Geneticists have adapted CRISPR technology to correct Duchenne muscular dystrophy mutations (DMD).

Among the latest examples, a UT Southwestern study of retired NFL players published this spring showed no significant association between the length of their careers, the number of concussions they sustained, and their cognitive function later in life. Other research has found comparable results in

For a second consecutive year, UT Southwestern Medical Center is the top institution internationally within the “healthcare” category for publishing high-quality scientific research, according to the recently released Nature Index 2019 Annual Tables.

Combining a high fat diet with a drug that raises blood pressure gave them a “two-hit” model, like a one-two punch to heart failure.

Amid growing concern about pathogens becoming more drug-resistant worldwide – and emerging new pathogens that have no current treatment – UT Southwestern has been selected to lead a five-year investigation into a promising new approach for controlling infections funded by a grant of up to $37

 Scientists can monitor the brain activity of a specific cell type to predict epileptic seizures four minutes in advance in humans and mice.

Shelter-in-place orders to reduce the spread of COVID-19 put unusual strains on people with obesity

Three drugs that are already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other international agencies can block the production of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 in human cells.

Scientists have developed a method to boost the efficiency of CRISPR gene editing in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), according to a study that could have implications for optimizing gene therapies for other diseases.

The protein responsible for the crawling movements of cells also drives the ability of cancer cells to grow when under stress.
