Researchers at Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University have identified an antibody that is negatively associated with cancer in patients diagnosed with dermatomyositis.
Differential Phase Contrast (DPC) X-ray imaging measures both absorption and index of refraction of materials being imaged. This technique has several advantages compared to traditional absorption-only X-ray imaging.
Stanford inventors have developed a mechanical differential that is cable-actuated for controlling a 2 degree-of-freedom (DoF) of mobility in a robotic joint.
Pedestrian movement prediction is a critical aspect of driver-assistance and autonomous cars. This requires predicting both human poses and human trajectories based on keypoints in an egocentric setting.
The self-anchoring indwelling nerve block catheter permits, via percutaneous administration, continuous and/or intermittent infusion of local anesthetics and adjuvant analgesics for peripheral nerve and plexus anesthesia for surgical anesthesia and pain management.
One of the largest challenges for soft robotics is obtaining adequate feedback control while forming dexterous movements. Here Stanford researchers have developed a patterning technique using a UV laser on metalized plastic film.
Engineered viruses have great potential as cancer treatments. However, the only currently approved viral therapy, T-vec (Talimogene laherparepvec), suffers from off-target effects that limit its use to intratumoral injection.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a rapid and efficient method for high-throughput genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9. The CRISPR/Cas9 system allows researchers to edit any site in an organism's genome.
Stanford inventors have developed technologies for improved islet transplantation using a bioscaffold platform that maintains islet health during and after their transplantation.
