Stanford Medicine scientists are studying why even brief trips into space can weaken muscle and heart tissue, mimicking decades of aging on Earth.
The Unconventional Path of Stanford Medicine hematologist Tamara Dunn had her eyeing a career on Broadway.
‘We’re like inflammation detectives!’ says Stanford Medicine’s Jennifer Frankovich. Parsing out pain and inflammation is just part of discovering why kids face debilitating psychiatric effects of a distressing disease.
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.
Earlier this year, the largest tobacco company in the world paid millions to fund continuing medical education courses on nicotine addiction —16,000 physicians and other health care providers took them.
An experimental technology developed by Stanford Medicine bioengineers saves the life of a precious racehorse with big-league dreams.
Using AI, continuous glucose monitors, and an equity approach, diabetes care could be saving many more lives, Stanford Medicine researchers say.
Research is showing that advanced methods of genetic testing aren’t equally useful for everyone: They’re less accurate for non-white families, raising concerns about how historical gaps in whose DNA gets studied produce inequities in medical care.
Cases of patients who recovered from trauma after dreaming under surgical anesthesia spur Stanford Medicine researchers to investigate dreaming as therapy.
Often misunderstood and undertreated, bipolar disorder has received close attention from Stanford Medicine clinicians and researchers for more than 30 years.
Stanford Medicine doctors and researchers are modifying existing chatbots to perform well in a frontier of AI-enhanced medicine: the doctor-patient interaction.
Graduating medical students go through an unusual springtime ritual known as Match Day to find out where they’ll continue their training. Here’s everything you wanted to know about the big day.
A few closely related drugs, all squarely aimed at treating Alzheimer’s disease, have served up what can be charitably described as a lackadaisical performance. Stanford Medicine neurologist Mike Greicius explains why these drugs, so promising in theory, don’t appear to be helping patients much if at all.
A Q&A with a Stanford neuroscientist on dementia, healthy aging and memory loss — and how we can protect our brains in later life.
