Radiation therapy is a common option in diseases like breast cancer, but can also cause significant damage to the skin. Permanent scarring and fibrosis can result, with both aesthetic and functional consequences for cancer patients.
Researchers in the Cui lab have designed a polymer-polymer solid-state electrolyte for lithium batteries that is fireproof, lightweight, and mechanically robust.
Researchers at Stanford University, Technical University of Denmark, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology have developed a software suite that can predict long-term performance of reinforced concrete based on multiple, fundamental, physics phenomenon like humidit
Stanford researchers have targeted Wnt11 to reduce capsular fibrosis around implants. Fibrosis commonly occurs following surgical implantation of devices resulting in pain, discomfort, and implant damage.
Stanford researchers have integrated concrete durability modeling software into building information models (BIM) for better management, repair, and assessment of structural elements like roads, bridges, dams, buildings, etc.
Neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) have been characterized by the expansion of the GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat within the non-coding region of the human chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9ORF72) gene.
Stanford researchers have developed a method to make thin films of metallic glass with high strength, elastic limit, and corrosion resistance. These films are composed of metallic glass nanoparticles with high ductility.
Stanford researchers have designed a trainable portable device that can rapidly quantify liver steatosis (fat) prior to transplantation without a pathologist. Currently, rapid assessments are hindered by waiting for an available pathologist to provide results.
Stanford researchers have developed a crowdsourced framework for real-time robotic teleoperation with six degrees of freedom. Through smartphone controllers, RoboTurk enables large human workforces to remotely operate the robots without the need for prior training.
Researchers at Stanford have developed, for the first time, a high-throughput method to systematically detect and identify silencer elements in the human genome.
Stanford researchers at the Bao Research Group have patented a body area sensor network (bodyNET) that can be used to monitor human physiological signals for next-generation personalized healthcare.
These dual-function nanoparticles improve selectivity of myeloid treatment via identification and reduction of tumor progression in a two-step process: initial accumulation in tumor microenvironments, followed by targeted delivery of a therapeutic payload.
Stanford researchers have developed a compact, low-cost complete sensor solution (sensor plus reader) which can interpret fully-passive sensors through a simple handheld external reader. The readout mechanism can take measurements independent of the readout distance (i.e.
Stanford researchers have developed one of the smallest, active translational enhancers that can be adapted to control gene regulation. The translation enhancer is a short RNA stem-loop structure isolated from a Hox gene.
