Ancient viral remnants in the human genome are activated during pregnancy and after significant bleeding in order to increase blood cell production, an important step toward defining the purpose of “junk DNA” in humans, according to new research from Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered a new way that cells regulate senescence, an irreversible end to cell division. The findings, published in Cell, could one day lead to new interventions for a variety of conditions associated with aging, including

Nearly 6,000 front-line health care workers at UT Southwestern have received initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine since the Medical Center received its first shipment of 5,850 doses on Dec. 15.

People with Type 2 diabetes had significantly fewer heart attacks, strokes, heart failures, and deaths from cardiovascular disease when their blood pressure was lower than the current standard goal, a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher and his colleagues found.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered sex-specific differences in how fat accumulates in muscle and bone, uncovering patterns that could inform new approaches to treating age-related diseases.

Multidrug resistance in cancer can be overcome by combining a drug that blocks a key enzyme with another anticancer drug, according to a study in preclinical models led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The findings, published in Science Advances, could have implications for patients
