Image Research news | Jul 9 2025 Stanford Medicine People with ‘young brains’ outlive ‘old-brained’ peers A blood-test analysis developed at Stanford Medicine can determine the “biological ages” of 11 separate organ systems in individuals’ bodies and predict the health consequences. Image Researcher profiles | Jun 23 2025 Stanford Report ‘You can literally lose who you are’ Scientists in the lab of chemical engineer Monther Abu-Remaileh are uncovering the cellular functions that go awry in degenerative brain disorders and identifying therapies that could treat them. Image News Features | Jun 17 2025 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Myelin matters A decade ago, three generations of Stanford scientists banded together to publish a landmark study on one of the brain’s most prevalent structures. Today, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute researchers are discovering that myelin is key to just about every aspect of neurological health.
