  • Discovery links cancer-promoting pathways

    Researchers have identified a link between the expression of a cancer-related gene and cell-surface molecules that protect tumors from the immune system.

  • Key blood stem cell marker identified

    Nearly 30 years after the discovery of the hematopoietic stem cell, Stanford researchers have found a marker that allows them to study the version of these stem cells that continues to replicate.

  • Cell protein may show who needs chemo

    A small subset of colon cancers lacks the CDX2 protein — a hallmark of colon tissue maturation. Patients with these cancers may benefit more than others from chemotherapy.

  • Mackall joins Stanford Medicine

    Crystal Mackall will lead the university’s efforts to translate basic science discoveries into immune-based treatments for pediatric and adult cancers.

  • Nerve-cell firing rates dictate alertness

    A new study shows that a circuit in a brain structure called the thalamus acts like a radio, with different stations operating at different frequencies and appealing to different "listening" audiences.

  • Viral genetic material aids human development

    Genetic residue from ancient viral infections has been repurposed to play a vital role in acquiring pluripotency, the developmental state that allows a fertilized human egg to become all the cells in the body.
