Stanford researchers in the Mark Davis Lab have developed a human cell culture system to grow 3D immune organoids within hydrogel structures using limited cellular input that can be adapted to large screening assays for flexible downstream immunological readouts.
Researchers at Stanford have created human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) derived from adult human dermal fibroblasts exposed to an environmental factor.
Obtaining pure cell types from mixed cell populations continues to be a significant obstacle in the fields of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.
Stanford University researchers have developed aptamer-antibody chimeras that achieve dynamic, sensitive, and specific biomolecule sensing beyond the capacity of antibodies or aptamers alone.
Researchers in The Optical Communications Group at Stanford have developed an efficient, integrated multimode optical amplifier for scalable, spatially multiplexed long-haul optical fiber transmission.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel technique, enabling specific labeling and purification of regenerating and non-regenerating retinal ganglion cells from the same animals with the same genetic background/modification/injuries.
Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are essential for hearing as they transmit electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain. Loss of SGNs causes permanent hearing loss because SGNs do not spontaneously regenerate in humans.
Stanford researchers have developed aldehyde-containing hydrogels that release bacteriophage, with or without antibiotics, over a controlled and sustained manner to treat infections including orthopedic joint infections, wound infections, ear infections (chronic suppurative ot
Stanford researchers have developed a method for targeted focused ultrasound application to peripheral nerves to suppress acute pain. This invention can non-invasively concentrate ultrasound waves onto peripheral nerves without impacting surrounding tissue.
Stanford inventors have created an audio-visual system with a radiotransparent screen provides a means for communication and visual distractions during procedures such as radiation therapy and radiation imaging.
Cell culture is a central technique used for a plethora of research applications including in the modeling of complex diseases, creating transgenic animals, gene therapy, cell therapy, regenerating lost tissue, and organ biogenesis.
Stanford researchers in the Konstantina Stankovic Lab have developed a panel of blood biomarkers for vestibular schwannoma diagnosis and hearing loss monitoring associated with this intracranial tumor.
