Science Saturday: Orthobiologics can be nature's healing agents
Mayo Clinic physician-scientists are working on regenerative biotherapeutics such as orthobiologics and other regenerative bioinjectables to bring advanced procedures to more patients. Orthobiologics are biological agents that stimulate healing when standard therapies don't work. Examples are platelet-rich plasma — platelets spun from a patient's blood that promote cell repair — and bone marrow aspirate concentrate that contains stem cells and many other cells that have shown potential for tissue regeneration. "Orthobiologics are like nature's drug… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)

Protect Your Skin And Bones With A Surprising Combination
No one wants to get wrinkles. They’re a sign of getting older. But they may be a sign of something else…
Something you’d never suspect. Something even your doctor would never suspect…
They may be a warning sign of bone disease in menopausal women, according to a recent study. In fact, researchers found that the deeper your wrinkles during the first years of menopause, the lower your bone density will be — and the greater your risk of osteoporosis.1
So what’s the connection between deep wrinkles and low bone density?
It’s oxygen.
You know that after you work out, your skin is flushed. That’s a health...

How My Employee Made A Stunning Recovery, And How You Can Too
All the patients we treat at the Sears Institute are special. But today I want to tell you about one who is like family to me…
I’m talking about my clinic manager Brandi. If you’ve been to my clinic, you’ve probably met her. She’s a favorite with patients.
In all the time I’ve known her, she always had a smile on her face. But Brandi’s smile hid the unbearable pain she endured every moment.
Brandi had been in a horrific car accident that caused major damage to her back. Injuries to both her cervical and lumbar spine left her in constant pain. Every move she made was agonizing. It got to the point she coul...

When stem cells can ’t roll on a bumpy road, muscles break down
Key takeawaysStem cells travel along a collagen network to reach damaged muscle tissue and heal it.In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, stiff, scarred collagen prevents stem cells from reaching their target.A protein called sarcospan lessens this scarring and allows stem cells to do their job more successfully, pointing toward potential new treatments for the disorder.Muscles that ache after a hard workout usually don ’t hurt for long, thanks to stem cells that rush to the injured site along “collagen highways” within the muscle and repair the damaged tissue. But if the cells can’t reach their destinat...
