Research could lead to treatments for obesity, extreme weight loss
Mysterious cells that secrete hormones in the large intestine play a key role in regulating body weight through their relationship with intestinal bacteria, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, could lead to new treatments for obesity and extreme weight loss.

Tumor loss-of-function mutations in STK11/LKB1 induce cachexia
Cancer cachexia (CC), a wasting syndrome of muscle and adipose tissue resulting in weight loss, is observed in 50% of patients with solid tumors. Management of CC is limited by the absence of biomarkers and knowledge of molecules that drive its phenotype.

UT Southwestern: A global leader in robotic pancreas surgery
Traditionally performed through a large incision, at UT Southwestern our pancreatic cancer surgeons have specialized in robotic-assisted Whipple surgery, a more precise approach through smaller incisions that has been proven to benefit patients with faster recovery times, less pain, less use of pain medication, and prompter return to work. It has also been shown to have comparable cancer treatment results with lower rates of complications and transfusions than the open surgery.
