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.
