Researchers at Stanford have developed a targeted delivery system using carbon nanotubes to specifically deliver cardiovascular drugs to treat atherosclerosis. A feature of atherosclerotic plaque is the accumulation of apoptotic cells.
Engineers at the Khuri-Yakub Group have designed a non-surgical alternative for treating epilepsy using ultrasonic technology which can detect, localize, and suppress epileptic seizures in epileptic patients.
Ultrasound complements mammography as an imaging modality for breast cancer detection, especially in patients with dense breast tissue, but its utility is limited by low diagnostic accuracy.
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.
Researchers at Stanford are developing methods of using arginine vasopressin (AVP) to improve social abilities of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social impairments (e.g.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods of using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing to treat patients with EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Approximately 85% of lung cancers are NSCLC.
Stanford researchers have developed a new machine learning method for extracting gait parameters, such as cadence, step length, peak knee flexion, and Gait Deviation Index (GDI), from a single video.
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 Xing Lab have developed a novel method using deep neural networks called "Q2MRI" to simultaneously acquire qualitative MR image and quantitative MRI parametric maps without changing the clinical imaging protocol or elongating MRI scan tim
Dr. Guillem Pratx and colleagues have developed a high-throughput single cell scintillation counting system that can sort cells on the basis of uptake of a small radiolabeled molecule.
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.
A team of Stanford researchers has developed a precisely controlled hydrogel drug delivery system that prevents scarring and promotes wound healing in large, full thickness wounds.
