An easy-to-apply gel prevents abdominal adhesions in animals in Stanford Medicine study
Up to 90% of abdominal surgeries result in adhesions — abnormal scarring that ties together organs and tissues. A gel developed at Stanford Medicine prevented adhesions in mice and pigs.
Scientists create a type of catalog, the ‘colocatome,’ of non-cancerous cells’ influence on cancer
Stanford Medicine scientists are using artificial intelligence to better capture how healthy cells surrounding tumors influence cancer cell behavior and how those interactions can inform treatments.
Naturally occurring molecule rivals Ozempic in weight loss, sidesteps side effects
A Stanford Medicine study taps artificial intelligence to find a naturally occurring molecule called a peptide that suppressed appetite and led to weight loss in mice and pigs.
Stanford Medicine patient is free of prostate cancer years after minimally invasive treatment
Stanford Medicine’s Minimally Invasive MR Interventional Center employs two kinds of therapy for treating prostate cancer without surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
Immune ‘fingerprints’ aid diagnosis of complex diseases in Stanford Medicine study
Receptors on B and T cells hint at what the immune system is targeting. An AI approach called Mal-ID developed at Stanford Medicine increases diagnostic accuracy, particularly for autoimmune diseases.
A prescription for produce improves health, new research finds
Stanford Medicine researchers’ study of a ‘Food as Medicine’ model providing fresh produce and health education finds positive results for both food insecurity and chronic disease.

Inside Stanford Medicine
Recognizing and celebrating the invaluable contributions of our community at Stanford Medicine
Photobiomodulation, the use of light waves to change human biology, has boomed in recent years for all kinds of purposes, at medical clinics and at home. We wanted to know what the science says — and doesn’t say.
Four Stanford Medicine professors won awards recognizing the contributions they have made to biomedical sciences while intensive care units at Stanford Hospital were honored for excellence in nursing.
A professor was honored with Korea’s top science prize, another received a public service award, while a third was given a Catalyst award; Stanford Medicine’s Center for Asian Health Research and Education received a grant to launch a program addressing diabetes; a postdoctoral scholar was named a Hanna Gray fellow; and a medical student was named to the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
Paul Yock receives National Medal of Technology and Innovation
The emeritus bioengineering professor was awarded the medal for his significant contributions to interventional cardiology and for driving health technology innovation.
Often called “America’s Nobel Prize,” the National Medal of Science honors the country’s leading researchers. Stem cell biologist Helen Blau was recognized for her work on cellular plasticity and aging.
Stanford Medicine is harnessing artificial intelligence to expedite research, advance treatments, improve patient care and achieve better health equity. Follow the latest developments in the integration of AI technologies into biomedicine.
