Investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine have pinpointed a molecular defect that seems almost universal among patients with Parkinson’s disease and those at a high risk of... Read more
The bacteria in our gut make thousands of tiny, previously unidentified proteins that could shed light on human health and advance drug development, Stanford researchers have found. Your bod... Read more
In a large trial led by a Stanford investigator, an experimental drug produced clinically meaningful improvements for rheumatoid arthritis patients unresponsive to existing treatments. Rheum... Read more
A Stanford clinical trial that provided proactive, personalized care to participants detected overlooked health conditions and risks. A Stanford Medicine pilot program combining cutting-edge... Read more
Stanford researchers have developed synthetic proteins that can rewire cancer cells in a lab dish by co-opting critical disease-associated pathways Synthetic proteins engineered to recognize... Read more
Stanford scientists devised a blood-based test that accurately identified people with chronic fatigue syndrome, a new study reports. People suffering from a debilitating and often discounted... Read more
Brain cells called microglia serve as the brain’s garbage crew, scarfing up bits of cellular debris. But their underperformance in aging brains contributes to neurodegeneration. Now, a possi... Read more
Scientists at Stanford used the wire to capture free-floating tumor cells in the blood, a technique that soon could be used in humans to yield an earlier cancer diagnosis. A magnetic wire us... Read more
Scientists at Stanford are believed to be the first to have discovered a biomarker that can predict who will be most susceptible to influenza. Researchers at the Stanford University School o... Read more
Fresh or frozen human blood samples can be directly transformed into patient-specific neurons to study disorders such as schizophrenia and autism, Stanford researchers find. Human immune cel... Read more
