Study identifies protein regulator of tau linked to Alzheimer’s disease

October 19, 2026

  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 The University of Texas at San Antonio’s Health Science Center published in July […]

UT San Antonio study finds endometrial cancer rates highest in San Antonio region

October 14, 2026

A new study published in July in Cancer Epidemiology, led by scientists at The University of Texas at San Antonio Health Science Center and the National Cancer Institute, found that the Upper-South region of Texas, which includes San Antonio and Bexar County, had the highest hysterectomy-corrected incidence of endometrial cancer in Texas and the largest increase over time.

While several types of cancer are declining across the United States, endometrial cancer is on the rise, especially in South Texas.

UT San Antonio researchers develop model to improve machine-learning predictions

October 12, 2026

  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 Texas at San […]
