An artificial intelligence algorithm used newborn blood samples to shed light on the biological complexity of what can go wrong after preterm birth, a Stanford Medicine-led study found.
Amit Sinha, chief investment officer and head of life sciences investing at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, assumed chair of Stanford Health Care’s board of directors Jan. 1.
A variant of influenza (subclade K) is circulating this year, nasty and prevalent enough that people are calling it the 'super flu.' How is it different from other years and what can you do to protect yourself?
The Epstein-Barr virus can convert B cells it’s infected into diabolical overlords that reprogram myriad other immune cells to attack our tissues, Stanford Medicine scientists have found.
Although cancer incidence rises with age, the very old seem to be at less risk. A study led by Stanford University shows this phenomenon in mice and explores the protective effect of advanced age.
Stanford Medicine researchers found that a smartphone could monitor patients with two types of muscular dystrophy as well as traditional methods and diagnose conditions more accurately — at no cost.
“The phrase ‘Sugar feeds cancer’ is a dangerous statement,” says Stanford Medicine oncology dietitian Erika Connor. “It switches people’s anxiety on and sets them up for misinformation and panic.”
Many people are turning to marijuana for medical purposes and it may help for some. But older adults, in particular, should be aware of the risks to their health, Stanford Medicine experts caution.
The genetic variant APOE4, carried by one-fifth of the world’s people, substantially boosts Alzheimer’s risk. But scientists have been puzzled about how to reverse that risk: punch up the gene variant’s potency, or smack it down? Now we know.
Stanford Medicine researchers found cells that keep a speech-linked protein called FOXP2 from clumping; its tricks could break apart clumps of proteins that cause devastating brain diseases.
Foundation AI model is transforming analysis of walking and running dynamics
Biomechanics labs can take hours and cost thousands of dollars to analyze a single patient. GaitDynamics analyzes movement and predicts joint forces a thousand times faster than traditional methods.
‘Academic institutions are where most of the progress will be made in medical AI’
Stanford radiologist and data scientist Curtis Langlotz develops AI-powered systems that help medical experts and patients improve care across a variety of diseases and ailments.
‘Our goal is to build bridges between the lab and the classroom’
By studying why some kids struggle to read, cognitive neuroscientist Jason Yeatman hopes to make education work better for all students and deepen science’s understanding of the brain.
Stanford neuroscientist Sergiu Pasca is pioneering technology to recreate human brain tissue and neural circuits in the lab – giving scientists unprecedented access to human brain development and opening new possibilities for treating disorders from...
Scientists in the lab of chemical engineer Monther Abu-Remaileh are uncovering the cellular functions that go awry in degenerative brain disorders and identifying therapies that could treat them.
Four Stanford Medicine professors were honored this month: for an article in a scientific journal, for co-creating a clinical educational AI tool, for a discovery about ALS and for research into understanding and treating diabetes.
Stanford Medicine professors were honored for authoring an article and for leadership in cardiovascular research and were awarded grants for research into postpartum depression and skin disease.
