Saranya Wyles: Regenerating damaged skin
When she was just 8 years old, Saranya Wyles, M.D., Ph.D., would recite the stages of wound healing in Latin terms — rubor, tumor, calor, dolor and functio laesa— to her father at the dinner table. Decades later, that ingrained knowledge would be a cornerstone of her regenerative medicine research, education and practice at Mayo […]

The immune system and bone regeneration
Growing up as a student athlete in Cincinnati, Joe Panos had more than his fair share of visits to the orthopedist for sports injuries. The care he received for conditions ranging from pitcher’s elbow to soccer sprains so impressed him that he vowed one day to be the physician instead of the patient. Now Panos, […]
