A new “self-driving” microscope developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers solves two fundamental challenges that have long plagued microscopy: first, imaging living cells or organisms at dramatically different scales, and second, following a specific structure or area of interest over

A protein called angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) can both inhibit and encourage blood vessel changes critical for sepsis, a leading cause of hospital deaths worldwide, a new study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

Cancer cells appear to hijack a genetic pathway involved in DNA repair to drive malignancy and overcome treatment, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows. Their findings, published in Cell, explain how chromosomes in some tumors undergo massive rearrangements and could lead

Metformin, a well-tolerated diabetes drug prescribed to as many as 150 million people worldwide, may also protect cells from radioactive damage, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.

The painful experience of having a kidney stone has become more common in recent years, including in Texas, part of the “Stone Belt” where hot weather can cause dehydration. But small dietary changes as well as drinking lots of water can help avert the discomfort, says a board-certified physician

Young adolescents face different challenges in pregnancy compared with their older teenage peers and adults that are sometimes exacerbated by high rates of obesity, a new study by UT Southwestern researchers suggests.

A dietary supplement developed by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher significantly reduced high blood sugar caused by a diuretic used to lower blood pressure while also correcting electrolyte imbalances, UTSW researchers report.

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

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center developed nanoparticles that successfully edited the disease-causing gene in the lungs of a mouse model of cystic fibrosis (CF), swapping a mutated form for a healthy one that persisted in stem cells. Their findings, reported in Science, could offer hope

A UT Southwestern Medical Center quality improvement team led a large-scale, multispecialty project in partnership with the Parkland Center of Innovation and Value to help patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) better understand their devices and make choices about their care.
