Stem cells are generally influenced by a microenvironmental niche, typically comprised of epithelial and mesenchymal cells and extracellular substrates. Many attempts have been made to produce culture systems that mimic normal intestinal epithelial growth and differentiation.
Patients with celiac disease have a pathological reaction to gluten and have either HLA-DQ2+ (90%) or HLA-DQ8+, but expression of these MHC class II haplotypes is not sufficient and other factors are necessary for the development of celiac sprue.
Researchers at Stanford have found that a vaccine, enhanced with adjuvants that imprint an antiviral state on innate immune cells and non-hematopoietic organ cells, could confer lasting nonspecific protection against diverse pathogens.
Researchers in Stanford University's EXtreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory (XLab) working in collaboration with the University of Arkansas' Mixed-Signal Computer-Aided Design (MSCAD) Laboratory developed a Hall-effect sensor design that detects ultra fast changes in the
Different drug delivery agents, including synthetic polymers, virus-based vectors, lipid-based vectors, and extracellular vesicles (EVs), have been explored previously.
Stanford scientists have developed a working model that chemotherapy drugs induce peripheral neuropathy by activating a pathway that favors neuronal degeneration and impairs sensory neuron function.
Stanford researchers have invented an efficient rotary actuator that recycles elastic energy by engaging and disengaging springs using concentric electroadhesive clutches.
Clinician-scientists at Stanford have proposed a WNT formulation that, when used in combination with a first-of-its-kind normothermic perfusion device, reconditions marginal organs and enables their safe transplantation.
Stanford researchers have developed a mechanistic guideline for lithium metal battery electrolyte and separator design to mitigate lithium dendrite growth.
Brief Description: Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel fiber-optic technology to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and immunity to motion artifacts that can be used in freely moving animals.
Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel strategy to perform concurrent fluorescence measurements of multiple biological parameters in freely moving and head-restrained animals.
Stanford scientists have discovered multiple functionally biased ligands that can selectively activate distinct subsets of signaling pathways downstream of the complement 5a receptor.
Researchers at Stanford have found that applying pressure to macroencapsulation can enhance insulin transport from encapsulated islet beta cells to surrounding tissue and assist in glucose metabolism in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients.
