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.
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.
The self-anchoring indwelling nerve block catheter permits, via percutaneous administration, continuous and/or intermittent infusion of local anesthetics and adjuvant analgesics for peripheral nerve and plexus anesthesia for surgical anesthesia and pain management.
Stanford inventors have developed and fabricated biodegradable and biocompatible polysaccharide hydrogel optical fibers for fiber optic sensing and light transmission in biomedical applications like antigen detection, tracking cellular events, and optogenetics.
The Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford University developed and manufactured a photo-curable, directly patternable, stretchable, and highly conductive polymer that is ideal for bioelectronic applications, and stretchable electronic devices.
Scientists in the Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford developed a process for direct photo-patterning of electronic polymers that improves device density of elastic circuits over 100x.
The Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford University has designed an intrinsically stretchable polymeric matrix that allows seamless integration with physically crosslinked PEDOT:PSS, while stabilizing its high stretchability, and high conductivity after all necessary fabricat
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.
Recent studies have linked microglia damage to various neurodegenerative and aging brain diseases. Relatedly, bone marrow transplantation has been shown to result in incorporation of macrophages into the brain, but the incorporation is variable, slow and inefficient.
A Stanford University physician has developed a device to stimulate regeneration of olfactory nerves using minimally invasive electrical neurostimulation.
