Electrically conductive hydrogels may hold the power to advance the use of stem cells for neural engineering.

Paul George, Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences and Daria Mochly-Rosen, Department of Chemical and Systems Biology receive grant for their work "Creating a pharmacologic stroke recovery therapy". This team has identified a promising protein-based therapeutic to improve stroke recovery. The team will use the Neuroscience:Translate award to identify key components of this protein to maximize its therapeutic potential for stroke treatments.

Scientists are decoding how electrically stimulating transplanted stem cells helps heal the injured brain.

Paul George shares how a dual career as a physician and scientist enriches his research.

Researchers are zeroing in on new techniques to help people recover fully and quickly from a stroke.

Stanford scientists have developed a device that delivers and electrically stimulates stem cells to promote stroke healing.

Collaborations between Stanford University and the region’s many community colleges offer exposure to academic paths, from the social sciences to nanotechnology and beyond.

An astounding 800,000 strokes occur annually in the United States, creating an immense burden for stroke survivors, their caregivers, and the healthcare system with costs of more than $100 billion per year. Currently, no therapies exist to improve recovery. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising clinical therapy for stroke recovery. Many of stem… Read more
