Study hints at ways to generate neurons
The researchers’ finding suggests the possibility of designing pharmaceutical or genetic therapies to turn on new neuron production in old or injured brains.

Lymphoma therapy shows promise
In an early Stanford Medicine study, CAR-T cell therapy helps some with intractable lymphoma, but those who relapse have few options. Modifying the therapy’s molecular target improved response.

Gene therapy for neurologic disease
Experts at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health helped conduct clinical trials for the new therapy, which gives kids with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, or ALD, a functioning copy of the abnormal gene.

Low risk of cancer after CAR-T therapy
In April, the FDA warned of risk of secondary cancers in people receiving CAR-T cell therapy. A large Stanford Medicine study finds the risk is low and not related to the CAR-T cells.

Myelination may drive drug addiction
New research in mice by Stanford Medicine scientists has found that the process of adaptive myelination, which helps the brain learn new skills, can also promote addiction to opioids.

Wes Brown dies at 63
Brown developed stem-cell therapies for patients who suffered infections after receiving blood or bone marrow transplants.

Studying neurodevelopmental disorders
Stanford Medicine research on Timothy syndrome — which predisposes newborns to autism and epilepsy — may extend well beyond the rare genetic disorder to schizophrenia and other conditions.

Chuck Chan dies at 48
The Stanford Medicine researcher was known for his groundbreaking work and his generous spirit as a mentor and colleague.

One treatment improves vaccine response
Those with aging immune systems struggle to fight off novel viruses and respond weakly to vaccination. Stanford Medicine researchers were able to revitalize the immune system in mice.

Tachycardia unraveled
Researchers engineered stem cell-derived heart tissues to study how tachycardia affects the heart and to uncover the inner workings of our body’s engine.
