Mammalian cells use a label to distinguish self from non-self circular RNA molecules. Foreign molecules can trigger anti-cancer immune responses.
Researchers at Stanford have devised an algorithm that predicts how likely a diagnostic test, when repeated, will yield useful information.
Researchers at Stanford have created the ultimate consult, pulling from millions of de-identified patient records to better inform the health of others.
The new Stanford Medicine magazine examines value, with a focus on disease detection, patient-doctor relationships and the latest health technology.
The best time to get a flu shot is when you haven't had antibiotics recently, a new study has found, because healthy gut bacteria protect immunity.
Researchers have identified five types of concussions, which have different symptoms and initial treatments. All can disturb sleep.
