Although organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) made from organic semiconductors are valued for their transparency, flexibility and low cost attributes, their sluggish response time due to slow carrier mobility limits their applications.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have engineered a channelrhodopsin variant that can be stimulated by red light and has fast stimulation frequencies. In neurons, channelrhodopsins are light activated protein channels that induce action potential firing.
Circulating levels of Neuromedin U (NMU) peptide are correlated with insulin resistance and obesity and dynamically regulated to suppress insulin secretion.
Stanford researchers have developed an R-spondin1-producing cell line. The cell line is a transfectant of 293T cells expressing mouse R-spondin1 protein tagged with N-terminus HA and C-terminus Fc.
Time-resolved phase contrast MRI (4D flow) can quantify cardiac function and flow. The technique may even permit complex anatomical assessment, thus comprising a comprehensive exam in a single scan. Unfortunately, artifacts from respiratory motion compromise this ability.
Stanford researchers have developed a cell line (MFB-F11) that can be used for an easy, sensitive, and specific bioassay to study the biological functions of Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta).
This portfolio of inventions provides the tools for an advanced navigational system and panoramic virtual tours – technology that is incorporated in Google Street View.
An optical device, a method of configuring an optical device, and a method of using a fiber Bragg grating is provided. The optical device includes a fiber Bragg grating, a narrowband optical source, and at least one optical detector.
Stanford researchers have created a device with defined parallel-oriented fibrillar nanostructure that can control endothelial cell alignment along the direction of the fibrillar nanostructure.
To better understand how the brain processes information and generates behavior, researchers in Dr. Liqun Luo's lab have generated the FosTRAP and ArcTRAP mouse strains.
A team of Stanford researchers have identified a skeletal stem cell (SSC) along with the protein factors needed to direct differentiation toward bone, cartilage or bone marrow stroma.
Researchers in Prof. Hanlee Ji's laboratory have developed an automated method to capture and directly sequence target DNA with next-generation sequencing.
Researchers in Dr. Shoshana Levy's lab have created a pro B cell lines that provides the first B cell lineage tumors in a C57BL mouse strain. The cell lines, known as H11 and 2F3, were made by transducing mouse bone marrow with BCR-ABL retrovirus.
