Stanford Medicine researchers on the hunt for an elusive cardiac fibrosis drug were surprised when a malaria drug with ancient origins emerged as their top candidate.
Custom designing proteins — a breakthrough recognized by the latest Nobel Prize in chemistry — could yield treatments that stop the worst of COVID-19 before it begins.
Our researchers picked cells from all over the human body — cells of all shapes, sizes and abilities. From the brain to the heart to the intestines.
Stanford Medicine scientists are studying why even brief trips into space can weaken muscle and heart tissue, mimicking decades of aging on Earth.
The so-called ‘forever chemicals’ can stick around in the environment — and in our bodies. Scientists agree there is cause for concern. So what should we be doing to mitigate our health risks?
Stanford Medicine’s Sean Quirin once looked upward with a telescope, seeking clues to the universe. Now he trains his optical eye inward with a fascination for understanding the brain and the complex maladies that afflict it.
Often misunderstood and undertreated, bipolar disorder has received close attention from Stanford Medicine clinicians and researchers for more than 30 years.
Statistics expert Julia Salzman returned to biology and has married her two areas of expertise to design a new form of genomics analysis.
The ultimate goal: a vaccine with coverage so broad it can protect against viruses never before encountered.

Stanford Medicine researchers are designing vaccines that might protect people from not merely individual viral strains but broad ranges of them. The ultimate goal: a vaccine with coverage so broad it can protect against viruses never before encountered.
A new survey of an under-explored aspect of human biology uncovers the many roles of the body’s “greasy molecules.”
Stanford Medicine scientists devised a cancer imaging technology that opens doors to new research questions and precision medicine.
Scientists explain a key difference between the spike-protein molecules generated by the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine and those the virus induces.
Stanford Medicine researchers discover an "on-off" switch that powers tissue regeneration in axolotls, a type of salamander.
Researchers have mapped the human intestine at the level of individual cells, showing how cellular neighborhoods work together in the gut.
