We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame seed-sized heart organoids, called cardioids, ...

Three-year-old cardiac patient Fatima holds a 3D model of her own heart Children's cardiac surgery has been revolutionised by the development of 3D-printed models of patients' hearts, a leading ...

Scientists that study human disease have long had to rely on animal models or cell culture platforms in which cells grew in a layer in a dish, both of which do not always allow researchers to get an ...

Biologists have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame-seed-sized heart models, called cardioids, that spontaneously self-organize to develop a hollow chamber without the need of ...

As a bold venture at the forefront of biomedical research, the PULSE project is poised to develop paradigm-changing bioprinting technology for applications in space and on Earth. Awarded nearly 4 ...

Discovery led by Prof. Yaakov Nahmias from the Hebrew University marks a new era in cardiovascular research, a multi-chambered, self-paced miniature heart model, holding the key to saving lives and ...

Human embryo models capable of synthesizing their own blood have been developed, in an advance that could lead to new treatments for blood disorders as well as the production of stem cells for ...

Children's cardiac surgery has been revolutionised by the development of 3D-printed models of patients' hearts, a leading consultant has said. Southampton Children's Hospital has created more than 100 ...
