A team of interdisciplinary researchers at Stanford have developed a small, lightweight optical strain sensor device to sensitively measure forces within the mitral valve apparatus to help determine the appropriate repair technique for patients undergoing valvular surgery for
Researchers at Stanford have discovered a powerful new optogenetic actuator- a novel red-shifted opsin. Optogenetics is a technique used to study function and communication between cells.
Heart failure has a prognosis worse than most cancers and affects over five million people in the United States alone. Although some medications for heart failure exist, many patients develop side effects or do not respond favorably to existing medications.
Stanford researchers have proposed a novel, in vivo, real-time epifluorescence imaging method in the second near-infrared region using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Dr. Manish Saggar at Stanford University has developed a new method to visualize and quantify transitions in brain activity, which may be used as a diagnostic tool for mental illness.
Stanford researchers at the Kasevich Lab have prototyped a multi-pass electron microscope that can image nanometer scale samples including electron damage sensitive proteins and other electron dose sensitive nanostructures with low damage.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel and efficient method for generating real-time 3D volumetric computed tomography (CT) images with 2D single or few-view projections, instead of several hundreds of projections as required in existing CT imaging system.
Stanford researchers at the Salisbury Robotics Lab have prototyped a wearable, articulated robotic device with patented four-state brake modules that can be attached to a person at the hip or other location to augment human task productivity.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel, non-tracking and low cost solar concentrator - Axially Graded Index LEns: AGILE - that has potential to change the economy of the solar cell industry.
Stanford researchers have developed a fast, multi-dimensional MRI procedure which records and correlates at least five dimensions of anatomic, physiologic, and functional information applicable for cardiac imaging.
Stanford researchers have developed an algorithm to achieve uniform excitation and image uniformity in the presence of a non-uniform transmit field while limiting local power deposition or "hot spots" using multiple transmit channels and the methid of "parallel transmit" or p
The Rai1-Tag knock-in allele expresses a FLAG/myc-tagged RAI1 (Rai1-Tag) before Cre recombinase exposure. Cre-mediated deletion of the floxed FLAG-myc-STOP sequence results in expression of RAI1/EGFP fusion protein (Rai1EGFP).
When examining one or higher dimensional data, researchers frequently aim to identify individual subsets (clusters) of objects within the dataset. With high-dimensional data (>3 dimensions), the data become progressively more sparsly distributed in space.
