Using gene editing in a preclinical model, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center blocked the symptoms of a rare smooth muscle disease before they developed. Their findings, published in Circulation, could eventually lead to gene therapies for this and other genetic diseases affecting smooth

A computer model of the cellular environment inside the knee developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers sheds light on why women tend to have worse outcomes after knee injuries than men. Their findings, published in Scientific Reports, could facilitate research into new therapies for

Lipid and Metabolite Mass Spectrometry Facility The Center for Human Nutrition lipid mass spectrometry lab is in the Green Science Building (L4.308) and occupies 2,000 square feet of newly renovated, state-of-the-art laboratory space housing over 16 mass spectrometers. This is a newly constructed open-concept lab with a modular design that allows equipment to relocated with minimal effort or disruption based on current needs. Other than two chemical fume hoods and a sink, there are no fixed
