Improving the Human Condition
Spurred by scientific curiosity and exploration, life expectancy in the United States has increased dramatically in the last century. UT Arlington is doing its part to continue the trend by tackling this generation’s most pressing health issues: adult stem cell creation, bone deterioration, frailty, diabetes, and more.
With age comes strength
Kinesiologist Christopher Ray and geriatric nurse practitioner Kathryn Daniel are convinced that frailty is not inevitable with aging.
Boning up on circulation
Everyone knows the foot bone's connected to the ankle bone, and the ankle bone's connected to the shinbone. And so on. Rhonda Prisby knows that blood vessels are connected to bones, too.
Calculated risks
When it comes to dangerous behavior, the elderly and adolescents have much in common. Mary Cazzell, the first graduate of the College of Nursing's B.S.N. to Ph.D. program in 2009, discovered this while studying adolescent risk taking for her dissertation.
Q&A: Boosting genetic horsepower
The ability to sequence genomes holds clues to improving human health. UT Arlington has a new tool—a state-of-the-art Roche GS FLX 454 sequencer—that research associate Raymond Jones says will significantly increase sequencing capacity.
