Immunotherapy has great promise as a cancer treatment, but current therapies only work in some. Now, Stanford researchers are testing the idea that microorganisms in our guts might be the deciding factor.
With a new school year ahead, Stanford research shows how students, teachers and parents can better understand what leads to – or in some instances, undermines – a student's success.
The bacteria in our gut make thousands of tiny, previously unidentified proteins that could shed light on human health and advance drug development, Ami Bhatt and collaborators have found.
Cancer cells are known to protect themselves using proteins that tell immune cells not to attack them. Stanford researchers have discovered a new “don’t eat me” signal, and blocking it may make cancer cells vulnerable to attack by the immune system.
Stanford scientists, using only direct brain stimulation, reproduced both the brain dynamics and the behavioral response of mice taught to discriminate between two different images.
Noel Vest, PhD, hasn’t let his past experiences with addiction and incarceration keep him from a science career. He recently joined Stanford Medicine as a postdoctoral scholar in the Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab, focusing on research and public policy.
Researchers have found that brain patterns in sleeping zebrafish are similar to those of land vertebrates, suggesting that such sleep signatures developed before aquatic and land animals diverged.
The new Stanford Hospital, which is scheduled to open to patients in the fall, has received the go-ahead for Stanford Health Care to begin staffing and stocking the building while minor finishing work is completed.
Using in-game win probability techniques, Stanford researchers devised a way to predict a cancer patient’s outcome at any point during treatment. The approach could also inform treatment decisions.
