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.

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 ...

For the first time in recorded history, scientists have created a working, vascularized engineered heart using human cells by printing it in 3D.

Several companies have attempted to create usable 3D models of the heart. There are versions that recreate the exterior of the heart, and others that are in prototype.

The team successfully 3D-printed a heart using human tissue and vessels, according to their paper published in Advanced Science on Monday.

A unique prosthetic human heart, so realistic it can be operated on, is made using a 3D printer.

In major step towards 3D printed organs, scientists in Tel Aviv print heart with cells and blood vessels.

Though smaller in size, the 3D-printed organ features the same cellular structure as a full-sized human heart. The company sees this first example as a roadmap toward bioprinting a full-size human ...

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 ...
