Researchers at Stanford have created human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) derived from adult human dermal fibroblasts exposed to an environmental factor.
Obtaining pure cell types from mixed cell populations continues to be a significant obstacle in the fields of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.
Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are essential for hearing as they transmit electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain. Loss of SGNs causes permanent hearing loss because SGNs do not spontaneously regenerate in humans.
Cell culture is a central technique used for a plethora of research applications including in the modeling of complex diseases, creating transgenic animals, gene therapy, cell therapy, regenerating lost tissue, and organ biogenesis.
Stanford researchers have developed novel viral markers from tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV). The marker is a good indicator of 1) environmental fecal contamination, 2) fecal load in wastewater, and 3) internal control for viral RNA extraction from stool.
Stanford researchers are changing the way we approach neuropsychiatric care; they've delved into the complex world of brain signals and developed an analysis that distinguishes cravings from basic needs like hunger and sleep, offering a whole new way to fine-tune treatments fo
Stanford researchers in the Khosla lab have invented a new class of "molecular glues" that couple the enzymatic activity of a cell-surface enzyme, transglutaminase 2 (TG2), with the ability of the LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) to promote receptor-mediated endocytosis
Researchers at Stanford have created ligand-induced dimerization activating RNA editing (LIDAR), a versatile molecular sensor that turns the presence of a ligand into translation of an output protein.
Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
