Dr. Todd Rosengart, professor and chair of the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, has been named a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. The 2025 NAI Fellowship cohort includes 169 academic and institutional …
Choosing the right shoe is crucial for marathon training. Every foot is different, but key factors make a running shoe adequate for long-distance running. Experts in the Joseph Barnhart Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine discuss …
While the Texas weather refuses to cooperate, we are in soup season! And this year’s BCM Family Holiday Cookbook features five soup recipes submitted by members of the Baylor College of Medicine community, including a caldo de res recipe from Cristina …
The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading to cancer. But when p53 mutates, it can flip from …
O’Malley’s lab discovered and was the first to solve the structure of a functional receptor-coactivator complex on DNA capable of regulating gene transcription in vitro. In addition, he showed that steroid receptor coactivator-2 (SRC-2), which is highly …
With the ‘fall back’ to standard time from daylight saving time over the weekend, many may still be adjusting and lamenting the lack of sunlight in the evening. Yet others (like me), find the darker evenings during standard time cozy and comforting while …
A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of …
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and cancer awareness starts with general breast awareness. Dr. Julie Nangia, medical director of breast oncology at the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, recommends monthly breast self-exams to stay aware …
For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely accepted phenomenon in the adult brain, offering …

About 80% of people have the fungus Candida albicans in their gut. Although most of the time it persists unnoticed for years causing no health problems, C. albicans can turn into a dangerous microbe that causes serious diseases in many organs, including …
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and published in Nature Methods, significantly outperforms …
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded a $500,000 grant to Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University to establish the Center for Humanities-based Health AI Innovation (CHHAIN), a pioneering initiative that will embed humanities …

Among genetically identical ‘agouti viable yellow’ (Avy) mice, some are brown and lean while others are yellow and obese. These differences are due to epigenetics, a system of molecular tags – such as methyl groups – that are added to DNA during …
Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene regulation lack stable structure. Exactly how these disorganized …
