Antimicrobial peptoids are promising leads for novel antibiotics; however, their activity is often compromised under physiological conditions. Inventors at Stanford enhanced the efficacy of antimicrobial peptoids by using thiourea and thiourea derivatives.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a gene expression-based method for determining a virally infected patient's risk of developing severe symptoms, irrespective of the virus.
Stanford researchers in the Woo Lab have developed a novel device that allows for direct visual assessment of the aortic valve apparatus under physiologic pressure in aortic valve procedures.
Researchers at Stanford have reported the first high energy density shape memory polymer based on the formation of strain-induced supramolecular nanostructures, which immobilize stretched chains to store entropic energy.
Stanford inventors have developed the CasKAS method for profiling CRISPR off-targets using single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) mapping. Binding of CRISPR protein to DNA generates ssDNA structures, which can be a sensitive biochemical signal of CRISPR occupancy.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have developed a method for improving the productivity of biosynthetic processes via enzymatic detoxification of aberrant forms of NAD(P)H.
Stanford inventors have developed a cell-free method for carbon-negative biosynthetic production of commodity biochemicals by using hydrogen gas as a source of reducing equivalents.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have proposed a method to synthesize metabolic cofactors from inexpensive substrates for protein synthesis and commodity production applications.
Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have developed a monolithically 3D printed haptic device that provides skin pressure, linear and rotational shear, and vibration feedback.
Stanford inventors have developed a method for collagen compression along with a polymer mesh as a mechanical support to produce collagen-based composite grafts.
Researchers at Stanford University, UCSB and MIT have invented a novel video compression pipeline, called Txt2Vid, which substantially reduces data transmission rates by compressing webcam videos ("talking-head videos") to a text transcript.
