Training scientists to rebuild health
By Advancing the Science contributor
Experts predict that regenerative medicine will transform clinical practice. A conservative estimate is that 20% of future medical and surgical solutions will involve regenerative solutions. Regenerative medicine shifts the focus of medicine from fighting disease to rebuilding health. Regenerative medicine could improve human health span — the number of disease-free years — so a person’s […]

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 […]

Boosting access for next-generation biotherapies
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 […]

A regenerative reset for aging
Regenerative medicine could slow the clock on degenerative diseases that often ravage the golden years, a Mayo Clinic study finds. Life span has nearly doubled since the 1950s, but health span — the number of disease-free years — has not kept pace. According to a paper published in NPJ Regenerative Medicine., people are generally living […]

Q&A with outgoing director, Center for Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine pioneer Andre Terzic, M.D., Ph.D., was named inaugural director of Mayo Clinic’s Center for Regenerative Medicine on Jan. 4, 2011. Dr. Terzic built out regenerative medicine across Research, Practice and Education, integrating this emerging field into all medical and surgical specialties, laboratory medicine and radiology. Under his leadership, Mayo Clinic built a reputation […]

The importance of individualized regenerative medicine
Individualized screening, guided by artificial intelligence (AI) and biomarkers, can optimize the transformative potential of regenerative medicine, according to a Mayo Clinic study. The paper, published in Biomarkers in Medicine, maintains that using new scientific tools to match the right biotherapeutics to the right patient ushers in the era of achieving tailored regenerative care. Conversely, […]

Demystifying healing potential of stem cells
Mayo Clinic research has discovered proteins secreted by human stem cells that act as a “magic potion” to drive healing after a heart attack. The research uncovered that these cell-released regenerative particles harbor a pattern of functions mirrored in repair of the diseased heart, linking stem cell-transmitted information to the beneficial response of the recipient […]

Advancing regenerative medicine through a shared vocabulary
Regenerative medicine is defining an entirely new area of health care, spawning innovative advances across research, education and clinical practice. Like any emerging field, regenerative medicine is generating a plethora of new terms to learn. Mayo Clinic, a global leader in advancing this new field of medicine, contributed in establishing a standardized regenerative medicine lexicon. […]

The pivotal role of nursing in regenerative medicine
Nurses are uniquely positioned to counteract a pandemic of chronic diseases by integrating regenerative medicine into patient care, a Mayo Clinic study finds. To execute this pivotal role, the stalwarts on the frontlines of health care should stay abreast of research, be trained in regenerative education and embrace new regenerative technologies, according to the paper […]
