Researchers at Stanford have developed a novel therapeutic approach for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is characterized by left ventricular enlargement and reduced systolic function.
Researchers in Dr. Holden Maecker's lab have developed platinum-labeled probes to expand the analytical capacity of mass cytometry instruments. Currently, analytical capacity is limited by the ability to label specific probes with appropriate metal ions.
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).
Researchers in Dr. Cutkosky's laboratory have developed a gripper device that allows industrial robots to handle very soft or delicate objects. Effective handling of delicate objects remains a challenging problem in manufacturing.
Stanford researchers have made an electrochemical redox refrigeration device that provides high cooling power densities without the environmental liabilities of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants.
This invention is from the Pritzker Neuropsychiatric Disorders Research Consortium, a collaborative research enterprise comprised of several leading academic institutions and based on a long-term relationship between the Pritzker family and scientists at the various institutio
Stanford researchers have built a sound powered, wireless medical implant. The implant contains a piezoelectric energy receiver, an integrated circuit chip, and a loop antenna.
A team of Stanford scientists have developed a technique to rapidly convert adult somatic cells directly into functional neuronal cells without the intermediate step of generating iPS cells (induced pluripotent stem cells).
Stanford researchers have developed mutant Renilla luciferase proteins and reporter gene constructs which modify the physical characteristics of the Renilla luciferase protein for use in biological assays.
Stanford researchers at the Moore Lab have developed an algorithm for on-line, real time post processing of large amounts of neuronal data from high-density, multi-channel electrophysiological recordings to identify which neurons were firing (on-line spike recovery).
Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a new coating design which makes lithium metal batteries stable and promising for further development.
Stanford researchers have developed a high-performance, ultrafast, thermoresponsive polymer that can act as a circuit breaker to prevent fires in next-generation high-energy-density batteries by rapidly and reversibly turning off when overheated.
Stanford researchers have engineered an exceptionally bright, cyan-excitable orange-red fluorescent protein (CyOFP) that can be used both for multiplex imaging with GFP and for high-sensitivity, bioluminescent in vivo imaging.
