Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have engineered a novel channelrhodopsin with enhanced expression, faster speed, and improved targeting.
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 identified polymorphisms in SIRPalpha that can be used to predict responsiveness to immunotherapy. Cancer cells can evade elimination by the immune system by expressing the CD47 "don't eat me" signal.
Histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) is an enzyme which acetylates lysine on histone proteins and is intricately involved with regulating gene transcription.
Researchers in the Sunwoo Lab have developed a method to differentiate intra-epithelial innate lymphoid cells type 1 (ieILC1s) from conventional peripheral natural kills cells for immunotherapeutic purposes.
Stanford researchers have developed a portable hybrid frame-event based near eye gaze tracking system that has a superior speed while using a lower data bandwidth. They demonstrated real time results for gaze-tracking.
Radiation therapy is a common option in diseases like breast cancer, but can also cause significant damage to the skin. Permanent scarring and fibrosis can result, with both aesthetic and functional consequences for cancer patients.
Neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) have been characterized by the expansion of the GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat within the non-coding region of the human chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9ORF72) gene.
