(Stanford University Medical Center) The genome of a squirrel-sized, saucer-eyed lemur from Madagascar may help scientists understand how HIV-like viruses co-evolved with primates, according to new research from the Stanford University School of Medicine.

HHS today announced an exciting collaboration with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Patient Education Research Center at the Stanford University School of Medicine to increase the number of diabetes self-management training programs (DSMT) in the United States.

(Stanford University Medical Center) Oncologist Allison Kurian, MD, and her colleagues at the Stanford University School of Medicine were perplexed.

Computer models designed to identify women who might have dangerous genetic mutations that increase their risk of breast and ovarian cancer worked well for white women.

But they seemed to be less reliable for another ethnic group.

(Stanford University Medical Center) Previously unrecognized and unidentified infections of amniotic fluid may be a significant cause of premature birth, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

(Stanford University Medical Center) Kidney cancer patients generally have one option for beating their disease: surgery to remove the organ.

But that could change, thanks to a new molecule found by Stanford University School of Medicine researchers that kills kidney cancer cells.

(Stanford University Medical Center) Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine report that lowering levels of one cancer signal under a specific threshold reverses this process in mice, returning tumor cells to their normal, healthy state.

Neural cells derived from human embryonic stem cells helped repair stroke-related damage in rats' brains and led to improvements in their physical abilities, according to a new study by Stanford University School of Medicine researchers.

The study, published in Wednesday's PLoS ONE, marks the first time researchers have used human embryonic stem cells to generate neural cells that grow well in the lab, improve a rat's physical abilities and consistently don't form tumors when transplanted.
