A faulty gene, rather than a faulty diet, may explain why some people gain excessive weight even when they don’t eat more than others.

UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a molecular pathway that allows cells to sense when their lipid supplies become depleted, prompting a flurry of activity that prevents starvation. The findings, reported in Nature, might someday lead to new ways to combat metabolic disorders and a variety

The traditional lipid panel may not give the full picture of cholesterol-related heart disease risk for many Americans, according to a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers and published in JAMA Cardiology.

Whether you’re hosting summer backyard cookouts or escaping the heat with indoor gatherings, a nutrition expert at UT Southwestern Medical Center says there are lots of options for adding some nutrition to your plate.

Disruptions in patterns of daily activity and rest may provide early clues to heightened dementia risk, a study co-led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center scientist found.

UT Southwestern Medical Center is the No. 1 hospital in Dallas-Fort Worth – the nation’s fourth-largest metro area – and ranks among the top 50 hospitals nationally in 10 specialties ranging from brain to heart care.

Using a powerful microscopy technique, a team led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has gained insights into how the body uses vitamin K, an essential nutrient that plays a pivotal role in blood clotting and other physiological functions.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling in cells, a process critical to human health. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, answer a fundamental question in cell biology and could lead to therapies for

A well-known class of drugs used to manage Type 2 diabetes and control weight could offer hope for patients who also struggle with related chronic kidney disease (CKD), researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found.

A set of biomarkers not traditionally associated with cell fate can accurately predict how genetically identical cells behave differently under stress, according to a UT Southwestern study.
