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 […]

Advancing regenerative care through biomanufacturing
One of the challenges of integrating regenerative medicine into patient care is the time and regulatory rigor it takes to validate new therapies. Mayo Clinic’s Center for Regenerative Medicine is working with industry collaborators to streamline the process of moving the latest tissue engineered and cellular products from bench to bedside. As part of its […]

Harnessing the body’s ability to heal
Researchers at Mayo Clinic are studying ways to engineer human-like tissue to bolster the body’s ability to heal itself. Scientists in the Regenerative Medicine Biomaterials and Biomolecules Lab have engineered biomaterials that could regenerate tissue capable of restoring injured nerves and bones. They’ve discovered that biomaterials derived from polymers are biodegradable. When used along with […]
