How Scientists Hope to Retrain the Immune System After Organ Transplant 05.08.2026 38min

What if transplant patients could one day live free from lifelong anti-rejection drugs?  In this episode of Mayo Clinic's Tomorrow’s Cure, host Lindsey Seavert speaks with Timucin Taner, M.D., Ph.D. from Mayo Clinic and Angus Thomson, Ph.D. from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center about one of the biggest goals in transplant medicine: teaching the immune system to accept a donated organ instead of attacking it. From the liver’s unique ability to promote immune tolerance to promising cell therapies and donor-derived treatments, the conversation explores how researchers are working to retrain the immune system, reduce side effects, and improve long-term outcomes for transplant recipients. Along the way, they discuss the future of kidney, heart, and lung transplantation, the promise of xenotransplantation, and how breakthroughs in transplant science may also help advance treatment for autoimmune disease.

When It's Not MS: Inside the Discovery of MOGAD 29.07.2026 42min

What happens when multiple sclerosis symptoms mask a different condition? In this episode of Mayo Clinic’s Tomorrow’s Cure, hosted by Lindsey Seavert, we explore myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), an autoimmune condition often mistaken for multiple sclerosis (MS). Mayo Clinic neurologist Eoin Flanagan, M.D., B.Ch., and pediatric neurologist Brenda Banwell, M.D., discuss how MOG antibodies define a distinct disease, why early recognition and aggressive treatment of acute attacks are critical, and how MOGAD can present with severe optic neuritis, spinal cord inflammation, and brain involvement such as confusion or seizures. They explain the internationally accepted 2023 diagnostic criteria, which integrate clinical syndromes, MRI findings, and antibody testing while accounting for false positives and changing antibody levels over time. The conversation highlights “vanishing” MRI lesions in MOGAD, patient-driven research, emerging relapse-prevention trials, and therapeutic promise in targeting pathways such as IL-6.

Could Milk-derived Nanoparticles Change Bile Duct Cancer Care? 15.07.2026 41min

What if the milk you are drinking could help fight cancer? In this episode of Tomorrow's Cure, we explore cholangiocarcinoma and a surprising new approach to targeting it using milk‑derived nanoparticles and precision aptamer‑based delivery. Host Lindsey Seavert is joined by surgical oncologist Dr. Rory Smoot and long‑term survivor and advocate Melinda Bachini to unpack why this cancer is so challenging, what symptoms and treatment paths patients typically face, and how emerging gene‑delivery platforms and AI‑driven discovery are opening new possibilities when standard therapies fall short. Through Melinda’s 16‑year survivorship story and Dr. Smoot’s lab work that literally starts with skim milk from the Mayo Clinic cafeteria, listeners hear how “chemical antibodies” called aptamers can act as molecular keys to deliver therapy directly to cholangiocarcinoma cells, and how computational tools are accelerating the search for new targets. Together, they discuss the emotional and practical realities of living at the edge of what medicine can do today, the expanding landscape of clinical trials, and why innovation in this rare cancer may ripple out to colon, lung and other hard‑to‑treat tumors.

Inside EVLP: A Revolution for Donor Organs 11.03.2026 39min

For people waiting for a lung transplant, every phone call could be life changing. But too many donor lungs are still turned down. In this episode of Tomorrow’s Cure from Mayo Clinic, host Cathy Wurzer explores how ex vivo lung perfusion, or EVLP, is helping turn a “no” into a “maybe” and sometimes a “yes” for patients who are running out of options. Cathy talks with Mayo Clinic cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Jack Haney and Brandi Zofkie, Associate Vice President at Lung Bioengineering, about how EVLP keeps lungs alive outside the body so experts can better evaluate and sometimes improve them before transplant. They discuss real patient impact, the logistics of making this technology available to more centers and the honest challenges that still remain. Listeners will hear why this innovation matters now and what it could mean for the future of lung transplantation, from expanding the donor pool to offering more second chances to breathe.

Predictive Medicine: Rethinking Rheumatoid Arthritis 28.01.2026 38min

Rheumatoid arthritis is often seen as “just” joint pain, but Mayo Clinic rheumatologist Dr. John Davis and University of Colorado researcher Dr. Kevin Deane reveal a far more complex and promising story. In this episode of Tomorrow’s Cure, host and journalist Cathy Wurzer explores how autoimmune disease can quietly develop for years before the first swollen joint, and how new blood tests, gut microbiome insights, and the exposome, our lifetime of environmental exposures such as cigarette smoke and wildfire haze, are helping clinicians see risk much earlier. The conversation dives into emerging tools that use artificial intelligence to sift through genetics, autoantibodies, microbiome data, and real-world exposures to predict who is most likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis and who will respond to specific treatments. Hear how prevention trials, lessons from type 1 diabetes, and more virtual models of care could change what it means to live with, or even avoid, rheumatoid arthritis in the future.

3D Bioprinted Skin: Breakthroughs in Regenerative Medicine 21.01.2026 43min

Skin is the body’s largest organ, and its health can reveal far more about aging and disease than what shows up in the mirror. In this episode of Tomorrow’s Cure from Mayo Clinic, host Cathy Wurzer talks with dermatologist and regenerative medicine expert Dr. Saranya Wyles of Mayo Clinic and biomedical engineer Dr. Adam Feinberg of Carnegie Mellon University about “SkinSpan” and the fast-moving world of 3D bioprinted skin. They explore how layered, living skin models built from human cells and collagen are helping researchers study conditions like eczema, chronic wounds, burns, and age-related changes in skin structure and pigment. The episode also dives into Dr. Feinberg’s hands-on, open-source bioprinting workshops, where clinicians and scientists build their own high-performance bioprinters for a fraction of traditional costs. In turn, democratizing access to advanced regenerative tools and accelerating discovery worldwide. Through these collaborations, bioprinting moves from theory to practice, enabling more teams to test new therapies and customize tissue models for their patients. The conversation further explores “zombie cells” (senescent cells), what they reveal about skin aging and inflammation, and how skin changes may influence whole-body health. Listeners will also hear about the ethical and practical questions that must be answered before bioprinted skin can reach routine patient care.
