Ultrasound complements mammography as an imaging modality for breast cancer detection, especially in patients with dense breast tissue, but its utility is limited by low diagnostic accuracy.
Stanford researchers have identified that increased oxidative stress is a key molecular signature of fatigue-based conditions including Long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
The limited duration of humoral responses to vaccination is a key issue in the fight against infectious diseases, as antibody levels wane over time, leaving individuals vulnerable to reinfection.
Researchers at Stanford have developed force sensors that can operate on very small physical scales without the need for an external connection or power supply.
Researchers at Stanford University have discovered that donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies can be used to detect and treat graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in transplant recipients after allogenic transplantation.
Stanford researchers have developed an innovative method for efficiently generating robust lymphatic endothelial cells (iLECs) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) through transcription factor-based protocols.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have created inhibitory channelrhodopsins (ChRs) that allow fast, reversible inhibition of electrical signals in neurons. Optogenetics is a technique used to understand normal and pathological neural circuitry.
Stanford researchers have developed a portable sensor device for rapid detection of heavy metal ions using a sulfidation process and concentrator for increased visual detection.
Stanford researchers at the Camarillo Lab have developed a neural-network based model that can provide real-time calculation of brain strain based on instrumented mouthguard kinematics signals.
Stanford inventors have engineered a method for breath-based cancer detection, which can provide rapid and non-invasive early cancer detection and surveillance.
Metagenomic sequencing offers a powerful approach for the comprehensive monitoring and detection of pathogenic bacteria in food, clinical samples, and the environment.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a multilayered immiscible polymer system capable of autonomously realigning its layers to enhance the healing process after damage.
