Study examines biological causes of cancer deaths
The ultimate cause of death from cancer isn’t metastatic disease, as researchers have long surmised, but an infiltration of tumors into major blood vessels that cause blood clots and multiorgan failure, a one-of-a-kind clinical study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center suggests.
Neurons in brain’s timekeeper might control nighttime hunger
Activating specific neurons in a part of the brain that serves as the body’s master circadian pacemaker caused mice to eat significantly more during a time of day when they would normally be at rest, a UT Southwestern Medical Center study shows.
AI can identify stroke types using clinical notes, study shows
Using only text from doctors’ notes and radiology reports, an artificial intelligence (AI) program known as GPT-4o reliably identified patients’ types of strokes, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers found.
