Stanford scientists have invented a method that can determine the gestational age of a fetus by testing the mother's urine using metabolomics profiling and machine learning.
Stanford researchers have developed high-titer bacteriophage and annexin V formulations for rapid, more effective phage therapy against bacterial infection.
Researchers at Stanford and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub have developed a transcriptomic characterization of human endometrium and identified specific gene signatures for use in evaluating endometrial samples for one or more menstrual cycle events.
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a rare ocular condition that can lead to vision loss or blindness and is a complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, severe diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a method to induce antigen-specific immunological tolerance to allow for more effective gene replacement therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Low doses of agents that activate BMP signaling (such as FK506) could be used to prevent the progression of bladder cancer and potentially treat breast, colon and other types of epithelial-derived cancer. This technology is based on the discovery by Prof.
Stanford researchers in the Vuckovic group have developed an optical phased array (OPA) for solid-state beam-steering in optical systems such as LIDAR, projectors, and microscopy.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an ultracompact, high-quality-factor (high-Q) metasurface that enables more convenient phase contrast imaging. Phase contrast imaging is a critical technique in biology and medicine to image essentially transparent objects such as cells.
Recent studies have linked microglia damage to various neurodegenerative and aging brain diseases. Relatedly, bone marrow transplantation has been shown to result in incorporation of macrophages into the brain, but the incorporation is variable, slow and inefficient.
This invention facilitates the realization of optical elements with spatially multiplexed/interleaved phase profiles to achieve a high packing density of distinct optical elements on a surface.
