Mayo Clinic envisions a day when regenerative science makes it possible to offer a total larynx transplant to anyone who needs one. The research team of David Lott, M.D., hopes to overcome a shortage of donor organs and minimize the need for lifelong drugs to prevent organ rejection. Through regenerative sciences, the team is investigating ways a person's own tissue could be used as a natural therapeutic to integrate a donor larynx into the body with less risk of rejection.
