Mayo Clinic researchers are studying whether low-dose radiation therapy can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by targeting inflammation in areas of the brain affected by the disease.

The clinical trial is the first to investigate low-dose radiation as an anti-inflammatory approach in patients with early-stage Parkinson's disease.

Mayo Clinic researchers are building an early warning system for airborne viruses, bacteria, fungi and allergens. The experimental biosensor is designed to continuously monitor indoor air, detecting and measuring up to 100 biological targets in near real time — information that could help protect patients and others in shared spaces.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, largely because most patients are diagnosed after the disease has already spread. According to a Mayo Clinic study, people who develop pancreatic cancer experience measurable changes in body composition years before diagnosis that differ from those seen in similar individuals without cancer.

Mayo Clinic researchers found that GLP-1 receptor agonists, medications widely used for diabetes and weight management, were associated with a lower risk of dialysis or kidney transplantation in adults with bipolar disorder and chronic kidney disease.

The study, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, suggests that a popular class of medications may offer an added benefit by helping protect kidney health in a high-risk group.

Researchers in a Mayo Clinic-led study have shown how to detect a broad range of DNA mutations in noncancerous human tissues and across the genome.

The analysis, drawing on more than 90 trillion DNA letters of sequencing data, could help scientists study when these changes arise — from early development through aging — and how they contribute to cancer and other diseases.

Mayo Clinic’s Radiomics-Based Early Detection Model (REDMOD) has been named one of @TIME's Best Inventions of 2026, recognizing an innovative approach to detecting pancreatic cancer earlier.

REDMOD uses AI to analyze CT scans for subtle changes in pancreatic tissue texture that may be detectable up to three years before a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

With support from the Hoveida Family Foundation and high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) technology from @nvidia, a multidisciplinary team at @MayoCancerCare is advancing an innovation with the potential to transform pancreatic cancer detection.

You probably know that a lump in the breast may be a symptom of breast cancer. But what about breast cancer that develops without that warning sign?

Inflammatory breast cancer is a fast-moving cancer that doesn't usually form a lump; instead, the skin on one breast changes rapidly.

On a cold December night more than a decade ago, a snowmobile crash on a rural Iowa road left Chad Rockow with a shattered lower leg — and months of surgeries, setbacks and pain so severe he considered amputation.

Nearly 13 years later, he learned the accident had set something else in motion: a Mayo Clinic discovery of a hidden, inherited disease affecting his entire family.

The liver can regrow itself. But after major surgery, that remarkable ability can be put to the test.

When part of the liver is removed to treat cancer or other conditions, the remaining tissue must regenerate to restore function.

Dr. Patrick Starlinger, a hepatobiliary and pancreas surgeon at Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses research aimed at helping the liver recover and regenerate after surgery.

No two spines are exactly alike, and personalized 3D-printed titanium options are giving Mayo Clinic surgeons a way to more closely match an implant to a patient's individual anatomy.

Instead of traditional implants manufactured in standard sizes, surgeons are using implants designed from a patient's own imaging.

"The benefit of these is they're custom fitted for each particular patient," says Dr. Joshua Bakhsheshian, a Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon.

When a patient experienced multiple blood clots and other complications with no clear cause, a multidisciplinary team from Mayo Clinic worked to uncover answers. Their investigation led to the identification of a previously unknown blood-clotting condition and a new approach to testing for clotting disease.

These findings are already helping others and advancing diagnostics and treatments for patients with blood-clotting disorders.
