Heart disease — the leading cause of death in the U.S. — is so deadly in part because the heart, unlike other organs, cannot repair itself after injury. That is why tissue engineering, ultimately ...

A minuscule model of a human heart, the size of a grain of rice, has been created in Israel. With the potential to put an end to the often criticized animal testing by pharmaceutical companies.

Teams Collaborate to Develop Human Heart Model to Assess Effect of Autoantibodies on Heart Function Vunjak-Novakovic, a bioengineer renowned for her pioneering work in engineering functional human ...

The resulting model comprises multiple chambers, pacemaker clusters, epicardial membrane and endocardial lining, all meticulously designed to mimic the structure and functions of the human heart.

Medera and its subsidiary Novoheart have collaborated with scientists at the University of California San Diego School of ...

The resulting model comprises multiple chambers, pacemaker clusters, epicardial membrane and endocardial lining, all meticulously designed to mimic the structure and functions of the human heart.

Scientists have found a novel way that includes a new lab-grown material that could help slow and even reverse some of the ...

Brown University biologists found that when a protein called AIMP3 was removed from heart cells in mice, it led to severe ...

The study was conducted on zebrafish, an animal model that exhibits strong similarities to human heart rate and overall cardiac function. The researchers were able to map out the composition ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Bioengineers have developed the first biohybrid model of human ventricles with helically aligned beating cardiac cells, ... Reference: Chang H, Liu Q, Zimmerman JF, et al. Recreating the heart’s ...
