Unexpected cells may spread COVID-19
A previously overlooked type of immune cell allows SARS-CoV-2 to proliferate, Stanford Medicine scientists have found. The discovery has important implications for preventing severe COVID-19.
-
Virtual biopsy shows promise
Stanford Medicine researchers develop a new imaging method to create a cell-by-cell reconstruction of skin or other tissue without taking a biopsy.
-
Keto diet helps mental illness
A small clinical trial led by Stanford Medicine found that the metabolic effects of a ketogenic diet may help stabilize the brain.
-
AI tackles antibiotic resistance
Stanford Medicine researchers devise a new artificial intelligence model, SyntheMol, which creates recipes for chemists to synthesize the drugs in the lab.
-
AI tools take on soft tissue sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas are rare and difficult to treat. Machine-learning tools designed at Stanford Medicine uncover distinct cellular communities that correlate with prognosis, immunotherapy success.

Bengal cat coats not so wild after all
Researchers studied hundreds of Bengal cats to uncover the genetic origins of their leopard-like patterns and found that their appearance stems largely from domesticated cats.
-
Kids exposed to lead in water
Researchers at Stanford Medicine and Johns Hopkins University estimate that some 129,000 children younger than 6 in Chicago have elevated levels of the neurotoxin in their blood due to lead pipes.
-
Drug ups production of anti-hunger molecule
A Stanford Medicine study found that metformin, a commonly prescribed diabetes drug associated with moderate weight loss, stimulates production of lac-phe, a molecule abundant after exercise.
-
Microbiomes are personal
Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues tracked the gut, mouth, nose and skin bacteria of 86 people for as long as six years to try to gauge what constitutes a healthy microbiome.
