The blood-brain barrier is a huge challenge when it comes to the delivery of therapeutic proteins to treat genetic diseases, injury, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson and colleagues have developed a personalized non-verbal communication device and associated app for post-stroke expressive aphasia patients.
Using advances in flexible electronics, researchers at Stanford have developed a stretchable strain sensor for monitoring solid tumor size progression on or near the skin in real time.
Stanford inventors have developed a near infrared (NIR) tumor imaging platform that couples a novel rare earth cancer targeting agent and a handheld NIR-IIb fluorescence imager to enable tumor resection down to the few-cell level.
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.
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.
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 developed a method of using CRISPR/Cas9 or similar gene editing technologies to genetically edit an individual's own myeloid cells for specific gene targets, which are critical to wound repair, and applying these edited cells in a hydrogel to promote ra
Researchers in Prof. David Myung's laboratory have developed a bio-compatible, crosslinking gel that can be used for in situ repair of damaged cornea or as a three-dimensional scaffold for keratocyte-keratinocyte tissue culture.
Stanford researchers have designed and prototyped an inexpensive, compact and easy-to-use smartphone lens mount for the capture of high quality photographs and videos of the eye's front and back structures.
