Researchers at Stanford have found that a vaccine, enhanced with adjuvants that imprint an antiviral state on innate immune cells and non-hematopoietic organ cells, could confer lasting nonspecific protection against diverse pathogens.
Different drug delivery agents, including synthetic polymers, virus-based vectors, lipid-based vectors, and extracellular vesicles (EVs), have been explored previously.
Clinician-scientists at Stanford have proposed a WNT formulation that, when used in combination with a first-of-its-kind normothermic perfusion device, reconditions marginal organs and enables their safe transplantation.
Stanford scientists have developed a working model that chemotherapy drugs induce peripheral neuropathy by activating a pathway that favors neuronal degeneration and impairs sensory neuron function.
Stanford researchers have developed a mechanistic guideline for lithium metal battery electrolyte and separator design to mitigate lithium dendrite growth.
Fiber photometry, a measurement technique that aggregates fluorescence signal using a fiber optic, is a highly pervasive approach in the field of systems neuroscience to study in vivo brain tissue dynamics during ecologically relevant behavior.
Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel strategy to perform concurrent fluorescence measurements of multiple biological parameters in freely moving and head-restrained animals.
Researchers at Stanford have found that applying pressure to macroencapsulation can enhance insulin transport from encapsulated islet beta cells to surrounding tissue and assist in glucose metabolism in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients.
Genome editing of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) has the potential to create a new class of medication for the treatment of inherited and acquired genetic diseases of the blood and immune system.
Many applications in cell therapy, synthetic biology, and gene therapy require extensive cell engineering, often with multiple vectors due to limitations in packaging capacity.
Stanford researchers have identified an appropriate method and dosage for radiotherapy-based noninvasive lung volume reduction to treat severe emphysema.
Stanford researchers have developed a method for manufacturing high quality multifunctional soft electronic fibers based on conventional microfabrication techniques.
