Researchers at Stanford have developed a combination therapy to treat neuroblastoma, the most common and deadly solid tumor in childhood. Neuroblastoma derives from neural crest cells that fail to exit the cell cycle and differentiate.
Researchers in Prof. Christina Smolke's laboratory have engineered a conditional protein expression platform that enables complex regulatory programming in higher organisms through control of alternative splicing.
Stanford inventors from Professor Rhiju Das's lab have developed a method to optimize nucleic acids, including aptamers and messenger RNAs to be more effective in clinical settings.
Stanford researchers have discovered a fast, discriminative method for inferring local ancestry and correcting phase errors. This local ancestry inference method is both faster and more accurate than the previous state-of-the-art.
Stanford researchers in the Dai Lab have developed the first ultra-bright cubic-phase erbium-based rare-earth nanoparticles (α-ErNPs) with down-shifting luminescence at ~ 1600 nm for in vivo NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) imaging with deep penetration and high clarity.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods and reagents to improve and expand the capabilities of tyramide signal amplification (TSA) for simultaneous detection of low abundance biomolecules.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a targeted delivery system using carbon nanotubes to specifically deliver cardiovascular drugs to treat atherosclerosis. A feature of atherosclerotic plaque is the accumulation of apoptotic cells.
Stanford researchers at the Camarillo Lab have designed a real-time screening device system for predicting risk of concussion resulting from head impacts.
Engineers at the Khuri-Yakub Group have designed a non-surgical alternative for treating epilepsy using ultrasonic technology which can detect, localize, and suppress epileptic seizures in epileptic patients.
Stanford researchers have developed an optical coating that steers infrared and visual light in different paths while suppressing the typical undesired rainbow effect.
