A team of Stanford engineers has identified first-in-class epidermal growth factor (EGF) mutants with enhanced activity. These mutants can stimulate increased EGF receptor activation at 10-fold lower concentrations than wild-type EGF.
Stanford researchers from the Khuri-Yakub group have designed an improved, high spatial resolution ultrasonic neuromodulation device that implements chip waveform instead of continuous wave PIRF.
Stanford inventors have identified a treatment regimen that allows expansion of cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells in vitro.
Stanford inventors have developed a method to create spatially micropatterned vascularized structures that enable in vitro representation of human and animal biology in models such as cells, tissues, organs, and organoids.
Stanford researchers in the Mahajan Lab have created a customizable proteomics platform that can identify protein biomarkers to differentiate among ischemic eye diseases and identify novel therapeutic targets to treat them.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a method using expressed genetic barcodes to enable simultaneous lineage tracing and single cell profiling. Intratumor heterogeneity fosters tumor evolution which is a key contributor to therapeutic failure and the lethality of cancer.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed a portfolio of microbial opsin proteins that can be used for precise and modular photosensitization components that enable optical control of specific cellular processes.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have developed a selective approach to treat anxiety. Anxiety is characterized by several features that are coordinately regulated by diverse neuronal system outputs.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have used optogenetic tools to develop an animal model for cocaine-modulated behavior modification by precisely targeting defined neural circuit elements.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have used optogenetic tools to develop a precise, specific and inexpensive animal model of impaired memory.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have identified a unifying endophenotype for psychosis that could be used to develop antipsychotic treatments.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have used optogenetic tools to develop an animal model for social dysfunction by precisely targeting defined neural circuit elements.
