The bioengineered model uses a nanofiber scaffold tissue that is seeded with human heart cells. Acting as a 3D template, the scaffold guides the heart cells and their assembly into ventricle chambers, ...

An engineer has created a 3D model of the human heart, inspired by his daughter’s heart condition, with the goal of creating a library of virtual hearts for researchers to use whenever they want.

To make sure new drugs don’t cause these deadly side effects, scientists have built a 3D model of the human heart.

In addition, this team hopes to eventually “cellularize” the printed heart, or add human heart muscle cells to the structure, to make it beat like the real thing.

Science Astounding 3D-printed human heart model cuts and sutures like the real thing The full-size, life-like model could give surgeons a chance to practice their life-saving skills.

In a small, windowless room at Toronto General Hospital, a bank of seven 3D printers runs day and night, patiently laying down layer after layer of coloured plastic. When the printing is done, the ...

Researchers have developed a three-dimensional model that shows how exposure to cadmium might lead to congenital heart disease. Affecting nearly 40,000 newborns a year, congenital heart disease is ...

Chicago-based biotech company Biolife4D claims to have 3D bioprinted a miniaturized human heart — chambers, ventricles, and all.

There's been a potential breakthrough in making organs in the lab. Israeli researchers have 3D printed a heart, complete with muscle and blood vessels. But how long before it is ready for actual ...

How to 3D-print a living, beating heart Think 3D printing is all about obscure plastic widgets? Think again – bioprinting pioneer Jennifer Lewis has a plan to make living, breathing human organs ...
