Brief Description: Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel fiber-optic technology to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and immunity to motion artifacts that can be used in freely moving animals.
Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel strategy to perform concurrent fluorescence measurements of multiple biological parameters in freely moving and head-restrained animals.
A new deep-learning system called Atomic Rotationally Equivariant Scorer (ARES) significantly improves the prediction of RNA structures over previous artificial intelligence (AI) models.
Stanford researchers have found that a chemokine receptor antagonist can reduce immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment and thereby delay tumor progression.
Pharmacologic agents are commonly used to treat psychiatric diseases. These compounds, however, react differently across patients, are often followed by negative side effects and can have varied efficacy timeframes.
Stanford researchers have developed technology enabling pooling and simultaneous testing of engineered T cells from multiple human donors. This invention increases scale and reduces costs for diagnostic, and pre-clinical development of engineered T cell therapies.
Stanford researchers have developed a next-generation protein sequencing platform capable of identifying all the proteins in a cell at single amino acid resolution.
Stanford scientists designed a nanobody platform to inhibit the activity of granulysin, a protein that is often found in arterial plaque and released by T cells, to prevent the development of atherosclerosis such as heart attack and strokes.
Researchers at Stanford have discovered that nanobodies blocking amphiregulin (AREG) activity have the potential to impede the progression of early-stage atherosclerotic plaque lesions to advanced-stage fibroatheromas.
Stanford researchers have designed a nanobody platform to selectively block a key region on T cells found within arterial plaque, with the aim of preventing thrombotic complications and myocarditis.
Stanford scientists have developed a novel method to accelerate the development of T cell target probes known as Rapid Identification of Peptide-ligands from Protein Antigen (RIPPA).
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a method which integrates cell barcoding and high-throughput sequencing to quantify tumor growth in genetically engineered mouse models of human cancer (called 'Tuba-seq” for Tumor barcoding coupled with seq
Creating human brain progenitors and neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offers vast possibilities to study, model and treat neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, which are among the most intractable diseases that afflict our society.
Stanford researchers in the Mark Davis Lab have developed a human cell culture system to grow 3D immune organoids within hydrogel structures using limited cellular input that can be adapted to large screening assays for flexible downstream immunological readouts.
Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are essential for hearing as they transmit electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain. Loss of SGNs causes permanent hearing loss because SGNs do not spontaneously regenerate in humans.
