Stanford researchers who previously pioneered a new kind of protein degradation have mapped out how the process works, which could lead to new drug therapies for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, and for rare childhood enzyme disorders.
Precision medicine lets doctors individualize treatment for a disease whose symptoms manifest differently across the hundreds of millions of people who have it.
With synchronous video from a pair of smartphones, engineers at Stanford have created an open-source motion-capture app that democratizes the once-exclusive science of human movement – at 1% of the cost.
Eran Bendavid and his Stanford colleagues examined how often Californians visit emergency departments and found that, surprisingly, people tend to avoid the hospital on the smokiest days.
Pioneering epidemiology project WastewaterSCAN has added parainfluenza, rotavirus, adenovirus group F, enterovirus D68, Candida auris, and hepatitis A to the list of infectious diseases it can monitor for public health. Its monitoring roster already included COVID-19, RSV, Mpox, influenza A and B, human metapneumovirus (HMPV), and norovirus.
Normal pregnancy is characterized by progressive changes in sleep and activity. When those don’t happen on a typical trajectory, it can be a warning sign for premature delivery.
Advances in the 3D printing of living tissue – a field known as bioprinting – puts within reach the possibility of fabricating whole organs from scratch and implanting them in living beings. A multidisciplinary team from Stanford received a federal contract to do just that.
