Stanford researchers have applied large-scale proteomic platforms to identify biomarkers that can be used to diagnose uveal melanoma and subtype eye tumors according to their gene expression profile (GEP) class or PRAME status.
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).
Acute and end stage renal disease affects patients across all ages. Pediatric patients are usually treated with hemodialysis, which requires them to be surgically implanted with a central venous catheter (CVC) for dialysis access.
A team of researchers at Stanford have developed a hydrogel that delivers a scar-reducing focal adhesion kinase inhibitor (FAK-I) to skin grafts and donor sites.
Use of diamond in high power and high temperature electronics is ideal due to its inherent properties, notably an ultra-high critical electric field of 10 MW/cm. Electronic devices require p-n junctions to achieve these electric fields, and thus n-doped diamond is required.
Researchers in the laboratories of Prof. Stanley Cohen and Prof Tzu-Hao Cheng have discovered that Supt4h is a potential therapeutic target for reducing toxicity and restoring the functionality of deleterious proteins in Huntington's (HD) and other polyQ diseases.
Dr. Stanley Cohen and colleagues have identified small molecular compounds that may be useful in the treatment of nucleotide repeat diseases. A well-known nucleotide repeat disorder is Huntington's disease.
Stanford researchers in the Fan Lab have developed a photonic device optimizer that generates designs with hard geometric constraints to guarantee device fabricability.
Collagen-based hydrogels behave similarly to the native tissue microenvironment, thus are widely used as scaffolds for encapsulating cells or molecules like growth factors. Collagen solution is an injectable liquid until it crosslinks at 37 C and physiological pH.
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.
Tracking in vivo cell distribution, migration, and engraftment using conventional techniques including MRI, PET/CT and conventional optical imaging is often hindered by low resolution, radioactive risks, and limited tissue penetration depth.
Stanford researchers have developed a technique to interpret contact events between a human and a device equipped with a force sensor. It can detect and classify distinct touch interactions such as tap, touch, grab, and slip.
