Addressing diversity barriers to regenerative medicine
With the promise of regenerative medicine comes the risk of widening health care disparities. Sometimes the newest discoveries, such as regenerative interventions, are out of reach for people in diverse ethnic or socioeconomic groups — or they may not understand or trust new options for healing. Mayo Clinic is trying to overcome those barriers by […]
