Researchers at Stanford University have formulated a novel biomaterial suitable for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting: a homogeneous composite of polycaprolactone (PCL), gelatin, and beta-tricalcium phosphate.
Creating human brain progenitors and neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offers vast possibilities to study, model and treat neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, which are among the most intractable diseases that afflict our society.
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 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.
Stanford University researchers have developed aptamer-antibody chimeras that achieve dynamic, sensitive, and specific biomolecule sensing beyond the capacity of antibodies or aptamers alone.
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 Medicine researchers in the Mark Skylar-Scott Lab have developed "STIR" (Syringe Tumbler for Ink Resuspension), an in-syringe bioink cell mixing system with near-zero dead volume that virtually eliminates cell settling without impacting the usable amount of bio
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 have developed novel viral markers from tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV). The marker is a good indicator of 1) environmental fecal contamination, 2) fecal load in wastewater, and 3) internal control for viral RNA extraction from stool.
Stanford researchers are changing the way we approach neuropsychiatric care; they've delved into the complex world of brain signals and developed an analysis that distinguishes cravings from basic needs like hunger and sleep, offering a whole new way to fine-tune treatments fo
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a scalable, single-cell barcoding system and method for genomic editing and tracking using cas12a-based compressive molecular probes.
Stanford researchers in the Khosla lab have invented a new class of "molecular glues" that couple the enzymatic activity of a cell-surface enzyme, transglutaminase 2 (TG2), with the ability of the LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) to promote receptor-mediated endocytosis
