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.

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.

If you’re feeling tired this coming week, don’t be surprised. Moving our clocks ahead one hour to shift into daylight saving time (which occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday) disrupts the body’s biological clock, affecting sleep patterns and how we function, according to a UT Southwestern Medical Center

By completely or even partially depleting a protein called midnolin in B cells, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suppressed leukemia and lymphoma in a mouse model genetically prone to these cancers.

The Peter O’Donnell Jr. School of Public Health will strive to address the world’s most pressing public health problems through creative cross-disciplinary research and a focus on effecting change, said Saad B. Omer, M.B.B.S., M.P.H., Ph.D., who joined UT Southwestern Medical Center on June 1 as the

State, regional, and business leaders joined researchers and students from UT Southwestern Medical Center and The University of Texas at Dallas for the dedication of the Texas Instruments Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Building that will accelerate training for the next generation and foster

Total knee replacements performed with the help of a surgical robot have better outcomes on average than similar surgeries performed manually but can cost significantly more, a new study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

A protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease in the brain also causes problems in the body’s fat cells, where it invades the cells’ energy centers, increasing obesity and the risk of diabetes.

UT Southwestern Medical Center’s Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center is among the first in the nation and the first in Texas to offer radiation treatments using a new technology that combines positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with radiotherapy to precisely treat bone and lung
