Molecular switch linked to lineage plasticity, therapy resistance
Two genes working in tandem play a critical role in shaping the identity and behavior of prostate cancer cells and their response to treatment, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.
How AI will enhance health care
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the landscape of health care, revolutionizing scientific discovery, drug development, diagnosis and treatment, as well as health care delivery operations. As with any emerging technology, its success lies in its implementation, and The University of Texas System is committed to harnessing AI’s potential for the ultimate benefit of patients while ensuring its ethical and responsible use.
New AI tool may help detect early signs of dementia
A novel speech analysis tool that uses artificial intelligence was highly accurate in detecting mild cognitive impairment and dementia in a Spanish-speaking population, according to research led by UT Southwestern Medical Center.
The new age of AI is dawning in science and medicine at UT Southwestern
When cancer cells metastasize, breaking away from the primary tumor and spreading to blood, tissue, or lymph nodes, the disease is at its most lethal.
Tips to soak up the sun but not its damaging rays
As the warm weather and summer vacations draw more people outdoors, a UT Southwestern Medical Center cancer specialist is reminding everyone to stay vigilant of potential sun damage.
UTSW study sheds light on rare form of autism
A new study focused on the gene tied to a rare form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) called FOXP1 syndrome offers hope that gene therapy might be able to help patients with this condition.
Tumor mutations may not predict response to immunotherapy
The number of mutations in the DNA of cancerous tumors may not be an indicator of how well patients will respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), a commonly prescribed type of immunotherapy, a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center reported in a retrospective study.
New AI tool to detect possible metastatic breast cancer
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model to improve the detection of breast cancer metastasis, which could reduce the need for needle or surgical biopsies.
Fibromyalgia, IBS patients linked to multiple-drug intolerance
Patients with fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who take multiple medications are more likely to develop severe drug intolerance than healthy patients, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers reported.
Bacterial proteins shed light on antiviral immunity
A unique collaboration between two UT Southwestern Medical Center labs – one that studies bacteria and another that studies viruses – has identified two immune proteins that appear key to fighting infections.
