Orthobiologics can be nature’s healing agents
Mayo Clinic physician-scientists are working on regenerative biotherapeutics such as orthobiologics and other regenerative bioinjectables to bring advanced procedures to more patients. Orthobiologics are biological agents that stimulate healing when standard therapies don’t work. Examples are platelet-rich plasma — platelets spun from a patient’s blood that promote cell repair— and bone marrow aspirate concentrate that […]

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 […]

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 […]

What’s behind patient requests for stem cells?
In one of the first studies of its kind, Mayo Clinic analyzed a large group of patients to understand their motivations for seeking stem cell therapies and whether expectations are grounded in science. The findings could help health care professionals cut through misleading claims and better counsel patients. This research by Jennifer Arthurs; Zubin Master, […]

Regenerative eyedrops tap blood for tears
Gregory Williams turned to regenerative medicine for healing after a one-two punch to his health. The 63-year-old Florida man survived leukemia only to develop ocular graft-versus-host disease, a potentially blinding complication of the bone marrow transplant that put his cancer in remission. Ocular graft-versus-host disease is a chronic debilitating condition with no cure that causes […]

From advanced-practice provider to regenerative medicine innovator
It’s not often that an advanced-practice provider is the teacher and a physician is the student. What some may consider a role reversal is one of many ways that Jennifer Arthurs, a nurse practitioner for Mayo Clinic’s Regenerative Medicine Therapeutic Suites in Florida, is at the vanguard of a new wave in medical practice. Regenerative […]
