Tissue engineering techniques discovered at Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University created a humanlike vocal cord (fold) structure with the potential to produce a natural-sounding voice. The bioengineered scaffold mimics human vocal folds, with ability to vibrate and make sound. The study team reported the tissue-engineered vocal fold structure suggests potential for growing cells capable […]

Reprogramming stem cells to heal disease
At one point, Shinya Yamanaka, M.D., Ph.D., was so down and discouraged that he almost gave up his research into embryonic cells and their powerful potential to replace diseased cells. He was finding little interest among colleagues; funding was hard to come by; and research journals rejected his studies. Then, discovery of human embryonic cell […]

Expanding regenerative biotherapeutics to new practice areas
As a physician at the forefront of new cancer therapies, Yi Lin, M.D., Ph.D., understands the highs and lows that patients experience. Will the latest technologies slow or stop disease? If not, is this the last, best option? Dr. Lin, a hematologist, sees the need for a new class of drugs that provides different treatment […]

Training scientists to rebuild health
Experts predict that regenerative medicine will transform clinical practice. A conservative estimate is that 20% of future medical and surgical solutions will involve regenerative solutions. Regenerative medicine shifts the focus of medicine from fighting disease to rebuilding health. Regenerative medicine could improve human health span — the number of disease-free years — so a person’s […]

Mayo Clinic opens a second Regenerative Medicine Therapeutic Suites
Mayo Clinic has opened the Regenerative Medicine Therapeutic Suites in Arizona for patients seeking enhanced care when standard procedures don’t meet their needs. The suites are an intersection of clinical practice, research and lab space where patients can have their cells processed on-site for immediate application to their condition. “It’s a whole new level of […]

Engineering tissue to strengthen underdeveloped hearts
Could cells taken from a small patch of skin become heart muscle and repair a rare congenital heart defect? It’s a scientific question that Timothy Nelson, M.D., Ph.D., and collaborators hope to answer for those born with an underdeveloped left heart chamber — a rare, complex condition known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Discovering […]

Real-world evidence study of regenerative medicine and shoulder surgery
Applying regenerative medicine to a common shoulder surgery could have an impact on the need for follow-up revision surgery in some patients, according to a Mayo Clinic study of real-world evidence. Mayo Clinic researchers analyzed the largest set of data available to determine if adding bone marrow aspirate concentrate to repaired tissue after standard rotator […]
