UTSW Scientists Identify Brain Circuit That Triggers Rare, Blood Sugar-dependent Epilepsy
A small group of brain cells linked in a circuit is responsible for setting off whole-brain seizures in a rare form of epilepsy affected by blood sugar levels, a study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The finding, published in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new treatments for other metabolic disorders in the brain, the authors said.

Drug Shows Promise in Overcoming Endocrine Therapy Resistance in Breast Cancer
For patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, development of the so-called Y537S mutation signals that their disease has taken an aggressive course and may become resistant to endocrine therapy. Now a preclinical study, led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center, suggests that a class of new drugs already in clinical trials might work especially well in breast cancer patients who have acquired this mutation.
