Long-term safety, benefits of stem therapy for heart failure
The largest regenerative medicine clinical trial to date for heart failure finds stem cell therapy is safe over the long term and benefits patients with advanced left ventricular enlargement. This multinational research, co-led by Andre Terzic, M.D., Ph.D., director of Mayo Clinic’s Center for Regenerative Medicine, and published in ESC Heart Failure, offers guidance in […]

Evolution of cardiac regeneration
By Jen Schutz 
February is American Heart Month, a time to acknowledge advancements in a new generation of care. This year focus is placed on repairing damaged heart tissue and restoring heart function after a heart attack. The Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine is leading research into cardiac regeneration. Accounting for nearly 20 million of all deaths, […]

Researching Cell-Free Peptide Therapeutics for Cardiac Repair and Regeneration
John C. Burnett Jr., M.D., is studying the prevention of heart failure after a heart attack. The goal of his research is to establish that the use of a novel Mayo Clinic engineered peptide will serve as a cell-free therapeutic strategy for cardiac repair and regeneration. Dr. Burnett is a Regenerative Medicine Minnesota research grant recipient […]

Regenerative Medicine has Potential to Change How We Approach Cardiovascular Disease
An article in Cardiology News describes the effort to bring regenerative medicine into clinical practice for cardiovascular disease. Although routine stem cell applications for cardiovascular disease are not yet available, current research spans the spectrum of heart diseases, deepening our knowledge base. This new knowledge is translating into a regenerative medicine care that moves towards […]

Mayo Clinic Researchers Investigate Innovations in Heart Transplant
Previously published in Mayo Clinic’s research magazine, Discovery’s Edge. As a science writer, I’m typically juggling a recorder, a note pad and a pen. Sometimes a camera. Today, the heart I held in my hand was warm and firm, red and healthy-looking. And beating. In my hand. Just an hour earlier it was in the […]

Mayo Clinic Discovery Leads to FDA Approval for Stem Cell Trial for Heart Failure Patients
Cardio3 BioSciences, an international Mayo Clinic collaborator, has received FDA approval for a phase III pivotal clinical trial of its stem cell therapy. The trial will test the Mayo Clinic discovery of cardiopoietic (cardiogenically-instructed) stem cells designed to improve heart health in people suffering from heart failure. The multisite U.S. trial, called CHART-2, will aim to recruit […]
