Type 1 regulatory T cells (Tr1s) are an inducible subtype of regulatory T cells that can play a beneficial (autoimmune diseases, allergy, hematological malignancies) or detrimental role (some solid tumors and infectious diseases) in human diseases. Tr1 cells.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a novel deep-learning-based tool called CytoTRACE2 that interprets single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to enable the discovery of regenerative cells across all tissue types and novel targets in cancer and other diseases.
Stem cells are generally influenced by a microenvironmental niche, typically comprised of epithelial and mesenchymal cells and extracellular substrates. Many attempts have been made to produce culture systems that mimic normal intestinal epithelial growth and differentiation.
Patients with celiac disease have a pathological reaction to gluten and have either HLA-DQ2+ (90%) or HLA-DQ8+, but expression of these MHC class II haplotypes is not sufficient and other factors are necessary for the development of celiac sprue.
Brief Description: Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel fiber-optic technology to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and immunity to motion artifacts that can be used in freely moving animals.
Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel strategy to perform concurrent fluorescence measurements of multiple biological parameters in freely moving and head-restrained animals.
A new deep-learning system called Atomic Rotationally Equivariant Scorer (ARES) significantly improves the prediction of RNA structures over previous artificial intelligence (AI) models.
Pharmacologic agents are commonly used to treat psychiatric diseases. These compounds, however, react differently across patients, are often followed by negative side effects and can have varied efficacy timeframes.
Stanford researchers have developed a next-generation protein sequencing platform capable of identifying all the proteins in a cell at single amino acid resolution.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a method which integrates cell barcoding and high-throughput sequencing to quantify tumor growth in genetically engineered mouse models of human cancer (called 'Tuba-seq” for Tumor barcoding coupled with seq
Creating human brain progenitors and neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offers vast possibilities to study, model and treat neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, which are among the most intractable diseases that afflict our society.
Stanford researchers in the Mark Davis Lab have developed a human cell culture system to grow 3D immune organoids within hydrogel structures using limited cellular input that can be adapted to large screening assays for flexible downstream immunological readouts.
Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are essential for hearing as they transmit electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain. Loss of SGNs causes permanent hearing loss because SGNs do not spontaneously regenerate in humans.
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 researchers have created a technology using CyTOF (Cytometry by Time Of Flight mass spectrometry) and CODEX (CO-Detection by indEXing) imaging to systematically analyze cell therapies produced ex vivo and their effects in vivo.
