New research from UTSW's Dr. Peter Ly shows that damaged DNA from one cell can transfer to another and change how it behaves. @ScienceNews spoke to Dr. Ly about the discovery here: tinyurl.com/rku5hn6x

Today’s clinical research is shaping tomorrow’s care. During #UTSW's annual Future Leaders in Clinical Research Symposium, emerging researchers shared work advancing cancer care, heart health, maternal care, addiction treatment, and more. bit.ly/4wHzIpG #FutureLeaders

Excited to share our latest paper, out today @CellCellPress. We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. (1/7) cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

In 2026, UT Southwestern became home to the North Texas Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, following a five-year, multimillion-dollar award from @NIHAging in partnership with @UT_Dallas and @UTArlington. Learn more: bit.ly/43AO6Ej

Two new studies led by #UTSW researcher Maria Chahrour, Ph.D., help explain how the genes KDM5A and UBE3B may contribute to autism spectrum disorder — work that could support better genetic tests and future therapies. bit.ly/3PkU0og #Neuroscience #AutismResearch

Nurses Week is in full swing 💙 Thirteen of our nurses were named to the DFW Great 100 Nurses list, recognizing excellence in care, leadership, and service across North Texas. See how the honorees are making an impact. bit.ly/4wgCGkN #UTSWNurses #NursesWeek

What drives @MariaChahrour? Understanding the “why” behind neurodevelopmental conditions like autism. Her lab studies genes and brain development to advance understanding and inform more personalized approaches to care. Learn more: bit.ly/4rJmYeu #UTSWMeetTheMinds

What do humans and songbirds have in common? Todd Roberts, Ph.D., and his lab examine zebra finch speech patterns, which could lead to insights on how human language is learned. bit.ly/43AO6Ej
