Publications

The topics below group and provide links to publications authored by Mayo Clinic experts in various areas related to regenerative medicine and surgery.

Citations are from PubMed, a service of the National Institutes of Health U.S. National Library of Science. PubMed pulls references and abstracts from MEDLINE, life science journals and online books. Some citations include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher websites.

  • Beta Cell Regeneration
    • Producing glucose-responsive, insulin-making cells in the laboratory, which may lead to new treatments for diabetes.
  • Cardiac Regeneration
    • Stimulating the repair capacity of a patient's own stem cells prior to delivery into the heart is creating new regenerative platforms for patients with life-threatening heart disease.
  • Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
    • Studying the genetic basis for this congenital defect and how regenerative therapies can strengthen the hearts of these patients and delay — or even prevent — the need for heart transplants.
  • Liver Regeneration
    • Developing and refining a number of regenerative liver therapies and devices for patients who today must wait for whole-liver transplants.
  • Lung Regeneration
    • Leading research into lung preservation, lung re-cellularization and stem cell engineering to develop new regenerative therapies for a wide range of lung diseases.
  • Musculoskeletal Regeneration
    • Creating therapeutic approaches to treat injury, degeneration and malformation of the skeleton, muscles and connective tissues.
  • Neuroregeneration
    • Taking a multidisciplinary approach to regenerating and repairing nerve damage from spinal cord injury, stroke and degenerative neurological diseases.
  • Plastic and Regenerative Surgery
    • Developing treatments for congenital anomalies of the hands and face, burns, limb and muscle loss, aging, facial nerve injuries, and other reconstructive needs.
  • Valve and Vascular Repair and Regeneration
    • Creating biological heart valves, identifying new stem cells, and developing ways to enhance blood vessel growth and repair to treat the underlying sources of cardiovascular diseases.
