A team of Stanford researchers has identified a group of small molecules that can prevent or reverse T cell exhaustion, thereby increasing the effectiveness of adoptive T cell therapies to fight cancer or chronic infections.
Stanford researchers have developed a next-generation protein sequencing platform capable of identifying all the proteins in a cell at single amino acid resolution.
Stanford researchers have identified that increased oxidative stress is a key molecular signature of fatigue-based conditions including Long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
Liquid biopsies have emerged as a groundbreaking approach in cancer diagnostics, enabling the detection of DNA shed by cancer cells through a simple blood test. However, cancer cells also shed RNA into the blood.
Stanford inventors have developed a method of using human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells to generate three-dimensional neural floorplate organizers that are functionally active and capable of choreographing midline brain development.
Stanford scientists develop a method for assessing patient risk of developing postsurgical neurocognitive complications using a combination of biomarkers. This method will ensure improved interventions and treatment outcomes.
Stanford scientists have developed an innovative microfracture surgery method that significantly enhances cartilage repair. By combining this surgery technique with targeted delivery of specific growth factors (e.g.
Researchers in the Herzenberg laboratory at Stanford University have patented a method to quantify antigens during flow cytometry without the use of calibrators.
The recognition of peptide-MHC (pMHC) complexes by T cells is the cornerstone of cellular immunity, enabling the elimination of infected or tumoral cells. pMHC can thus be leveraged as a detection tool for T cells.
Stanford researchers have developed novel technology that combines AAVMYO, a muscle cell targeting viral vector, with CRISPR base editors to achieve targeted gene repair, showcasing over 70% correction of hereditary mutations in cardiomyocytes.
Researchers at Stanford, led by Prof. Crystal Mackall and Prof. Jennifer R Cochran, have developed a unique approach to cancer treatment by tackling both the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Patients who experience heart attacks often have immediate ischemia and cell death, which causes a decrease in cardiac function, contributing to higher mortality and morbidity.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a computational system to robustly generate quantitative perfusion parametric maps automatically from computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion images.
Stanford BIODESIGN researchers have developed a disease breathalyzer for detecting necrotizing enterocolitis in newborns. Newborn babies face a high risk of blood infections (sepsis) and gastrointestinal inflammation and injury disease (necrotizing enterocolitis 'NEC').
