Researchers don’t know much about how viruses like those that cause chicken pox infect cells. A super-cold form of electron microscopy could change that, potentially paving the way for new treatments and vaccines.
May 11 2019 | Stanford ChEM-H
In 2015, postdoctoral scholars Jennifer Cao and Cole Dovey met at the Stanford ChEM-H Postdoc Retreat and discovered that they shared an interest in cell death pathways. Funding from Stanford ChEM-H has brought their labs closer to understanding the different ways cells self-destruct.

Low oxygen levels during brain development may cause particular cells to differentiate too soon, a Stanford-led study found.
May 6 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
Using a lab model, Stanford researchers identified a type of developing brain cell that is profoundly changed by exposure to low oxygen levels.

In a Stanford study of 30 children with autism, intranasal vasopressin improved social skills more than a placebo, suggesting that the hormone may treat core features of the disorder.
May 2 2019 | Stanford Medicine
Stanford researchers have developed synthetic proteins that can rewire cancer cells in a lab dish by co-opting critical disease-associated pathways.
Apr 30 2019 | Stanford News
Four Stanford researchers are among the 100 newly elected members of the National Academy of Sciences.

Stanford researchers have developed a technique to encourage the immune system to target a section of the flu virus that is conserved year to year.
Apr 26 2019 | Stanford News
Another year, another flu vaccine because so far scientists haven’t managed to make a vaccine that protects against all strains of flu. A new approach could end that ritual and protect against deadly pandemic flu.
Apr 24 2019 | Stanford ChEM-H
Stanford ChEM-H Institute Scholar Laura Dassama tells us about life as an assistant professor, what it means to think like a chemist when studying human health and disease, and what drew her to Stanford.

Stanford doctors, materials scientists hope a blood test will encourage more colon cancer screenings
Up to half of people who should be screened for colorectal cancer do not get the routine procedure. A blood test to detect colorectal cancer being developed by Stanford doctors and materials scientists could help change that.

Recent Stanford research on the importance of a particular gene in aging can be traced to a casual conversation between roommates.
Apr 10 2019 | Stanford Medicine
In preclinical trials, Stanford scientists and their collaborators harnessed the breakthrough gene-editing system to replace the mutated gene underpinning the devastating immune disease.
Apr 10 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
Stanford scientists and collaborators have harnessed CRISPR to replace the mutated gene underpinning the devastating immune disease, SCID-X1.
Apr 8 2019 | Stanford ChEM-H
Baker Family Co-Director of Stanford ChEM-H, Carolyn Bertozzi, has been recognized with the 2019 Gustavus John Esselen Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest for her work in manipulating the complex sugar coating on cell surfaces.
Apr 4 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
This In the Spotlight features Kyle Loh, a stem cell researcher who is working to create pure populations of cells. He also enjoys road bicycling.
