The first biohybrid model of human ventricles has been used to answer a centuries-old question. Unlike other organs, the heart cannot repair itself after injury, so being able to engineer an entire ...

Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times. Give a tennis ball a good ...

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development. The ...

University of Galway researchers bioprint functional human heart tissue - bringing us closer to generating functional ...

Ncardia, a leading human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology company, today announced the launch of Ncyte® Heart ...

In cell culture, human cardiomyocytes significantly proliferate, and the total number cardiomyocytes increased by 30 percent when treated with follistatin as compared to the control groups. In an in ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs ...
