Researchers at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) have uncovered a treasure trove of information about hundreds of proteins released by the liver and how the timing of their release may affect bodily processes. A recent study, published June 2 in Nature Communications, describes how the liver releases certain proteins at […]

For decades, scientists have studied antibiotic resistance, which is how bacteria evolve mechanisms to evade lifesaving drugs. Now, researchers are warning that a similar challenge is emerging among fungi, where resistance to frontline antifungal medications is making serious infections increasingly difficult to treat. Nathan Wiederhold, PharmD, director of the Fungus Testing Laboratory and professor […]

Two scientists at UT Health San Antonio, the academic health center of The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio), will be honored with 2026 BioMedSA Innovation in Healthcare and Bioscience awards. The awards recognize San Antonio leaders in the areas of research, clinical innovation, entrepreneurship and lifetime achievement, whose accomplishments improve lives […]

Rates of autism have increased over the past three decades, and scientists continue to investigate the genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to the condition. A recent study from The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio), examined whether children with autism experienced different patterns of chemical exposure during early development. […]

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can be an effective treatment for men diagnosed with prostate cancer. By blocking testosterone, the therapy can slow or stop the cancer, contributing to a disease with high survival rates. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and its growth is driven in part by male […]

While several types of cancer are declining across the United States, endometrial cancer is on the rise, especially in South Texas. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States. This type of cancer is often diagnosed early and is highly survivable, but both endometrial cancer incidence and mortality rates have […]

The accumulation and tangling of tau proteins is a well-known feature of Alzheimer’s disease. Less understood is how different forms of tau are regulated and what happens to that balance as the brain ages and neurodegenerative disease develops. A study from The University of Texas at San Antonio’s Health Science Center published in July […]
