Stanford inventors have discovered that applying a hydrogel containing an inhibitor of mechanotransduction pathways on top of a skin graft reduces scarring and promotes healing after repair of traumatic injuries like severe burn wounds.
A common hurdle for many drug delivery applications is getting the desired compounds to the targeted cells or receptors. Additional barriers of achieving the therapeutic drug concentration and necessary drug diffusion are also present even after successful targeted delivery.
Stanford scientists have invented a method that can determine the gestational age of a fetus by testing the mother's urine using metabolomics profiling and machine learning.
Stanford researchers have developed high-titer bacteriophage and annexin V formulations for rapid, more effective phage therapy against bacterial infection.
Researchers at Stanford and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub have developed a transcriptomic characterization of human endometrium and identified specific gene signatures for use in evaluating endometrial samples for one or more menstrual cycle events.
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a rare ocular condition that can lead to vision loss or blindness and is a complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, severe diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a method to induce antigen-specific immunological tolerance to allow for more effective gene replacement therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Low doses of agents that activate BMP signaling (such as FK506) could be used to prevent the progression of bladder cancer and potentially treat breast, colon and other types of epithelial-derived cancer. This technology is based on the discovery by Prof.
Stanford researchers in the Vuckovic group have developed an optical phased array (OPA) for solid-state beam-steering in optical systems such as LIDAR, projectors, and microscopy.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an ultracompact, high-quality-factor (high-Q) metasurface that enables more convenient phase contrast imaging. Phase contrast imaging is a critical technique in biology and medicine to image essentially transparent objects such as cells.
