UT Southwestern biochemist Zhijian “James” Chen, Ph.D., famously identified the cGAS enzyme pathway that alerts the human immune system to disease-causing invaders like viruses. Since then, researchers have found that cGAS signaling is an ancient, conserved defense strategy stretching from bacteria

Cellphone “selfies” distort facial features, an effect that may be driving an uptick in requests for plastic surgery, UT Southwestern researchers show in a new study.

Business consultant, attorney, and investor Debra Hunter Johnson, founder of Reciprocity Consulting Group, will chair the UT Southwestern Medical Center President’s Advisory Board for the 2023-2025 term.

UT Southwestern researchers have identified the molecular function of 87 inherited genetic variants that affect the risk of prostate cancer, and the majority appear to control the activity of genes located far away from the risk variants themselves.

Research teams led by two UT Southwestern Medical Center faculty members have been selected to receive competitive awards from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s (HHMI) Emerging Pathogens Initiative (EPI).

UT Southwestern Medical Center is one of seven health systems in the nation being recognized for its leadership development initiatives, the latest in a series of national and regional employer honors.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reliably establish measurements for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) “footprints” that are critical to the placement of grafts for reconstruction surgery, UT Southwestern researchers report.

When McKinney real estate developer John Hill was 35, his father died of prostate cancer. The elder Mr. Hill had undergone surgery to remove his prostate a few years earlier, but the cancer had already spread.

UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a new form of progeria, a rare premature-aging syndrome, in a man from Malaysia and traced its cause to a novel gene mutation.

Using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, UT Southwestern researchers corrected mutations responsible for a common inherited heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in human cells and a mouse model of the disease.
