A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the surfaces of many cell types that generate their movement.

By using a genetic technique they developed that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical organelles.

Protein complexes that play a critical role in launching an immune response assemble in droplets that form within the liquid environment in cells much like oil droplets in water, UT Southwestern scientists report in a new study.

Usage of e-cigarettes, also called “vaping,” has medical experts concerned because of the addictive nicotine and potentially harmful toxins they deliver.

A new imaging device at UT Southwestern is making complex aortic repairs safer for patients and operating room staff by dramatically reducing their exposure to radiation.

UT Southwestern researchers have identified a molecular pathway responsible for the spread of glioblastoma to surrounding tissue in the brain, as well as an existing drug that curbed tumor growth in animal models.

UTSW study suggests combination therapy might help prostate cancer patients overcome resistance to current treatments.

COVID-19 impairs the function of the body’s microvascular system with an intensity that corresponds to the severity of disease, suggests a new study by an international consortium, including UT Southwestern Medical Center.

A study of patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest shows that women have a lower likelihood of survival compared with men and are less likely to receive procedures commonly administered following cardiac arrest.
