  • Difference in severe versus mild COVID-19

    A comprehensive study of immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 associates mild disease with comparatively high levels of antibodies that target the viral spike protein. But all antibodies wane within months.

  • Purifying antibiotic could reduce its risk to hearing

    Scientists have discovered a simple method of reformulating gentamicin, a commonly used and highly effective antibiotic, that could reduce the risk it poses of causing deafness.

  • Brain-to-muscle circuit in a dish

    A Stanford Medicine team used human stem cells to assemble a working nerve circuit connecting brain tissue to muscle tissue. The research could enable scientists to better understand neurological disorders that affect movement.

  • Molecule restores strength in old mice

    A single protein is a master regulator of mouse muscle function during aging, a Stanford study finds. Blocking this protein increased muscle strength and endurance in old animals. It may play a role in age-related muscle weakening in humans.

  • Neuronal abnormalities in schizophrenia

    A common genetic deletion boosts the risk for schizophrenia by 30-fold. Generating nerve cells from people with the deletion has showed Stanford researchers why.

  • Strict measures to reopen schools safely

    Researchers at the Stanford School of Medicine suggest schools should and can reopen safely if they follow a set of strict — and expensive — guidelines to avoid COVID-19 infections among students and teachers.

  • California preemies going home healthier

    More of the youngest and smallest California preemies are going home from the hospital without any major complications, a Stanford study has found.

  • Handguns linked to increased suicide risk

    Men who own handguns are eight times more likely to die of gun suicides than men who don’t own handguns, and women who own handguns are 35 times more likely than women who don’t.

  • Study reveals molecular effects of exercise

    Researchers at the School of Medicine have shown how exercise changes the body at a molecular level and have identified blood markers of fitness.

  • Brain abnormalities in PANS

    MRI brain scans show subtle changes consistent with inflammation in a severe childhood disease in which the immune system is thought to attack the brain, Stanford researchers found.
