  • Balls of intestinal cells from people with celiac disease faithfully model the disorder in a Stanford Medicine study. The lab-grown organoids revealed a new link between gluten and cell death.

  • Lymphoma therapy shows promise

    In an early Stanford Medicine study, CAR-T cell therapy helps some with intractable lymphoma, but those who relapse have few options. Modifying the therapy’s molecular target improved response.

  • Customizable AI tool aids pathologists

    The artificial intelligence technology can be trained by pathologists, giving them personalized assistance in identifying cells that might indicate diseases such as cancer or endometritis.

  • Foretelling breast cancer

    In a finding that vastly expands the understanding of tumor evolution, researchers discover genetic biomarkers that can predict the breast cancer subtype a patient is likely to develop.

  • Garcia wins 2024 Passano Award

    Garcia was recognized for his research into the way molecules bind to one another and its implications for safer and more effective treatments.

  • 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.

  • Eye fluid study may foster treatments

    Stanford Medicine researchers clock the age of cells to find new therapy targets.

  • Why young kids don’t get severe COVID

    Children’s noses pack a punch that could help explain COVID-19’s typically mild course in young kids. Researchers hope to parlay that ‘nasal magic’ into increased protections for adults.

  • Drug boosts nerve growth, muscle strength

    A drug that boosts strength in injured or aging mice restores connections between nerves and muscle and suggests ways to combat weakness in humans due to aging, injury or disease.

  • Depression after stroke

    Scientists discover a biomarker in stroke survivors, suggesting that chemical changes after stroke can lead to depression. The findings may pave the way toward treatment.

  • AI could inform brain cancer prognosis

    Stanford Medicine scientists and colleagues create an algorithm that could help physicians better understand and target complicated brain tumors.

  • Tissue mapping

    Stanford Medicine scientists describe details of the human intestine and placental tissue as part of the National Institute of Health’s Human Biomolecular Atlas Program.
