A new technology reveals that immune system genes switch on and off differently in women and men, and the source of that variation is not primarily in the DNA.

High levels of diversity among immune cells called natural killer cells may strongly predispose people to infection by HIV, and may be driven by prior viral exposures, according to a new study.

Linking gene expression patterns and immune system response to patient survival rates in nearly 18,000 cases of 39 types of cancers illuminates broad prognostic correlations.

The beta adrenergic pathway is dysfunctional in dilated cardiomyopathy. Now, researchers have learned how a mutation that causes the disease affects the pathway, and how to mitigate its effects.

At the medical school’s commencement, Lucy Shapiro described how years of solitary work in the laboratory led her to influence public policy and battle the growing threat of infectious disease on the global stage.

Stanford Medicine magazine was recognized for the quality of its writing, design and illustrations. Additionally, the news releases for the School of Medicine were honored.

The researchers identified patterns of gene expression that may determine whether the ear’s inner pillar cells can give rise to new hair cells, which are key to hearing.

Precision health takes a big-data approach to disease prevention and detection, focusing on the various factors that help maintain health throughout life.

Researchers have figured out how to create spheres of neuronal cells resembling the cerebral cortex, making functional human brain tissue available for the first time to study neuropsychiatric diseases such as autism and schizophrenia.

The funding will allow Joanna Wysocka to continue exploring the earliest steps of human development and aid Krishna Shenoy’s efforts to develop brain-machine interfaces.
