Stanford researchers have invented a twist-expand mechanical bioreactor that provides an appropriate in vitro microenvironment for induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cardiomyocytes to achieve biomimetic anisotropic alignment and form contractile cardiac tissue
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a novel kidney stone extraction device that can be used during ureteroscopy to simultaneously remove kidney stone fragments and dust without affecting renal pressure.
Stanford researchers have developed a system that addresses a critical challenge in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology: the need for tedious and lengthy recalibration procedures that disrupt daily use.
Stanford researchers at the Steven Chu Lab have developed and patented a method and apparatus to optimize speckle suppression in ultrasound imaging, usable for diagnostic purposes. This method uses Fourier-transform limited pulses for spectral compounding.
Researchers in Dr. Michelle Monje-Deisseroth's lab at Stanford have identified therapeutic targets for drug development to limit the spread of high-grade gliomas (HGGs).
Stanford scientists have developed PVSeg, a tool that automatically segments vascular and perivascular compartments in brain MRI data. This innovative tool can identify non-demented individuals at increased risk of developing dementia and accelerated brain atrophy.
Of the 1.4 million first time mothers giving vaginal birth in the United States, approximately 75% will experience tearing of their vagina or perineum.
Researchers in the Airan Lab have developed a noninvasive method using low intensity transcranial ultrasound to drive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glymphatic and lymphatic flow to clear brain injury waste products from CSF and brain interstitium.
Among the many medical imaging modalities, CT and MRI scans are utilized most often for imaging bone and soft tissue respectively. As such, physicians often require both images to fully diagnose patients and determine treatment plans.
Researchers in the Dionne lab (D-Lab) at Stanford University have designed an on-chip, optical spin processor for classical and quantum information systems.
Stanford researchers at the Ferrara Lab have designed an ultra-fast standing device for breast ultrasound which is more comfortable than current designs and has higher resolution.
Stanford researchers in the Woo Lab have designed an implantable prosthetic for patients with aortic valve dysfunction, particularly for use in valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedures.
