Research prepares for Mayo’s first larynx transplant
Mayo Clinic has refined a preclinical model that lays the foundation for its first-ever larynx transplant. The model assesses the unique immunosuppressive needs of vascular composite allograft (VCA) transplantation, a type of transplant that requires transferring many different types of tissues, such as muscle, blood vessels and nerves, along with the organ. A larynx transplant […]

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 […]

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 […]

Options for laryngeal regeneration
Mayo Clinic is using 3D printing as a new option to heal the larynx after cancer or traumatic injury. David Lott, M.D., a Mayo Clinic otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon, is an expert who can speak about a pioneering procedure using 3D bioimplants and tissue engineering to regenerate the larynx, more commonly known as […]

Bringing regenerative technology of the future to patients today
“The sky’s the limit,” “possibility” and “potential cure for disease” are aspirational ways Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists described regenerative medicine in a recent virtual presentation at the World Stem Cell Summit 2022. Mayo’s panel discussion showcased how it is advancing regenerative medicine through industry collaborations that accelerate scientific discoveries to early stage clinical trials. […]

Regenerating damaged vocal cords
Cells from amniotic membrane show potential of repairing vocal cord injuries that don’t respond to standard care, Mayo Clinic discovered in preclinical research. The placental membrane provides a rich source of epithelial cells that could regenerate damaged tissue. Research by David Lott, M.D., a laryngeal surgeon in Arizona, found epithelial cells extracted after childbirth triggered […]

Regenerating the larynx: A second chance at speech
Mayo Clinic is leveraging advances in regenerative medicine to restore function for people whose lives have been drastically changed by a laryngectomy — surgery to remove the voice box. People without a voice box can neither speak with their natural voices nor breathe through their noses. Simple pleasures like smelling a bouquet of flowers or […]
