Regenerative medicine paves the way for a heart transplant
Travis Kelchen’s path to a regenerative intervention at Mayo Clinic began when he was on vacation in the Dominican Republic and could barely walk at his brother’s wedding. At 31, he was tired, winded and losing color. Within months, his cardiologist said he could not do anything more for Travis’ congenital heart defect and referred […]

A preclinical step toward treating chronic dry mouth
Mayo Clinic researchers replicated chronic dry mouth from radiation damage in preclinical models, laying the foundation for stem cell research to regenerate salivary tissue after cancer. This discovery uses targeted X-radiation to mimic human injury and establish a lab model for testing cellular therapies for dry mouth. The study is published in Radiation Research. “The […]

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 […]

Addressing the challenges of chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy
Article by Marla Broadfoot Chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy (CAR-T cell therapy) — a type of immunotherapy that reprograms a patient’s T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells — has revolutionized the treatment of blood cancers. While the technique has successfully sent patients with advanced disease into remission, it is far from perfect. CAR-T […]

Molecular mapping of the heart to predict disease susceptibility
Vulnerability to heart disease can be projected before symptoms occur, Mayo Clinic discovered in preclinical research. This proof-of-concept study revealed that heart muscle changes indicate who is vulnerable to disease later in life. These changes can be detected from blood samples through comprehensive protein and metabolite profiling. This exploratory mapping, conducted in the Marriott Family […]
