Polycythemia vera is a rare blood cancer characterized by the hyperproliferation of red blood cells, leading to coagulation events like strokes and heart attacks.
Researchers at Stanford have developed gene editing methods for modifying hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to express truncated forms of the erythropoietin receptor (tEPOR).
Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have developed a monolithically 3D printed haptic device that provides skin pressure, linear and rotational shear, and vibration feedback.
Ultrasound technology is a safe, high-resolution, and cost-efficient tool for imaging. Other modalities, such as MRI or CT, may require the use of anesthesia. This makes it difficult to image pediatric patients and patients sensitive to anesthesia.
Researchers at Stanford have established the safety and penetrance of the dopaminergic prodrug etilevodopa to prevent the progression of myopia ("nearsightedness"). In the past 50 years, myopia prevalence in the U.S.
This highly instrumented laryngoscope measures intubation mechanics such as force and torque to quantitatively track how a laryngoscope is being inserted.
Stanford inventors have developed a method for collagen compression along with a polymer mesh as a mechanical support to produce collagen-based composite grafts.
Stanford inventors have engineered a method for breath-based cancer detection, which can provide rapid and non-invasive early cancer detection and surveillance.
Researchers at Stanford University, UCSB and MIT have invented a novel video compression pipeline, called Txt2Vid, which substantially reduces data transmission rates by compressing webcam videos ("talking-head videos") to a text transcript.
Inventors at Stanford University have developed a colorimetric device to visualize microstructural features in tissue biopsies towards clinical diagnostics.
