Early research in a cell-free solution for stress urinary incontinence
Skeletal muscle regenerated and symptoms of stress urinary incontinence in preclinical research suggests improvement after use of a cell-free substance discovered at Mayo Clinic. The teams of Atta Behfar, M.D., Ph.D. and Emanuel Trabuco, M.D., led this research in a collaboration between Mayo Clinic Departments of Cardiovascular Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology. The paper is […]

Inspired to deliver new regenerative healing solutions
Growing up the son of a neurologist in China, Ao “Kevin” Shi, often would read his mother’s medical journals that featured Mayo Clinic research. Inspired, he pursued a career as a physician-scientist. Shi is now writing his own scholarly papers at Mayo Clinic that could transform care for people with peripheral vascular disease. Shi is […]

Mayo Clinic preclinical study triggers wound healing, skin regeneration
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Difficult-to-treat, chronic wounds in preclinical models healed with normal scar-free skin after treatment with an acellular product discovered at Mayo Clinic. Derived from platelets, the purified exosome product, known as PEP, was used to deliver healing messages into cells of preclinical animal models of ischemic wounds. The Mayo Clinic research team documented […]
