A new tool enables researchers to test millions of mutated proteins in a matter of hours or days. The technology could speed the search for new medicines, industrial enzymes and biosensors.

Researchers have developed a new way to use atomic force microscopy to rapidly measure the mechanical properties of cells, an advance that could pave the way for better understanding immune disorders and cancer.

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.

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.

Eight faculty members from the School of Medicine and one from the School of Humanities and Sciences have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

With the donated tissue, a Stanford team has created the first cell line and mouse model of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a deadly tumor.

In September, the National Institutes of Health halted research funding for chimeric human/nonhuman embryos until new funding guidelines are established. Stanford researchers describe the detrimental impact of a ban.

Researchers discovered, in mice, the direct progenitors to coronary artery smooth muscle cells, the important component that encases the artery and gives it strength.

Award recipients share $200,000 in grants to research cardiovascular disease, create new knowledge and improve patient care.

Although the research was done in mice, the findings have possible implications for bone marrow transplants, more properly called hematopoietic stem cell transplants, in humans.
