Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer, can place a significant financial burden on patients, according to an analysis led by a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

UT Southwestern Medical Center has established the Beth Levine, M.D. Prize in Autophagy Research, an annual award and lecture for exceptional scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of autophagy.

An innovative virtual reality (VR) training tool could soon play a major role in helping physicians recognize and respond to potentially violent patient encounters.

A novel combination of drugs successfully killed breast cells carrying double mutations in the HER2 gene that had rendered them resistant to a commonly used cancer therapy, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers showed.

Patients undergoing cataract surgery typically have their natural lens replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). But complications occasionally arise that require the placement of a more surgically challenging secondary IOL.

Although hundreds of thousands of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are eligible for high-intensity statin therapy, most are not using the drugs, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.

Researchers led by a team at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified cellular and molecular features of the brain that set modern humans apart from their closest primate relatives and ancient human ancestors. The findings, published in Nature, offer new insights into human brain evolution.

A new study by UT Southwestern’s Simmons Cancer Center scientists suggests that lactate, a metabolic byproduct produced by cells during strenuous exercise, can rejuvenate immune cells that fight cancer.
