Researchers find marker identifying most basic form of blood stem cell
Feature on research by Scientific Leadership Council Member and Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Irving Weissman:
Nearly 30 years after the discovery of the hematopoietic stem cell, Stanford researchers have found a marker that allows them to study the version of these stem cells that continues to replicate.
Stanford scientists celebrate technological advances that finally made gravitational wave detection possible
Feature on research by Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Robert Byer:
By proving a hundred-year-old theory, an international team of scientists has taken another step toward understanding the birth and evolution of the universe.
Researchers create compound that combats drug-resistant malaria parasites, spares human cells
Feature on research by Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Matthew Bogyo:
Teasing apart subtle differences between a protein-shredding structure found in malaria parasites and in human cells enabled researchers to design a compound targeting the parasite without harming human tissue.
Forget chocolates. Give your sweetheart mushrooms this Valentine's Day, says Stanford scientist
Feature on research by Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Kabir Peay:
A romantic evening of chocolate and wine would not be possible without an assist from fungi, says Stanford biology professor Kabir Peay. In fact, truffles might be the ultimate romantic gift, as they exude pheromones that can attract female mammals.
