-year mortality risks, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report in a new study.

A study by researchers revealed that gut bacteria can penetrate tumor cells and boost the effectiveness of an experimental immunotherapy that targets the CD47 protein.

Lorena Saelices Gomez, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biophysics and in the Center for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Southwestern, has been awarded $1.5 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to determine the structure of amyloids, key proteins that have been tied to

Moderately ill patients hospitalized with COVID-19 have better chances of survival if treated with therapeutic-dose anticoagulation, according to an international study involving 121 sites, including UT Southwestern Medical Center.

A study of mutant models of fragile X syndrome (FXS), a genetic disorder related to autism and intellectual disability, shows that activation of the cerebellum mitigates aberrant responses in sensory processing areas of the brain and improves neurodevelopmental behaviors.

Using genetic engineering, researchers at UT Southwestern and Indiana University have reprogrammed scar-forming cells in mouse spinal cords to create new nerve cells, spurring recovery after spinal cord injury.

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified an experimental molecular compound that significantly improved survival among cellular models and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the fatal neurodegenerative disease.

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.

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

Everyone experiences stress from time to time. And while brief bouts can be a good thing, prolonged or chronic stress can have negative effects on your overall health.
