Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation have a complete cleft of the secondary palate and die within 12 hours of birth. Heterozygotes are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.
Stanford researchers at The Lee Lab have discovered a novel epidermal tumor suppressor to treat squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by utilizing existing drug therapies.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a magnetophoretic separation device (MSD) for isolating basophils and other rare cell types from a blood sample. The device applies exponentially increasing magnetic field strength to flowing magnetically tagged cells.
Stanford inventors have developed a rapid fluorogenic assay for screening of lactam resistant bacterial pathogens. ?-lactam antibiotics are considered to be the most successful class of antibiotics for treating bacterial infections.
Stanford researchers have designed hydrogels that can be delivered to surgical sites in a patient's body for controlled and sustained release of bacteriophages to treat or prevent bacterial infections.
Inspired by the "last inch" problem in robotic manipulation, the Kennedy group at Stanford has developed a tactile sensor and calibration method for machine-learning-based robotic manipulation.
Stanford researchers have developed a new transcatheter, minimally invasive neochordal device for repair of mitral regurgitation, which does not require open heart surgery nor cardiopulmonary bypass.
Stanford doctors have developed a retractor that easily and accurately measures orbital compartment pressure without requiring precise orientation to the central cornea.
The potency of cancer immunotherapies for solid tumors are often diminished by inadequate metabolic reprogramming and resulting immune evasion in cancer.
Researchers in the Mackall lab at Stanford have developed an adoptive cell therapy modification that enhances anti-tumor activity by disrupting a specific group of genes.
Researchers in the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory at Stanford University have developed a PET (positron emission tomography) detector and front end readout assembly that can operate in a high field MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) system.
Researchers at Stanford have developed the first known fixed-frequency control method to enable piezoelectric based power converters to avoid spurious mode and operate across a full output power range while maintaining high efficiency.
