Stanford inventors have developed a functionally-graded implant device for the reconstitution of the necrotic area removed after surgical treatment of osteonecrosis of the hip.
Stanford researchers designed and built a light sheet microscope that can be used for deconvolution-free, high resolution volumetric imaging of cleared tissue specimens.
Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells often underperform due to high overpotentials caused by sluggish kinetics. Specifically, the Pt-catalyzed oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode renders the energy efficiency well below the thermodynamic limit.
Researchers in the Nakauchi lab at Stanford University have shown that the contribution of human donor cells to tissues and organs can be increased in an interspecies host embryo by knocking out insulin growth factor 1 receptor (Igf1r).
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling autoimmune disease whereby autoactivated T and B cells attack and destroy protective myelin sheaths of the central nervous system(CNS).
Stanford researchers have developed a novel technique to control proton beams for radiation therapy to deliver a very high, full dose across a tumor in less than one second.
Stanford researchers at the Okamura Lab have prototyped a computerized "pillow" that fits in the hand and uses air pressure to measure involuntary grip force (spastic hypertonia).
Ion channel dysfunctions lead to a wide array of illnesses including epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmia and type II diabetes. However, the number of clinically approved drugs for restoring normal ion channel function is limited.
Stanford researchers have proposed the use of a conductive graphene scaffold (CGS) as a biocompatible scaffold for growth of neural tissues. The high conductivity enables the use of electrical stimulation to control the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
Stanford researchers have developed a new machine learning method for extracting gait parameters, such as cadence, step length, peak knee flexion, and Gait Deviation Index (GDI), from a single video.
Stanford researchers have developed two related inventions which advance the state-of-the-art of CMUT's (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers).
Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have patented a haptic device that simulates a stroking sensation.
Researchers in Dr. Anton Wyss-Coray's lab have identified a new therapeutic avenue for treatment of age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Cerebrovascular changes and inflammation are key features of brain aging and neurodegeneration.
