  • Protein helps speed wound healing

    Pretreatment with a stem-cell-activating protein significantly enhances healing in mice, Stanford researchers say. The approach could eventually help people going into surgery or combat heal better from injuries they sustain.

  • Fibrotic diseases united by common pathway

    A common signaling pathway unites diverse fibrotic diseases in humans, Stanford researchers have found. An antibody called anti-CD47, which is being tested as an anti-cancer agent, reverses fibrosis in mice.

  • Brain’s ‘GPS’ is complex

    Neuroscientists’ discovery of grid cells, popularly known as the brain’s GPS, was hailed as a major discovery. But new Stanford research suggest the system is more complicated than anyone had guessed.

  • Master cell regulator blocks all but one outcome

    A regulatory protein actively blocks the expression of non-neuronal genes in nerve cells, according to new Stanford research. The finding suggests there are many master regulators to help cell types maintain their identities.

  • Patients blinded by treatment touted as ‘trial’

    After three patients were blinded following a treatment marketed as a stem cell clinical trial, Stanford ophthalmologist Jeffrey Goldberg calls for increased patient education and regulation.

  • Antibody effective against brain tumors

    Antibodies against the CD47 “don’t eat me” signal were shown in mice to be a safe and effective way to target five kinds of pediatric brain tumors, according to Stanford researchers.

  • Listening to the brain

    Stanford engineers and neurosurgeons have worked together to develop an experimental technology that could one day allow people with paralysis to affect the world around them using only their minds.

  • Heart-damaging chemo drugs ranked

    Stanford researchers have developed a test that may help screen for cardiotoxicity in new chemotherapy drugs.

  • Algorithm can identify skin cancer

    In the hope of creating better access to medical care, Stanford researchers have trained an algorithm to diagnose skin cancer.

  • Many breast cancer patients ‘undertested’

    Physicians often fail to recommend genetic testing to breast cancer patients at high risk for cancer-associated mutations. Improving access to genetic counseling about the testing process and results is a key priority.
