New approach to immune cell analysis seen as first step to better distinguish health and disease
(11 Mar 2010)
Investigators have developed a new mathematical approach to analyze molecular data derived from complex mixtures of immune cells. This approach, when combined with well-established techniques, readily identifies changes in small samples of human ...

Virus-free technique enables Stanford scientists to easily make stem cells pluripotent
(09 Feb 2010)
Tiny circles of DNA are the key to a new and easier way to transform stem cells from human fat into induced pluripotent stem cells for use in regenerative medicine, say scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Unlike other commonly ...

Stanford researchers explore link between human birth defect syndrome, cancer metastasis
(05 Feb 2010)
Some cells are natural rule-breakers. Neural crest cells for example, not only migrate throughout the body during development (most cells are more selective in their wandering), they are also more developmentally flexible than their predecessors (a ...

Common anti-inflammatory drug could help prevent skin cancers, Stanford researcher says
(06 Jan 2010)
A widely-available anti-inflammatory prescription drug can reduce the risk of a common skin cancer in humans, according to a researcher at Stanford's School of Medicine. Although oral administration of the drug, celecoxib, is associated with an ...

Stanford scientists identify two molecules that affect brain plasticity in mice
(27 Nov 2009)
You wouldn't want a car with no brakes. It turns out that the developing brain needs them, too. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a set of molecular brakes that stabilize the developing brain's circuitry. ...

Common herbal medicine may prevent acetaminophen-related liver damage, says Stanford researcher
(24 Nov 2009)
A well-known Eastern medicine supplement may help avoid the most common cause of liver transplantation, according to a study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The finding came as a surprise to the scientists, who used a ...

Study reveals why certain drug combinations backfire
(17 Nov 2009)
Combination drug therapy has become a staple for treating many infections. For instance, doctors treat extensively drug resistant forms of tuberculosis with one drug that breaks down the pathogen's protective barriers and opens the door for another ...

Genomes of biofuel yeasts reveal clues that could boost fuel ethanol production worldwide
(06 Nov 2009)
As global temperatures and energy costs continue to soar, renewable sources of energy will be key to a sustainable future. An attractive replacement for gasoline is biofuel, and in two studies published in Genome Research, scientists have analyzed ...

Stanford study identifies cellular mechanism that causes lupuslike symptoms in mice
(20 Oct 2009)
Macrophages, the scavenger cells of the body's immune system, are responsible for disposing of dying cells. Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have identified one pathway in this important process in mice that, if disrupted, causes a ...

'Liposuction leftovers' easily converted to IPS cells, Stanford study shows
(09 Sep 2009)
Globs of human fat removed during liposuction conceal versatile cells that are more quickly and easily coaxed to become induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, than are the skin cells most often used by researchers, according to a new study ...
