Stanford researchers have developed an ultrafast multi-foci two-photon microscope system that aims at 1 kHz full frame rate with 500x500 ?m2 field of view (FOV). It utilizes a 2D foci-array pattern and 1D scanning mechanism to achieve full FOV excitation coverage.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers have developed MagSweeper, a patented robotic liquid biopsy device that efficiently isolates and purifies live CTCs (circulating tumor cells) from blood while removing 100% of contaminating blood cells.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have engineered a channelrhodopsin variant that can be stimulated by red light and has fast stimulation frequencies. In neurons, channelrhodopsins are light activated protein channels that induce action potential firing.
Stanford researchers have developed a cell line (MFB-F11) that can be used for an easy, sensitive, and specific bioassay to study the biological functions of Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta).
To better understand how the brain processes information and generates behavior, researchers in Dr. Liqun Luo's lab have generated the FosTRAP and ArcTRAP mouse strains.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have created inhibitory channelrhodopsins (ChRs) that allow fast, reversible inhibition of electrical signals in neurons. Optogenetics is a technique used to understand normal and pathological neural circuitry.
Precision in surgical removal of cancer is guided by pathological assessment of resected tissues, and there is a dire need to reduce the time and distance between the critical diagnostic events and the surgical procedure.
Researchers in Dr. Michael Lin's lab have developed a fluorescent voltage sensor for non-invasive optical monitoring of electrical events in living cells in vitro and in vivo.
A team of Stanford researchers have identified a novel small molecule that could be used in vivo or ex vivo to enrich for submandibular salivary gland (SMG) stem cell (SC).
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed specific, inducible animal models for depression that use targeted optogenetic strategies to precisely dissect the neuronal circuits underlying the condition.
Researchers in Prof. Robert Malenka's laboratory have developed a light-activated animal system that could be used to identify compounds that treat certain psychiatric disorders.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed a system to enhance optogenetic pumps using one tool to address current limitations in both inhibition and excitation.
