Mature pancreatic islets are the gold standard for transplantation-based approaches for islet replacement in type 1 and type 3c diabetes mellitus (T1D and T3cD), but this feature is offset by the scarcity of human cadaveric pancreas donors.
Immune checkpoint blockade, a class of immunotherapy treatment which works by blocking inhibitory receptors on T cells to improve immune responses, has proven to be a remarkable clinical advance in the treatment of many diseases, particularly in cancer.
Researchers at Stanford have created ligand-induced dimerization activating RNA editing (LIDAR), a versatile molecular sensor that turns the presence of a ligand into translation of an output protein.
Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
Stanford inventors have devised a method of multiplexing droplet reactions to analyze and identify many reactions in parallel on a single microfluidic chip using off-the-shelf flow control and valving.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a novel method for the first time to generate cardiac pericytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells that closely resemble primary cells.
Stanford scientist has developed a computational method that extracts quantitative imaging features that reproducibly describe lesion phenotypes associated with treatment response and clinical outcomes in cancer.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have patented a revolutionary technique that can be utilized to map neural circuits in the whole brain.
Researchers at Stanford have expanded the CRISPR method to enable programmable, targeted control of spatial genomic DNA organization in the nucleus and allow for regulated gene expression over a long distance.
