Colton Jones, MD, a hematology-oncology fellow in the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine, received the Order of Distinction award in recognition of his growing impact in cancer research and his representation of The Bahamas on the global stage.
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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Health Science Center published in July […]
A new study published in July in Cancer Epidemiology, led by scientists at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Health Science Center and the National Cancer Institute, found that the Upper-South region of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ, which includes San Antonio and Bexar County, had the highest hysterectomy-corrected incidence of endometrial cancer in Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ and the largest increase over time.
Over the past decade, artificial intelligence, AI, has been increasingly used for medical and neuroimaging research. While there have been great advances in detecting dementia with this technology, one of the remaining problems is the ability to apply predictions across multiple populations. To correct this problem, scientists at The University of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ at San […]
