Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have used optogenetic tools to develop an animal model for cocaine-modulated behavior modification by precisely targeting defined neural circuit elements.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have used optogenetic tools to develop a precise, specific and inexpensive animal model of impaired memory.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have identified a unifying endophenotype for psychosis that could be used to develop antipsychotic treatments.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have used optogenetic tools to develop an animal model for social dysfunction by precisely targeting defined neural circuit elements.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have used optogenetic tools to develop an animal model for anxiety by precisely identifying, creating, resolving, and targeting defined neural circuit elements.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a device capable of delivering ultrasonic neuromodulation to defined areas of the brain while simultaneously recording neuronal activity with cell-type specificity.
A team of Stanford scientists have developed a technique to rapidly convert adult somatic cells directly into functional neuronal cells without the intermediate step of generating iPS cells (induced pluripotent stem cells).
Stanford researchers have proposed a novel, in vivo, real-time epifluorescence imaging method in the second near-infrared region using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Researchers at Stanford have discovered new, chemically distinct opioid receptor ligands that may be used to develop safer opioid therapeutics. Opioids are ligands that bind to the mu, delta, and/or kappa opioid receptors.
Engineers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab have developed highly conductive, stretchable composite hydrogel materials that can be used as soft electrodes that match the mechanical properties of a range of biological tissues.
Researchers at Stanford and their colleagues have developed easily expressed Wnt agonist and antagonists. Wnts are central mediators of development as they influence cell proliferation, differentiation and migration.
Researchers in Prof. Brian Feldman's laboratory have developed a patented drug screen to identify compounds that could potentially treat obesity and metabolic disease by converting cells to calorie-burning brown fat.
Researchers in Prof. Irving Weissman's lab have developed and patented antibodies and methods to prevent the formation of teratomas from human pluripotent stem cells used for regenerative medicine, cell therapy or research.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed an optical imaging and optogenetics two photon laser system that uses a single beam to illuminate many sites in three-dimensions.
