A twist of fate led to regenerative medicine

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

A chance meeting on a student shuttle bus put Wenchun Qu, M.D., Ph.D., on a new  direction that years later would culminate in becoming the Jorge and Leslie Bacardi Associate Director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Biotherapeutics in Florida. During a ride to the University of Southern California (USC) where Dr. Qu was […]

LaTonya Hickson, M.D.: Seeking a cellular therapy for chronic kidney disease

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Every year, more than 130,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease, with most cases caused by diabetes. Newer therapies show promise to slow kidney failure rates, but none stop progression to end-stage kidney failure. The research goal of LaTonya Hickson, M.D., is to develop a cell-based therapy that slows — or […]

Biomanufacturing 101: Understanding a new era of therapeutics

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Advancing cellular discoveries from clinical trials to commercial therapy is a cornerstone of Mayo Clinic’s strategic emphasis on biomanufacturing. The long-term vision is to provide new cures for patients with unmet needs. “Biomanufacturing is a type of manufacturing that utilizes sources from the human body — cells, blood, enzymes, tissues, genes or genetically engineered cells […]

Reimagining stem cell cultivation

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Mayo Clinic has discovered how to microencapsulate pluripotent stem cells to potentially make them easier and less expensive to process and more effective for fighting disease. This research by Alexander Revzin, Ph.D., a Mayo Clinic biomedical engineer, is published in Bioactive Materials. “Human pluripotent stem cells hold considerable promise as a source of adult cellsfor […]

Boosting access for next-generation biotherapies

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Enhanced access to regenerative treatments is needed so new healing solutions become broadly available in clinical care, according to Mayo Clinic research. Achieving validity, utility and mass customization would help realize the regenerative biotherapeutics potential, a Mayo Clinic study reports in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. “Emerging individualized biotherapies call for on-demand solutions tailored […]

‘Disease in a dish’ research to advance regenerative solutions for MS

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

A desire to stop the debilitating, life-changing symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) inspires Charles Howe, Ph.D., to take his investigation beyond standard research in the quest for regenerative therapies that protect nerves and promote healing. Dr. Howe’s team at Mayo Clinic seeks to answer whether axons — the neuronal wires that send brain signals to […]

Seeking a regenerative therapy for chronic dry mouth

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Mayo Clinic researchers are seeking a regenerative therapy for a vexing problem, particularly among cancer patients. How can medical providers treat a condition in which the mouth is so parched that it has an incessant feeling of a cotton lining? Xerostomia, also known as chronic dry mouth, is an agonizing side effect of injury to […]

Mayo Clinic research is a step toward hope for spinal cord injuries

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Early research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings examines the first case at Mayo Clinic of stem cell therapy tested in humans for spinal cord injury. The case study found stem cell intervention, which took place after standard surgery, and physical and occupational therapy, restored some function in a patient with spinal cord injury. The report, […]

6 “firsts” in advancing regenerative medicine toward patient care

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

A statewide bipartisan initiative is transforming health care from a focus on treating disease to one of tapping the body’s ability to heal itself. Regenerative Medicine Minnesota is a legislative initiative aimed at improving health by advancing regenerative medicine in research, technology, education and patient care across the state. Minnesotans statewide struggle with chronic conditions […]
