Mayo Clinic leads biorepository core for new nationwide research on long-term symptoms of COVID-19
Mayo Clinic research is dedicated to finding solutions for patients who were infected with COVID-19 and the many affected by the long-term symptoms of COVID-19 ― what the National Institutes of Health (NIH) refers to as “long COVID” or post-acute sequelae. In response to great unmet patient need, the NIH launched a new research initiative […]

Uterine microbe found to have disease-causing behavior in endometrial cancer
By Susan Murphy
A tiny microbe thriving in the uterine microbiome — a population of bacteria, viruses, yeasts/fungi in and around the uterus— could be a contributing driver of endometrial cancer, according to a new Mayo Clinic study. “We have found that a microbe that is particularly associated with endometrial cancer is capable of pathogenic behavior, and is […]

New Framework Leads to Surprise in Early Human Development
By Sara Tiner 
Mayo Clinic and Yale University scientists have developed a minimally invasive process for studying early cell development in a living person. The team reconstructed the cell history of two adult volunteers from just after cell fertilization. They found that in the first cell divide — 29 years earlier for one volunteer and 66 years earlier […]

Toxic Cellular Ooze Linked to Biological Age, Disease and Disability
By Susan Murphy
By Sara Tiner Cells in the body usually do what they’re told. In response to cues, cells divide, grow, shrink or die as needed. But there are some cells that start to ignore the body’s order to expire: senescent cells. Sometimes called “zombie cells” for their undead lingering, senescent cells have triggered the body’s kill […]

Research into Experimental COVID-19 Therapeutics Explained
By Susan Murphy
By Sara Tiner COVID-19 can affect people in a number of ways. Some can be infected and have no symptoms ― what’s known as being asymptomatic. Others have symptoms, but do not have a serious illness. And some can require hospitalization for intensive complications. For those with symptoms or those who are progressing to hospitalization, […]
